I Need to Make Progress
God, i need to make progress. I want to press forward. I am tired of standing still. I am weary of hoping for the best. I no longer want frenetic activity with no result. I don’t want to be like a swimmer who flails around with no forward movement. I need change. God, show me a[…]
What’s Your Relationship With God Like?
I love sci-fi. I believe in the inviolability of the human will. I don’t think God can be fully understood. God doesn’t seem restricted to labels or fit into boxes. But, so many people passionately seek to understand him, so they can relate with him better. One thing has always fascinated me about God –[…]
It Takes Character to Build Institutions
Anytime I read about the shenanigans of our country’s politicians, I wonder whether my generation will break the cycle of impunity to do better. I ask questions like, “Are we any better than our politicians? Have we handled money and power well? What impact have we had on the people and institutions around us? Have[…]
Scandal!
I watched the last five episodes of Scandal yesterday. I was really curious about how it would end. When the series began, I really liked it and then when the plot became overly complicated and the values became suspect, I stopped. I consume the arts primarily for inspiration. When they vex me more than they[…]
Business Needn’t Be Cold
A dear friend says I take business personally. It is true. I am passionate about the things I do. It’s in my DNA. A long time ago, I realised there were already enough cold businessmen in the world. The world didn’t need another one. There’s too much hardness in the world, so let business be[…]
God Let’s Talk For A Minute
When I ask you for healing, I don’t want to feel like a beggar, God. I don’t want to plead or to be at the edge of my seat, in hope. Children don’t beg their fathers for life. Treats maybe, but not permission to live. Lord, when Jesus shed his blood and exchanged his for[…]
God Is Excited At The Thought Of You
There are two songs that I have on repeat – Cory Asbury’s Reckless Love and Steffany Gretzinger’s Pieces. These songs intrigue me because they speak about two sides of God’s love. Cory sings about redemptive love. It is the love that Francine Rivers tried to capture in her book, Redeeming Love. It says that no[…]
You Should Give Up
A friend recently wrote about the value of giving up. Sometimes, you do so to restrategise, or so you can live to fight another day. In the same week, another friend tweeted about his struggle to finish books and that he had many half-read tomes. I responded, “Life’s too short to finish a book that’s not[…]
Why am I Unhappy?
I’ve been unhappy for days. While I’m not gung-ho or happy-go-lucky, I have an equilibrium that has developed over years. When my parents died, God stood between me and my grief. I could sense him lurking about. His presence has a way of calming me. As I studied the Bible, I found daily devotionals formulaic,[…]
Stop Trying to Control God
As I grew up, I realised that God answers prayers, but not all the time. Then something struck me. I was spending a chunk of my life trying to control God; trying to develop a Christian formula that yielded predictable results. I wanted to input prayer, fasting, giving and good works, so the Christian processing[…]
