Many of us begin our lives following a pre-set path, governed by standards the world has already laid out for us. From the moment we are young, we are guided by the voices around us and shaped by expectations until we find ourselves living out these worldly patterns without even realizing it. We grow up following a script we did not write, subconsciously stepping into roles that were prepared for us long before we arrived. We have normalized these standards so deeply that we

The Echoes of God's Word Over the past few months, I have noticed how common it is for us as Christians to continually seek revelations, signs, or confirmations, even after God has already spoken. We often find ourselves praying for multiple signs and extra reassurance before we are willing to take a step and align ourselves with His perfect will. Before I go any further, I want to clarify that seeking the Lord and living a life of submission to His leading is essential to ou

On a Sunday morning, I ordered an Uber to church because I was running very late. As I got into the car, the Uber driver began chatting with me. We talked for a while, and about four minutes before reaching the church, the driver asked me an intriguing question: “What’s your outing for today? Are you going to work?” I replied “no, I’m heading to church.” We had continued our conversation after that question, but as I got to church, I wondered, why work? Why did he think of

Finding My Way Out of the Christian Funk: A Journey of Reflection and Renewal

A journey of Trust I have been meaning to write about the idea of trusting God in difficult seasons for a while now. Resting and trusting in God was a crucial period in my life a few years ago, and still is. I made a decision, directed by the Holy Spirit, to return to my home country. Upon my return, it was necessary to restart life again. Yet, I was reminded of the instruction I once got: rest. The Unconventional Rest In a world where being constantly active is the norm, it

In a society filled with judgment, even as Christians, the characters in scripture offer valuable insights into the human experience. Yet, we sometimes rush to judge these figures, missing the important lessons their stories provide. As Apostle Paul writes in 2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Timothy 3:16-17 “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness...” The characters in the Bible encourage reflection

When we think of the Holiness of God, What does it mean to live holy? For quite some time, I've found myself in a unique mindset as a believer. I've encountered questions that have led me to reflect on the true God, Adonai, the creator of the heavens and the earth. Many of us have likely heard about Him, His love for us, shown by sending His only begotten son as the ultimate sacrifice for the remission of our sins. And the Holy Spirit, who came after Christ's ascension, to te

Just a day ago, I made an error that made me feel rather inadequate. I spent some time criticizing myself, believing that someone with...

Throughout scripture, we encounter individuals who lived a life of consecration to God. But for those of us living in countries where Christianity can be openly practiced, it might be challenging to fully comprehend the profound sacrifice and consecration required to walk with God. This is because, while it is a privilege to express our faith freely in these countries, we might lose sight of the importance of living a life of consecration and sacrifice to God, possibly becaus

While reading the first blog post a few hours after publishing it, I reflected on the various ways I have mirrored Christ, or at least attempted to do so. Reflecting Christ as a Christian does not mean you have arrived at perfection. The reality is that we will offend people, though not intentional. Christ, who was and is perfect, had people who were offended by him, which we can read about in Matthew 15:10-12. Emulating Christ does not make us perfect immediately. We all as

A Good Year to Mirror Christ As I sat in my living room on New Year’s Eve, pondering on what my first blog post will be about, I...
