What does “obedience of faith” (Romans 1:5) mean?
Reflection on Psalm 106 (Week 31, 2026)
free devotional guides for your quiet time
Reflecting on John 2:13-25. The Jewish authorities who asked for a sign from Jesus believed that they were in the position to judge but the truth is that we are only called to recognise and respond. It is true in this time and age, with so many false and deceiving teachings that Christians have to …
I preached in church today and this is the text of my sermon. Perhaps it will help clarify some of your thoughts about worship. Last week we looked at Psalm 40 and Elder Peter pointed out to us that the proper action on our part is to wait for the Lord; God does the rest. …

I was tasked to preach on the shepherds as a part of an ongoing series on the characters of Christmas. This is my sermon, verbatim. Good morning. The topic given to me is actually this long “Shepherds: As believers we must understand that the gospel reaches all people” and I decided to shorten it to …

(I was to preach on Galatians 2 last week and thought it would be a good idea to spend my quiet time on the text and that was why the devotion for Week 43 was on Galatians 1 and 2. Here is the text of my sermon. It is about 6 pages long, so be …

After reading through what I wrote in the previous reflection, another thought came to me. In a recent discussion (this time in a teaching session with a number of people), someone asked “how can we love the unlovable?” Having spent some time on 1 John 4, I responded saying that we should go back to …

“God is not fixated on outcomes,” I told him in a sudden burst of inspiration. He was sharing with me about some issues/disagreements he has with others in his church and I said that he cannot run away from the fact that none of us are indispensable and none of us are irrelevant when it …
For me, there is something mysterious about the love between a man and a woman married to each other and I have learned not to judge their interactions because I don’t know or understand the bonds that are created over the time spent together. After all the physical, emotional, sexual elements that may have played …

I have always looked at Luke 7:36-50, the story of the prostitute who gate-crashed a dinner party, from the angle of how sensitive Jesus was towards the woman, giving her the space and privacy to deal with her emotions. This time I saw that the rest at the dinner party were also major characters in …

By Russell Moore (https://www.russellmoore.com/2019/08/15/when-someone-you-admire-abandons-the-faith/) Someone shared with me this article after reading what I wrote in my reflection “Winning the argument and losing the love”. I thought it is worthwhile sharing. I’m reproducing it here so you can see whether it is worth your time but do use the link above to read and explore …

The young man reconnected with a young woman several months ago. His own growth as a person in the past year opened his eyes to appreciate her in new light. Where previously he had looked at women physically he now appreciated her maturity, her responsible nature and her “smarts”, and feelings developed. As they are …
