Thursday: July 2, 2020 Matthew 9:5 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk? I will look at the words of Jesus from a rather unusual perspective today paying attention only to the first few words he uses "which is easier to say..'. The words 'sorry',... Continue Reading →
OFFER DECLINED
Wednesday: July 1, 2020 Matthew 8:34 And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts. Two sides of a coin could not have been any better at creating the kind of contrast we can generate from our text... Continue Reading →
TIME TO REMEMBER
Tuesday: June 30, 2020 Reference: Matthew 8:23-27 In my current book I am reading, I came across these words "the eyes produce the raw materials for our imagination. Combined with the input from other senses such as sound and smell, we are presented with a resultant brew or cocktail that shapes our imagination to a... Continue Reading →
UNUSUAL RESPONSES
Monday: June 29, 2020 Reference text: Acts 12:1-11 Acts 12:6 The night before Peter was to be put on trial, he was asleep and bound by two chains. A soldier was guarding him on each side, and two other soldiers were guarding the entrance to the jail. Sleepless nights? Many of us have had at... Continue Reading →
PUT LOVE FIRST
Sunday: June 28, 2020 Matthew 10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

Saturday: June 27, 2020 Reference: Matthew 8:5-17 Recently, I called a government agency for some enquiries and realised I had set up a voice recognition password on their system. It felt like repeatedly saying 'hey Google' from the very first time of setting up a new phone so the voice assistant is configured to accurately... Continue Reading →
PATIENCE PAYS
Friday: June 26, 2020 Reference text: 2 Kings 25:1-12 A quick scan of recent postings highlight a word that has made a number of appearances but has not been sufficiently explored. In light of today's text emphasising patience, let's have a more in-depth look at the word "SIEGE". I had to make a necessary trip... Continue Reading →
SHOW ANOTHER WAY
Thursday: June 25, 2020 2 Kings 24:9 He did evil in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father had done. Young ones mainly pick up skills and traits by watching others practice. Just like the Akan proverb "those behind learn from those ahead". The statement present in today's text tells it all 'Jehoiachin... Continue Reading →
PUBLIC OPINIONS
WEDNESDAY: June, 24 2020 Luke 1:60 And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John. No, his name is John! That was a mother making a stand. I could see the entire gathering making a case for why the lad should be called Zechariah: First, the name was already in... Continue Reading →
