Response to the Topic of Walking in the Holy Spirit (Sep22 CSLI)
A Monthly Reflection This month we enlisted ourselves trying to seek after the Holy Spirit. Yet I must challenge that right off the starting line. I think we are being pursued. In fact, I believe we are already purchased, just on layaway. We are on layaway! And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God,…
Response to the Topic of Being Transformed by Scripture (Oct22 CSLI)
A Monthly Reflection This month we sought to be surrendered by the transformation of the Holy Scriptures. When we are immersed in water, we stay wet, when we leave the environment – we eventually dry out and there is not any evidence most likely that we were ever soaked. Such is the need to stay…
Response to the Topic of Growing in Prayer & Faith (Nov22 CSLI)
A Monthly Reflection Wherever the providence of God may dump us down, in a slum, in a shop, in the desert, we have to labour along the line of His direction. Never allow this thought—“I am of no use where I am,” because you certainly can be of no use where you are not! Wherever…
Response to the Topic of Walking in Humility (Dec22 CSLI)
A Monthly Reflection “Try not to become a man of success,” said Albert Einstein, “but try to become a man of value.” While there may be some exceptions, it is usually true that valuable people are eventually recognized and appropriately honored.

Response to the Topic of Colossians 4:2-6 Life Application (Aug23 CSLI)
A Monthly Reflection This month is a direct reflection regarding life application of the Scriptural text of Colossians 4:2-6. 2 Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving; 3 praying at the same time for us as well, that God will open up to us a door for the word, so that…
Response to the Topic of Theological Integration and Disenculturation (Apr24 CSLI)
A Monthly Reflection Disclaimer: I am not a trained Biblical scholar, nor am I the Almighty, the great I AM. Only He can write, change, or authorize Scripture.

Response to the Topic of Heaven or Hell (May24 CSLI)
A Monthly Reflection The road to Hell is paved with good intentions! Unknown Over the past couple of years, I have said at random times to various people, that I believe the world is suffering from two things right now, deception and debauchery. The former from the father of lies and the latter right…
