Understanding God’s calling: How God leads us to our purposes Photo by K. Mitch Hodge on Unsplash INTRODUCTION Many of us in question about our purposes in this life. We sometimes wonder about our purposes here on by asking ourselves questions like how to know if it is God calling me? A believer should ask these common questions himself to understand his purpose. The Bible shows us that God calls ordinary people to fulfill huge purposes. Sometimes God calls us in a clear and direct way and sometimes it takes a time to understand God’s calling. However, here is one truth; God’s calling is not about the carrier or the position. God’s calling is living according to his purpose and willing to serve him in our lives. Understanding God’s calling requires being patient, faithful and willing to trust him when the path seems to not be clear. God calls us to open our mind and understand the spiritual truth. This is like an invitation God gives us to gain the grace of salvation. The Bible ex...

Impact of Spiritual Discipline in a world full of distractions. Photo by Sunguk Kim on Unsplash INTRODUCTION We are in the world full of distractions. Distractions always come in our daily life. Notifications interrupt conversation with friends, we engage in social media just to capture chase attention. We live in a world where multitasking is awarded for higher productivity. Being calm and silent feels uncomfortable. Staying still feels very unproductive, so focusing feels much impossible. But spiritual growth teaches one thing, the modern life seems to ignore: discipline. It is not about religion or any kind of God’s commandment but creating a special space for God in our hearts. Spiritual discipline in a distracted world does not mean isolating ourselves from the society. It is about guiding our hearts in the right way in this distracted society. Discipline is not about minding our own life and withdraw from other’s life; it is about knowing God’s purpose and willing to fulfil ...

Why does Obedience matter as Christians? Photo by  Yannick Pulver  on  Unsplash   INTRODUCTION There is a time in our lives when obedience feels like a random thing. We understand obedience just like a common thing from our elders that we have to perform to achieve certain morality. Sometimes, we do not even get the meaning of obeying. We just do it because we are supposed to do it. When God’s directions meet our path and plans, it is easy to follow him. However, sometime we see obedience as a confusing thing, When obedience does not meet what we believe or what we expect, why is hard for us to obey? Why is it hard for us to obey when something to obey feels unreasonable? Obedience becomes hard when it does not make sense. The Bible does not ignore the reality. We see many people in the Bible who we are asked to obey for no reason, who were told to obey when it makes no sense. Their obedience felt like it had no meaning but they obeyed as they were asked. For Christi...

The Role of a Father in the Family According to Scripture Photo by Szilvia Basso on Unsplash When I sit down and think about what a father is supposed to be… honestly, sometimes my mind gets a little foggy. Maybe because fatherhood feels huge. And fragile. And beautiful. And sometimes scary. The Bible paints this picture of a father that’s both strong and tender, wise and learning, gentle and tough when needed. And somewhere in that mix is a very human man trying to honor God with his life. Today, I want to walk through what Scripture actually says about the role of a father in the family , verse-by-verse style, comparing some Hebrew and Greek words, and talking real. Not polished. Not theological like some heavy textbook. Just casual and maybe helpful. This is long, like a blog you’d sit with for a while. Maybe with tea. Or coffee. Or while kids are screaming in the background—because that’s real life. 1. The Foundation: God as Father Before Any Human Father Before we even tal...
