When turning the other cheek doesn’t work
It took me a really long time to understand Jesus’ teaching about turning the other cheek. But on the day that I did, I gained a whole new perspective on how Christians should respond to oppressive laws, acts of injustice and also when violent, physical retaliation in the form of war, is appropriate. In HisContinue reading “When turning the other cheek doesn’t work”
I don’t believe in work/life balance
Although I tried it for many years, I no longer believe in work/life balance, and here’s why – The term work/life balance implies that there is work and then there are other things in life. According to this way of thinking, finding the balance means that there has to be a trade-off. In the end,Continue reading “I don’t believe in work/life balance”
What advertising agencies do for their clients, we’re called to do for Christ.
Originally published on Christ Notes – Week of 23 October 2013 You’ve probably heard these slogans: “Just do it,” “Drivers wanted,” and “It’s everywhere you want to be.” And you’ve almost certainly heard of Nike, Volkswagen, and Visa; however, you probably have never heard of the advertising agencies that coined those slogans: Wieden & Kennedy;Continue reading “What advertising agencies do for their clients, we’re called to do for Christ.”
Prayers of a man in prison
In an earlier post, I observed that the church’s mission goes beyond our preferences and perceptions of how, where and who to serve.

When God sends you to the dogs and pigs
A few years ago, my parents had just returned home from church on Easter Sunday. They were met at their gate by two people who were going door to door, and in their words, “making disciples, teaching others to observe all that Jesus commanded in the great commission.” My father pointed out that his wasContinue reading “When God sends you to the dogs and pigs”
Jesus Revolutionized The Role Of Women
In this post, I won’t be telling women to become feminists or to accept the beliefs and philosophies of the feminist and women’s liberation movements. This is because, I have discovered from reading the Bible that our God has already declared and decreed equal status of women, long before any feminist movement came into being. ItContinue reading “Jesus Revolutionized The Role Of Women”

First things first … know who you are before you know what you are to do!
Women are doers. We’re always doing things. We feel good about ourselves when we do for other people. We do things without questioning why and what we’ll get in return. We have a heavy schedule and routine that affects other people. If we don’t cook, the family doesn’t get fed. If we don’t go toContinue reading “First things first … know who you are before you know what you are to do!”
