 The Spiritual Impact of Rejecting God Photo by Liu JiaWei on Unsplash Everything is so simple, shuffling God aside. It is not dramatic, but it eventually creeps in over the years, and you will hardly even notice it before it is too late. Deadlines, assignments, the entire grind thing all leave us trapped in the rut of I know enough and the relationship once so firmly established begins disintegrating. This silent aloofness occurs in the Bible in many more ways than we actually imagine. It is not about any noisy insurrection; it is, generally, merely our sulking down the voice of God as some dull sermon. We may continue to believe in God but we cease to tune in. We have stopped seeking advice, and we find ourselves wondering how we have actually made decisions that are in tandem with what God wants. It might not seem that there is anything wrong with ignoring God. Life continues, plans are still in motion and even success may seem to have come temporarily. The bible continues to r...

  The Significance of Wisdom in Real life based on the bible.   Photo by John Modaff on Unsplash Introduction   We make decisions every day as a college student, and it is necessary to decide whether to go to the gym, which major to take, and whether to respond to a group chat or not. Other decisions seem insignificant such as scrolling through Facebook or taking a late-night snack whereas others are critical, as they are selecting a career path, nurturing friendships or completing a difficult course work. During such times, it is not sufficient to know something but to be wise. Wisdom is a virtue highly appreciated in the Bible and it is also very vital to us. The difference between knowledge and wisdom lies in the aspect of acquiring facts and using the facts in such a manner that results in good. It helps us to go in the right way that pleases the Lord. The Bible continues to remind us to follow wisdom because it guides our life and helps to avoid to make wrong ...

The Gospel of Grinding: Does Hustle culture Work with a Faithful Christian Life? Photo by Carlynn Alarid on Unsplash The Gospel of Grinding.   The culture of hustle is literally all over now. Call your phone and before you can even have a cup of coffee you are being bombarded with the 5:00 am morning routines, cold plunge videos, and guys boasting of not leaving their rooms till they reach a million bucks. The essence remains the same, you will not grind and lose, and you will not rest and fall back. It was a complete generation gorged on that story whole and named it ambition.   However, sincerely, there exist costs of grinding. We are watching people burning out at high rates. The stress is high and reports of individuals who had pursued success all they had to know that hustle had left them empty have been coming in. Consider Matt D'Avella - filmmaker, YouTuber, the guy who made a Netflix documentary about minimalism. He has worked there and he had confessed that...

THE REASON FOR GRATITUDE IN CHRISTIAN’S LIFE Photo by Michael on Unsplash INTRODUCTION Gratitude is one of the most important moral principles every Christian must have in his or her character. In our spiritual life, we need gratitude to be more close to God. Gratitude simply means being thankful and accepting what we are given with appreciation. However, being grateful have a deep meaning than saying a simple thank you. It is much more of recognizing God’s goodness, mercy and love in our daily lives. In a life we live in, things are not as easy as we think. We face many problems, people disappoints us, and we lose many things that makes us sometimes to be ungrateful. Sometimes, the problems we face make us forget about God’s goodness and we often forget to be grateful. However, the Bible teaches to be grateful, whether we are living in good times or bad times. The Bible teaches us that when we are still breathing is a big sign to be grateful because not everyone gets that. As Bel...

Loving Your Enemies: One of the hardest Teaching of the Bible Photo by Rafa Prada on Unsplash INTRODUCTION One of the most challenging and important commandments of the Bible is to love our enemies. Loving our family, loving our friends and loving those who are good to us is very simple for us as humans. But loving those who betrayed us, disappointed us, those who hurts us becomes very hard for us. The most way we use is to treat those who wronged us with anger or revenger. However, Jesus teaches something different: to love our enemies and praying for them. This teaching is very challenging for us yet very important. To live according to God’s will is to love everyone and treat everyone with no hate. Instead of responding hate with anger, Jesus tells us to offer mercy, love and prayers to those who wronged us. For some of us this commandment feels impossible. We do not understand how, we can love someone who have betrayed or wronged you. We do not understand how we can forgive ea...

Introduction to the Book of Second Epistle of Peter Photo by Matan Levanon on Unsplash Sometimes when we read the New Testament letters, we move too fast. We jump straight into the verses and arguments. But honestly… the introduction of a book often tells us so much about the heart behind it. This letter is deeply personal and it also call 2 peter. This letter also look like an urgency call by the older aspostle, almost like someone who knows his time is coming close and on earth is short and wants the church to stay awake. Traditionally the letter is attributed to Simon Peter , the same fisherman from Galilee who followed Jesus Christ . The man who once denied Jesus… and later became a bold witness. By the time this letter is written, Peter appears older, seasoned by suffering, persecution, and long years of ministry. And that changes the tone of the whole book. This introduction is not just theological. It feels pastoral. Concerned. A bit urgent even. So let’s slowly walk thro...
