We Are God’s Witnesses
In this article, we look at the third implication of what it means to be a member of God’s big family. Previously, we talked about two levels of significance that come with why God, the Father, had to let His Son, Jesus Christ, die for us: We are members of Christ’s Body. We are a […]
We Are the Body of Christ
This reflection builds upon our previous article, “we are God’s family.” You may need to review it in case you missed it. As we go through Lent this year, let’s remember that God’s only intention, by sending His only begotten Son, still is to draw us back to Himself. What we talk about in this […]
Fear to Hope
At the time, I’m updating this article from April 2020, it’s the first day of March 2021. And, that’s close to a year into the COVID pandemic. Even though more people are increasingly getting now the vaccine, we should still admit that there’s been a lot of fear in society, as a result of […]
Personal Transformation: The Soul
As we’ve studied before, personal transformation affects four levels: mind, heart, soul, and body. So far, we have discussed the mind and the heart. You may need to review those two reflections to make a better sense of what we study in the following lines: the soul. Our biblical foundation comes from two scriptures: […]
Personal Transformation: The Heart
Personal transformation affects four levels of who we are: mind, heart, soul, and body. So far, we’ve talked about the mind. In this reflection, we’ll discuss the second level, drawing on what the Bible says about it. The Mind is an open field The mind is our inner first way […]
Two Steps To Help You Press On
In this reflection, we’ll look at a two-step process to help us keep pressing on, no matter what we face. Life will always throw at us difficulties, challenges, or troubles, and all the other disruptions. But, choosing to press on is the only attitude that can help us stay spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically […]
Jesus Christ, the Source of Hope
Jesus Christ is the source of our hope. Even though most Jews, during the days He was and dwelt among people, did not believe He was the Messiah (the Christ). In spite of their unbelief, they all still knew that the Messiah had to come someday, and resolve every human problem. Once in the […]
Gratitude: A Listening Heart
Gratitude requires a listening heart. To achieve it you’ll need the ability to discern God’s will and appreciate God’s goodness and grace, no matter what you face. All that comes out of two things, which I discussed in my previous reflections: Gratitude: Life in fullness Gratitude: the heart of prayer Read this scripture, Rejoice always, pray […]
Gratitude: Life in Fullness
Gratitude comes out of an attitude of worship as a response to the gift of God’s kingdom. We have received the kingdom of God by faith, and as a result, God is King over our souls, hearts, and lives. Review our previous reflection, Gratitude: the heart of prayer. The point of making God be […]
Gratitude: The Heart of Prayer
Gratitude is a spiritual discipline. I know that when we think of gratitude, what comes to mind is “saying thank you.” Usually, we thank people (and God) only when things go our way. Don’t we? We behave this way because that’s how we, humans, are wired. Joy, pleasure, gain, growth, reward, etc., are the […]
