The stage we call “Social Media”
“All the world’s a stage; and all the men and women merely players.” —William Shakespeare Social media is a stage—one where we act out the identities we wish people around us to see. I am no hater of social media. In fact, I spend a lot of time surfing […]
Let’s Tune It Up!
The radio is an amazing machine. It comes in many forms: some are huge, some are small; some advanced, some not. And they can be found anywhere in the world, even the poorest country in the world has one. Notice that no matter how old the radio is, all you […]
Breaking Up with Breakups
Breakups are painful experiences that many of us, myself included, may have gone through—some more painfully than others. It hurts to see our friends experience one, let alone ourselves. Leading up to the event, we are often consumed by doubt and apprehension. A whirlpool of emotions causes great confusion in our heads. […]
What’s up with #YOLO?
Go! Do whatever you want to do because you only have one life to live. #YOLO This proposition seems compelling. For it’s hard to disagree with the fact that you only live once. I mean, passages from Romans and Ephesians make it pretty clear that we were once dead, […]
When we Love Man more than God
Have you ever wondered what will happen when not even a single person cares enough to seek after God’s heart? What will happen when everyone on the face of this earth stops putting in effort into loving one another with the kind of love described in 1 Corinthians 13? What […]
Movie Review: The Maze Runner
The title of this movie effectively captures what it is all about. Though a pretty simple storyline—a group of boys trying to get out of a maze—there’s enough thrills and spills, tension, excitement and drama interspersed throughout the entire show that will leave you glued to the […]
Unbelievable Grace
What do you expect from life? For Naomi and Ruth, probably they couldn’t expect much. We read their story in the book of Ruth. Chapter one opens with a famine in the land. At that time, Elimelech took his wife Naomi and two sons into the foreign land of […]
Glory Be to You
“And [the angel] said to them, ‘Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him.’ ” (ESV) Glory be to you, O Lord Open up my heart and mind […]
Why Did You Do That?
Why did you do that? I’m not referring to the things we do on reflex such as cracking our neck (which I do when I’m tired), but moments in life where we need to make a deliberate decision on a course of action. In the past when I applied […]
Six Reasons Why I Should Get the iPhone 6 Plus
Sleeker. Bigger. Faster. Clearer. Cooler. Apple’s nailed it again. The recently unveiled iPhone 6/iPhone 6 Plus is, in Tim Cook’s words, “without a doubt, the best iPhones [we’ve] ever done.” Whether you’re an Apple loyalist or Apple detractor, it’s hard to pick fault with the new iPhones. They’re great. […]
A Saint is a Recycled Sinner
For our charity appeal, we recycle aluminium drink cans to raise money. Sometimes I would go out with a bag to collect the cans that were thrown in the streets so we could sell them later. The proceeds went to school fees in India: 150 kilogram of cans = £60 = […]
You gotta follow this!
Have you ever felt the urge to purchase the product you just saw on television, ad shell poster, or billboard? Or perhaps, you are one of those who don’t mind watching the full length of an advertisement just before your YouTube video plays. You may even enjoy watching TV […]
Me and Dresses
I did it again. I bought a dress. I couldn’t help it. It was so cheap. I didn’t need it. Me and dresses, we have this dalliance going on for quite some time. They are not to disturb me and steal my attention. They are to look bland and […]
Soul Anchor Poem
Inspired by Hebrews 6:19 “We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain.” (ESV) Merciless storms and roaring waves, Batter us well beyond repair. Relentless quakes and violent shakes, Defeat us utterly to the ground. Oh […]
Five Reasons to Rejoice in Suffering
With the trials and sufferings that life throws at us, facing these hurdles often makes dealing with life itself wearisome. Whether they are bearable or devastating, each of the struggles has its lessons that are intended by God. So, instead of simply going through the motion or even seeking quick escape, […]
