That moment when you tell yourself you need to pray but you procrastinate. That time when you promised you will pray first thing in the morning but deep down you know you never have time in the mornings. Sound familiar? You’re in good company. Most of us want to pray. We want to commune with God. There are even times… Read More
I think it’s a given that none of us has life all figured out. We are often grasping at straws trying to connect the dots and fix the square pegs in a round hole(or however the saying goes). Recently, I was in a shuttling quagmire (please forgive my English, not sure what’s going on). I had some group work and… Read More
I had poured out my heart, bared my soul … my words were emphatic, persistent. I had highlighted salient points, starting from the very beginning, all the way to the end. It was a message that had it all. And after I sent it… *crickets* Not a single response. No one said anything. Not even an acknowledgement that a message… Read More

It is active rather than passive, demanding our attention and application. There are a number of Bible verses that lay credence to this word. Here’s how the Book of James puts it: “But be doers of the… Read More
“Every Christian must have a quiet time with God.” Can you be a Christian without spending time with God?” “Every Christian must do their morning (and evening) devotions!” You may have heard similar statements going around the Christian sphere – sermons, blogs and even, songs that eschew why we must have a quiet time. These statements are so common… Read More
