ANCIENT YET RELEVANT

-

Since the fall of the first Adam, the consistency in the desperate wickedness of man have proven over and over again that without Jesus man cannot function effectively.


If you read through the books of the Bible, it’s easy to spot the fruits of wickedness of man.


None of the prevalent sins fighting our world today are new. Recycled and rebranded? Yes. We’ve done a good job giving new names to the different forms of sins that plague our society but these sins aren’t new they are ancient. 


Our world is searching for answers in everything but the one who made everything. Things like our ancestors, ourselves, the universe, man made gods, money, creatures, animals etc.


What baffles me is that those things only came to be because the one who made everything made them be, yet we worship anything but the creator himself.


The good news is, the creator who existed before the fall of man and still existing is ANCIENT BUT VERY RELEVANT and is the answer we need.


It’s saddening that a lot of people who have proclaimed to know and represent this creator have done a terrible job representing him but a good doctor doesn’t stop being good because some of his patients didn’t properly follow the medications given. You instead go see the doctor for yourself.


What am I trying to say? Because a proclaimed Christian doesn’t represent Jesus Christ well doesn’t make him any less who he his. It in fact exposes the wickedness and weakness of man without Jesus.


Through the help of the Holyspirit the earlier Jesus becomes a lamp unto our feet the better for us.


Jesus is the answer we have always needed and will always need. He his ANCIENT YET SO RELEVANT. The earlier we come to terms with this the better for us.


Peace ✌🏾

EXCEEDING JOY

-
This past weeks have been filled with thoughts of me questioning what the heck I’m doing with my life, especially in my spiritual life. I’ve borderline been joyless and I mean joy that only God can give. With little to no zeal to pursue or seek God’s face talk less of tarrying in his presence, all I have genuinely desired and enjoyed is pleasing my flesh (Netflix, random Youtube videos, mindlessly scrolling through Instagram) but in the midst of all that I’ve somehow disciplined myself to study my bible and pray. The main theme of my prayer being “UPHOLD ME WITH A WILLING SPIRIT”. I knew my spirit was willing but my flesh was so weak. In that same vein, I was enjoying a show on Netflix tonight when my spirit began to nudge me to seek God, I initially resisted but soon found myself asking to be upheld. I was soon led to Jude 24 which with all humility I have lost count of how many times I’ve read it. I in fact started a study guide on the book of Jude a week ago. But I followed the spir...

HOME IS YOU AND I - WE ARE ALL WALKING HOMES

  Google says home is the place where one lives permanently, especially as a member of a family or household, but that changed for me at the age of 16. I had to leave the people, places and the very things that I called home. Joy filled my heart at the prospect of being able to get a higher education, I packed my bags with things that would remind me of home in hopes to mask the pain my heart was also feeling. Hours later. Here I was in a foreign land, my new home. A new continent, country, state, city, culture, people, food, and a new climate. Months turned to years and this foreign land become my home. The people my people, the culture my culture, the city my city. I made friends that became family. The city became a beauty I looked forward to beholding. I looked forward to the different season the weather had to offer, and I soak them all in. Despite the challenges that came with leaving my home country, I was able to make home of this new city.   Minnesota is known for its...

LET'S TALK MASTURBATION

-
What is Masturbation? Masturbation is the self stimulation of your genitals or other sensitive areas of your body for sexual arousal or pleasure. Some biological benefits of masturbation are: Reduce stress Relieve tension Improve sleep Increase your focus Boost your mood and so on So it’s safe to say that biologically there’s nothing wrong with masturbating. With all that said, Should Christians Masturbate? Who is a Christian? A Christian is someone whose behavior and heart posture reflects Jesus Christ. So back to my question, Should Christians Masturbate? ABSOLUTELY NOT! Why? 1 Corinthians 6:18 - 20 :  18  Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.  19  Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,  20  for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. It’s tr...
