I've Moved to a New Site

It has been a dream of mine to move all my works/projects under one umbrella, and by the grace of God, it came to fruition last December; the new website address is

Join me there for posts on my faith, articles on anything, poetry and movies. 

Thank you! 

A New Life Is Possible

Dear friend, are you an alcoholic, addict, adulterer, smoker or in any other form of bondage? Do you make life difficult for yourself, friends or family members?

Here is freedom and transformation.

God's Desire For You

From the beginning of time, God has been speaking to the human race. He spoke through the greatness of His creation: the sun, moon and stars; the mountains, seas, trees and flowers; various birds and a vast number of animals. He spoke more clearly through His prophets in many different ways. But, best of all, He spoke to us through Jesus Christ:

"God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds;"

                                                                               (Hebrews 1:1 - 2)

Some Things You Should Know About Jesus

1.   The Saviour Of The World: God loves you very dearly, that He gave His only Son, Jesus Christ, to die as your substitute, so that you might be forgiven and receive the free gift of God's eternal life (John 3:16) in all its fullness (John 10:10).

2.   The Baptiser With The Holy Spirit: Jesus Christ is the baptiser with the Holy Spirit. The third person of the Godhead, convicting of sin, of righteousness and of judgement; drawing sinners to the Saviour, rebuking, pleading, searching, comforting, guiding, quickening, teaching, baptising and endowing with power from above on those who yield to His tender ministrations, preparing them for the great day of the Lord's appearing.

3.   The Great Physician: Jesus is the great healer. He made provision for your healing through His death on the cross -

"who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed." (1 Peter 2:24).

"Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases." (Psalm 103:3). 

"Surely He has borne our griefsAnd carried our sorrows;Yet we esteemed Him stricken,Smitten by God, and afflicted.5 But He was wounded for our transgressions,He was bruised for our iniquities;The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,And by His stripes we are healed." (Isaiah 53:4 - 5)

4.   The Second Coming King: In the second coming of Christ, first to resurrect the dead in Christ; the saints that are alive will also meet Him in the sky, to be with Him forever. 

"For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first." 

                                                                         (1 Thessalonians 4:16).

 5.   The Death of Jesus Christ On The Cross:

"For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit" (1 Peter 3:18). 

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)

6.   The Blood Of Jesus: The Blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sins.

"But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin." (1 John 1:7).

7.   The Way To Heaven: Jesus said

"I am the way, the truth and the life; no man comes to the father but by me" (John 14:6). 

Therefore, we must receive Christ's personal invitation. 

"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me." (Revelation 3:20)

Receiving Christ involves trusting God to come into your life, and forgiving you of your sins. Turning away from sin and allowing Christ to live His life in you. Thus, give your life to Him right now, because tomorrow may be too late.

Home (A Poem)

HOME 

A Building, A Flat, A Room

Family, Spouse, Children

Comfort, Joy, Peace, Belongin'

Being there is blissful

The thought of loosing it, abysmal

It keeps the fire in my heart going

Making every day a blessing

Amidst life's blows; 

It hides the scars

The people are great

The food is perfect

The ambience is paradisical

An overflow of everything good

The bad comes uninvited

But can't stand the awesomeness

... of our togetherness

In Christ we root ourselves

Thus, the wind can't shake us

Even when death strikes

Our eternal home is the destination

A place of perfection

Where worries vanish

Pain's dismantled

Laughter rules

Lit by smiles

As teeth glow

Highfiving Angels

With wings and halos

Trinity is re-united

Satan's defeated

And all the Saints sing

Hallelujah to the King

Image of the Day

The maiden post of this 'Image of the Day' series was rapture themed with a humorous twist (see here) ; but today's image is moving toward the weird, except for us it's defined as an ascension unto glory.

Thank you for visiting again and God bless you.
