THE VOICE OF REASON

“But his servants came up and reasoned with him.” –2 Kings 5:13 Naaman was blessed with humble servants who pleaded with him and reasoned with him. Where was the voice of reason who would calm the angry crowd in the Nazareth synagogue? It may have only taken one voice of reason to still the Nazareth crowd and prevent Jesus’ very own townspeople from carrying out their murderous intentions. The disciples and Peter corrected the powerful Sanhedrin. “When the Sanhedrin heard this, they were stung to fury and wanted to kill them” (Acts 5:33). Nevertheless, Gamaliel, the one voice of reason,...

Redeeming the time…

Colossians 4:5-6 5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. 6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one. (WEB) Seventy years may seem like a long time to live on this earth. And in some ways, it is quite a race that we are all running, but in the light of eternity, it is but a blink of an eye. In James 4:14, our life is called but a ‘vapor’…. Whereas you don’t know what your life will be like tomorrow. For...

Father’s family model…

1 Thessalonians 2:7-8 7 But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children. 8 Even so, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you, not the Good News of God only, but also our own souls, because you had become very dear to us. (WEB) This is the first of a two part blog where I will be talking about the model of family that our God and Father has intended for His kids. I find it interesting how descriptive the Apostle Paul is in today’s passage of Scripture using the...

Whom He loves, He disciplines…

Hebrews 12:4-6 4 You have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin; 5 and you have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, “My son, don’t take lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by him; 6 For whom the Lord loves, he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives.” (WEB) The discipline of the Lord is something that is not talked about a lot in many Christian circles. And if it is, it is often skewed in a way that portrays God as angry and judgmental. Since my mandate...
