Recently I came across a Bible verse that though simple got me thinking. When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus. – Acts 4:13 The apostles Peter and John had been arrested [...]
Have you ever received an invitation with RSVP required? RSVP is a request to respond to the invited person. It derives from the French phrase répondez s’il vous plaît, which means “Please respond.” We can receive a request for RSVP on invitations to weddings, birthdays and other events. But more important, we have an RSVP request to renew our relationship with God, for an abundant life, and for eternal life. It is clear that the message of salvation applies to everyone: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in [...]
Who enjoys doing exercise or going through a diet? I don’t know about you, but I don’t find any joy in doing any of these. However, perspective changes when we focus in the results rather than in the process. An athlete goes through the “pain” of physical training with the prize in mind. When we [...]
Exploratory surgery is a diagnostic method used by doctors when trying to find a diagnosis for an ailment. It is used most commonly to diagnose or locate cancer in humans.

Being the final objective to assemble the gift as soon as possible, who has time to read the instruction manual? Assembling a toy should be easy, so [...]
Sometimes it feels like our lives are always part of the losing team. In baseball when a team is continuously losing the first option is to change the manager. The same thing happens in our lives: we should stop trying to manage our team and allow Jesus to take that responsibility. When Jesus was on the [...]
What comes to your mind when you hear the word “power”? If you like sports maybe you would think of A home run A dunk A knock out If you like science maybe you would think of A volcano A twister The sun Or maybe you would think of other things as An explosion Wealth [...]
The word “fashion” sounded to me like a concept totally unrelated to Christianity. In fact, I thought there were no references to fashion in the Bible. That is, until I read Romans 13:14. Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature. [...]
The TV remote control is just a small object, but seems to be one of the most important household devices. It is the reason for daily battles: whoever gets it first has the power to decide what channel to watch. If you don’t understand what I mean just ask a kid (or a man ready [...]
