The Bible Doesn’t Say That

The Bible Doesn't Say That (Part1) - Emmanuel Naweji

Have you heard of some sayings that feel so good when you hear them, and even think they are Scripture? Guess what? Some of them aren’t, and through this three-part series, we will only look at three. In this reflection, we will focus on “follow your heart.” I only published this one here. The other […]

It’s Your Moment Too – Part Four

Your place and role - Emmanuel Naweji

Here’s the last part in the series, “It’s Your Moment.” To review what we’ve previously discussed, click any of the links below:   Your true identity in part one. You find hope in God who changes times in part two. Be strong and courageous in part three.   Take a look at this scripture, which […]

It’s Your Moment Too – Part Three

It's Your Moment Too - Part Three - Emmanuel Naweji

Here’s the third part in the series, “It’s Your Moment.” So far, we’ve looked at two reasons this time is your moment too: Your true identity in part one. You find hope in God who changes times in part two.   In this reflection, we will use Deuteronomy 31:6-8 as our foundation, Be strong and […]

It’s Your Moment Too – Part Two

It's Your Moment Too - Part Two - Emmanuel Naweji

In this reflection, I use the story of Daniel as we continue with our series, “It’s your moment.” Check out the one I shared previously in the series by clicking here.  Read first Daniel 2:20-23, which I will use as the scriptural foundation for our reflection,  During the night the mystery was revealed to Daniel […]

The Book of Hebrews: Living by Faith

The Book of Hebrews: Living by Faith - Emmanuel Naweji

This article is the last reflection in the series, The Book of Hebrews. It covers the last three chapters of the book: 11 through 13.  Here’s how I’d divide the entire book.  First, the author of the book makes the point of who Jesus is, in chapters 1 through 10.  Remember the letter was originally […]

On Faith

On Faith - Emmanuel Naweji

This article is the first of the four in this series as we reflect on 4 Biblical words that begin with the letter “F.” These words are among the most used throughout scripture, which we all need to be aware of since a mastery of these concepts will daily sustain us as Christians. For the […]

Conviction Over Convenience

Conviction Over Convenience - Emmanuel Naweji

This part of Acts speaks to something we all want: convenience. We will use chapter 21 for this reflection. Read verses 1 through 16. You can also read the entire chapter if you want.  Chapter 21 is like the transition from Paul’s last missionary journey (third) to his trip to Rome, which also marked the […]

Called to Share the Story

Called to Share

There are a ton of books out there talking about how to share the story of our faith. A common word is “witness.”  Scholars, preachers, and speakers, all talk about this subject. A lot of thinkers say that the decline of our Churches resides in the inability of our Church people to witness their faith.  […]

Called to Care

Part of our calling as people born of water and the Spirit is to care for others!  That’s in addition to being God’s servants, and Christian leaders. Review my previous reflections:  You’re baptized, then you are God’s servant.  You are called to lead.  Before delving into today’s reflection, read the following words from our Lord, […]

Called to Lead

Every Christian, born of water and the Spirit, not only is she/he a servant of God but is also called to lead!  That’s kind of redundant, one would think. Isn’t it?  Of course, how can you be a servant of God without becoming a leader? And, how can you be born of water and the […]
