BURDENS THAT EXCEED OUR VOCABULARY.  There are burdens we can explain. There are burdens we can describe. And then there are burdens that exceed our vocabulary. One morning, Terra got up as usual and quietly knelt by the side of her bed to pray. The words of a popular gospel song kept ringing in her mind: “Way maker, miracle worker,

THE FUTURE IS STILL BRIGHT.  Mide was staring seventy in the face. In another six months, she would turn seventy. Three score and ten. That was it. She remembered vividly how excited she had been when approaching her sixtieth year. There had been so much positive anticipation. Somehow, that excitement was nowhere in sight now. What had happened to the

THE POWER OF INTIMACY I have been thinking about intimacy lately, and I have come to realise that it could mean different things to different people.

It is written “He has made everything beautiful in its time.” Ecclesiastes 3:11a NIV Not early. Not late. But IN

GOD HAS NO DEAD ENDS Have you ever tried to make your way out of a maze? It is frustrating, to say the least. But other emotions show up too. There is always an element of anxiety. The longer one spends in the maze, the more uneasy they feel. Confusion is not far behind. Imagine entering the maze with confidence—only

THE RESURRECTION: OUR VICTORY, OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS, OUR NEW BEGINNING  A traditional Easter call-and-response in many orthodox churches goes like this: CHRIST IS RISEN! HE IS RISEN INDEED!!! The origin of this powerful declaration is found in scripture: “The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.”  Luke 24:34 (KJV) While this confirms the resurrection of Jesus as a historical
