Reflections of faith (The right way) – 6 February 2019


Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)

I woke up this morning with a happy heart. I am tired but I am happy. How many ways are there? Life is simple, because there is right way and a wrong way. The problem is how we calculate the right way. What is the right way and how do we know what is the wrong way? The moral question has been a well debated issue in the atheist world. You see, as Christian we know that God created moral values and His word is the basis of what we see as morally correct today. But man corrupts the moral compass by pushing God out and modifying it to suit his own selfish needs.

So, when you watch the media and the outside world you get a very corrupted view of what is right and what is wrong. In fact, it is wrong, but we can argue it correct if it becomes a human rights issue. So being gay is correct, but having an affair is wrong. Having multiple partners before you get married is acceptable, just as long as you stay faithful to the one you decide to marry. How did the world get so confused and why do we allow this when we all read the same Bible? 

The problem with modern society is that they will manipulate the Bible for their own benefit. This makes being a parent or a Christian so much harder. We know what the Word teaches, yet we conform to the world and we accept. We forget that there is only one way.

Jesus said that He is the way and the truth and the life. He is the only way to the Father and if He is your way then all His teachings apply to your life. This means if it is wrong it is wrong and we should not turn away from it and allow the world around us to influence us purely because it is what the worldly norm is. 

Jesus also said that He is the truth. He is the son of God and in Him we have complete freedom. In Him we are separated from the sinful world and united with the Godly realm. We become righteous in the sense that we are washed clean and a completely new creation. 

Jesus said He is the life. Once we are converted or made over by His grace, we see life differently and suddenly we live. We truly live because we see the prize that awaits us in doing His will. We live because there is no burden that holds us back from His love. We live, because we suddenly understand the value of life and the end that awaits those who are still lost.

Come with me today as we live life fully for His glory and His honour. 

Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus. 

Cheers

Just to remind you

When I say that 'I am a Christian', I am not shouting that 'I am clean living. I'm whispering 'I was lost, but now I'm found and forgiven.'  When I say 'I am a Christian', I don't speak of this with pride. I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.   When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not trying to be strong. I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.  When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not bragging of success. I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.  When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not claiming to be perfect. My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it. When I say 'I am a Christian', I still feel the sting of pain. I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name. When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not holier than you. I’m just a simple sinner who received God...

Today Reminder – 7 August 2014 (Day 5 – Return to Proverbs)

A reminder for today Honour the LORD with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce. Then he will fill your barns with grain, and your vats will overflow with good wine. (Proverbs 3:9-10) When we realise that all we are and all that we are good at is a blessing from the Lord we soon see how we can honour Him with these wonderful talents. I give all the credit to the Lord for all that I accomplish and all that I do and I am humbled by the way He continues to give me wisdom in my work. The promise here is much greater than we realise. When we honour Him with all that we produce, He will fill our barns and let our vats overflow. This to me means that the more we honour Him in what we produce (do) the more He will bless what we do up to the extend where we will see His blessings and they will leave us completely overwhelmed. In the end all that we have comes from God and He will increase what we have when we seek Him above all and live to bring glory to Him. ...

Today Reminder (Boxes) – 9 November 2017

A reminder for today   I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End [the Eternal One]. (Revelation 22:13 ) When you are reading this, I will be well on my way to my parents. Today is their moving day and we are off to help. Now, when it comes to moving I am almost an expert. We moved a few times and I can tell you it was never fun. Even still today our furniture starts to shake when a truck drives by. Now moving is all about boxes. Your stuff goes into the box and then onto the truck and finally at the new destination the stuff comes out of the box. One thing I can tell you is that with every move our stuff got lesser and lesser, because I gave some away that I thought we do not need anymore. Some would think I just made it less and easier to move. I would argue the opposite, but surely everyone is entitled to their own opinion. When we look at life it is a bit like moving. You see we experience things in life and we box it. This c...
