In our modern world, phrases like “It’s all relative,” “Your truth,” and “Your identity” are commonly used. They reflect a perspective that everything is subjective and open to personal interpretation. But there’s a fundamental flaw in this viewpoint: the concept of relativity is meaningless without an absolute reference point. As a programmer, I often write… Continue reading 2Co 5v17 – It’s your truth
Listening to a podcast on our recent road trip, I learnt about the psychological effects of constantly thinking of oneself. The key lesson was that from a psychological perspective, there is no difference between thinking about yourself and being miserable. This reminded me of a video I saw on social media where the speaker made… Continue reading Mat 5v14 – Turn your light on
Is the day you get married the best day of your life?

Carpe Diem – Seize the Day. It’s more than a call to action; it’s a reminder not to let our days slip by unfulfilled. In the rhythm of daily life, it’s easy to fall into a routine, repeating the same actions, rarely venturing beyond our comfort zones. This is particularly true in our spiritual lives,… Continue reading Ecc 11v4 – Carpe Diem
An engagement is one of the most exhilarating times of one’s life. Planning, designing, the location, the proposal – all a part of creating the perfect moment. While I experienced this recently, many moments in our lives can give us the same joy. However, the thing about “moments” is that they are fleeting. We can… Continue reading 1Co 10v31 – Special moments
Jesus’ disciples asked him what it would be like in the last days before he returned. He said there would be “wars and rumours of wars…Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places” (Matthew 24:6-7). This is a picture of our world today! But more… Continue reading 1Pe 4v7-8 – The end of the world
Our driveway was being rebuilt after it washed away using concrete border blocks set in cement. However, the cement was laid on top of loose sand. While cement is strong, its strength didn’t matter since it was built on something fluid. Before long, the sand shifted, cracking the cement and causing the border to crumble.… Continue reading Isa 26v4 – Crumbling foundation
