I like how the Word of God uncovers the fundamental building blocks of how God wants us to live our lives. This makes it easy for each of us to return to the essence of what He is saying so that we do not miss the “spirit of the law” for the “letter of the law”. For instance, Jesus Himself alluded to this importance of grasping the fundamentals and essence of the law when He spoke about the greatest commandment – “love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and st

“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will remain secure and rest in the shadow of the Almighty [whose power no enemy can withstand].” Psalms‬ 91:1‬ AMP‬‬‬‬‬‬ It is inevitable that we face trying circumstances. Sometimes it feels as if we are taking two steps in front and three steps back, and the cycle keeps going on and on without rest given.

Living up to 100 years may seem a long time, but in the light of eternity, it is but an ink-mark used to place the comma in a 100,000 page Encyclopedia. The apostle James reminds us not just about the frailty of life, but our approach towards it. He calls boasting of success an evil that we ought not to get int

“But just say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I, too, am a man under authority and have soldiers under me. I say to one ‘Go’ and he goes, to another ‘Come’ and he comes, and to my servant ‘Do this’ and he does it.” Matthew 8:8-9 God has called us to be a people of faith. Faith is the currency of our relationship with God, the thing that pleases Him, and perhaps, our only reasonable response to His call. He wants nothing less. And He deserves nothing less. This el
