Ecclesiastes

Ecclesiastes 1:1-4 The words of the Teacher, son of David, king in Jerusalem: “Meaningless! Meaningless!”    says the Teacher.“Utterly meaningless!    Everything is meaningless.” What do people gain from all their labors    at which they toil under the sun?Generations come and generations go,    but the earth remains forever. I have recently read the book of Ecclesiastes, a book written with profound wisdom and insight. Most people view it as a depressive and negative book, but I can assure you that it is far from a piece of dark writing but rather a realistic view of our existence. Solomon, the king of Israel, observed the way people lived,…

An Impersonation of Truth: Kristian Meets Truth

The figure darted from shadow to shadow in the dimly lit alley. He wore a hood that hid his facial features. He eventually arrived at the door he was hoping to arrive at. He knocked and waited. The peephole slid open. "Who is it?" the voice grunted. "It's Deception." "What do you want?" "I'm looking for Dr. Compromise." "Why?" Deception removed a photo from his trench coat pocket and held it up for the doctor to see. It was a photo of Truth. "I know you're a good surgeon, I need you to make me look like Him." The doctor grunted…

Sex of the Times

You know for a fact that when an article like this is posted, it's serious business. Sex has been crushed and burnt in the incinerator of modern times. The perversion of this God-given gift is blasphemy in His sight as we tragically twist it into something else. When God originally created sex it was for a divine purpose. Genesis 9:7 As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it.” However, many other individuals have taken this sacred act and used it for evil. David had sex because of lust... 2 Samuel 11:2 One…

Walls

In the figurative sense, everyone is building walls in their lives. They are also pulling down some of them. To live as a Christian, we need to make sure that we are building the right walls and that we destroying the walls that are supposed to be destroyed. If you have no idea what you are doing in your life, chances are, you are destroying your own fortresses while giving a helping hand to your enemy's territory. That's one of the worst things you can do to yourself. In Joshua 6, the Israelites had to conquer Jericho. In doing so, they…

Poetry And Stories

Words and phrases entwine Metaphors and allegories realign Connotations and rhymes Formed in this mind of mine   I remember back in the day when I was in grade 2. The art class was told to write a poem. At the age of 7, I didn't what poetry was apart from the fact that the lines needed to rhyme. So I wrote random two line sentences that rhymed. The poem didn't really give a message but to me, it seemed good since it rhymed. Everyone was told to stand up and read their poem out loud to the class. Once mine…

Just My Thoughts…

I don't like this world that we are living in. I don't know if it's just me or is there others out there? So much of brokenness around us and what are we doing? Those who complain about this sick world are probably the ones causing the problems or doing nothing about it. We live in a world that will grab a Ferrari at the expense of your bread and butter. Giving is better than taking but no one believes that anymore. We live in a society that aims high, so high that they will trample others to get there. Morals…

The Secret To Happiness

Did you know that for every 40 seconds that passes by, someone has committed suicide? In that same 40 seconds, 20 people have attempted it. This means that in the past 24 hours, 2160 people have died because they wanted to. What does that say about the state of minds people are in? Something happened in their minds to make that decision. Something went wrong. Isaiah 26:3 You will keep in perfect peace     those whose minds are steadfast,     because they trust in you. If we keep our trust in Christ, we will have peace of mind. Our state of mind depends…
