Resurrection Sunday: The Lord is Risen, Alleluia

Good Friday belonged to men; they could do what they wanted, and they did their worst – they nailed Jesus to the Cross. But Easter Sunday belonged to God. Men have no part in it, except to watch in awe and amazement at the marvelous things God was doing. Men condemned Jesus to death, but […]

Silent Saturday: When God Seems Silent

It’s been a day since Jesus died. The Holy Bible doesn’t tell us what was it like to go through the silence of Saturday, to be in the unknown, to have doubt, fear of persecution etc. We all have been in that place. To worry about tomorrow. The why question looms in our minds. Why […]

Worst Easter Ever

Worst Easter Ever! Why wouldn’t it be? Celebrating the resurrection of the Lord Jesus under Covid19 Lock-down. It seems really bad. We can’t go out to church on Holy week (Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Sunday). We can’t wear our newly bought clothing, can’t go out to a restaurant, can’t meet family and friends nor […]

New experiences, new friendship, new adventure, new joys, but also new tears, new sorrows, new detours, new hardships, new challenges. […]

Do You Know Your People? – Part Two

We speak, teach & train people as if they are all in the same level of faith. In another way of saying this: We teach & train holding the presupposition that everyone is in the same grade. The result of this, leaves us wondering why lives are not changed, why people don’t show Godly faith, […]

Do You Know Your People? – Part One

In ministry, we often think of people having the same level of faith as everyone else (including you and me). We think that, whatever we do or prepare; we are doing it for the same group of people. Too often in ministry we shoot in all directions, hoping it’ll resonate something with someone. The problem […]
