If I teach my kids to share their toys and food, give away their crayons and pocket money, donate everything they own to charity but do not teach them the love of Christ, it is shallow. (John 3:16) If I manage to teach my kids every verse in the Bible, such that they can quote them with proficiency, but haven’t given them the message of grace and of how we… Read More »Lord, Teach Me To Love My Children Right

“Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts.” – Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of Wind I have long been intrigued by the power of words and what they can do to a soul. My two-year-old loves to talk and spoke his first word when he was only… Read More »Life-Changing Words
Ever since I was old enough to understand evil spirits, I had been frightened yet strangely fascinated by them. All those “ghost stories” I’d hear from friends and relatives had a deep impact on me. Little did I realise that those harmless things could affect my life. I remember how, as a little girl of about 7 or 8 years, I would be scared to even walk from room to… Read More »Overcoming My Fears
1. Jesus said that man does not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. Maybe that could explain why so many of God’s children are decidedly malnourished and/or crippled in their faith, tossed around by every wind of teaching propagated by false teachers. 2. The best books that purport to speak about a biblical view on manhood, womanhood, parenting, marriage, relationship, church… Read More »Random Musings About the Word of God

Much of my understanding about God was either incomplete or erroneous due to my immature handling of His word. Recently, I’ve discovered and unearthed hidden treasures in the Bible through systematic… Read More »How NOT to Read the Bible
The Challenge: Proverbs 31:10–31 I have wrestled with this passage on the noble woman more than any other passage in the Bible. If you are a married lady, chances are this passage has been shared with you more times than you can remember. If you are engaged to be married, brace yourself. It’s going to keep coming. My biggest struggle with this passage was not because I didn’t understand it.… Read More »The Proverbs 31 Challenge
Let me start with a confession: I am not an avid football fan. If you were to catch me watching something, you would more likely find me watching Teddy Bear Detectives with my kids than a league football match. However, I did grow up in England and played young league football till I was in in my teens, so I have a basic understanding of the game.

Today, our lives are largely driven to flaunt a delusive ideology that errs in keeping a strong foundation and a clear mindset. Francis Bacon wrote, “But men must know, that in this theatre of man’s [including women] life, it is reserved only for God and angels to be lookers on (Book II, The Advancement of Learning),” and that, “Man prefers to believe what he prefers to be true (The Essays).” There… Read More »How Do You Reinvent Yourself to Be Who You Want to Be?
