GOD IS NOT A MAN

DAY 267 Isaiah 55:8,9 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

MINI BITES

DAY 265 Lessons in life can be gleaned from many sources. In today's mini bites, I share three lessons after reflecting on an 800-kilometre drive.

REORIENTATION

DAY 264 Matthew 9:9 As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,” he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him.

HEARING ALONE DOES NOT PROFIT

DAY 259 Luke 6:46 Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? There are many who hear the same words of encouragement or advice all year round and yet at the end of everything, it seems they heard nothing. Using an analogy, Jesus in the Gospel presents two kinds... Continue Reading →

WE BEHOLD UNTIL WE ARE FORMED

DAY 258 Luke 6:40 A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher.
