TIME OF POWER

Nathan Beacom said: “Mitákuye Oyásiŋ is the Lakota way of saying “we are all related.” It is a phrase that points to the interdependence of all things. The Covid-19 pandemic and the ecological threats of our time, are excellent examples of this truth. It is an idea that is both practical and philosophical. On the practical level, it applies to that sense of communal care that defines the relationship between neighbors. On a philosophical level, it means that the world…

“The Lord tests the hearts” (Proverbs 17:3b). The most suitable spot for the human heart to be tried and refined is with the Lord Himself. His statement and His fact give an astute, cherishing standard that will both analyse and refine the internal of individuals. This adage recommends two key considerations. To begin with, the heart will respect no power other than that of God. Dross in metal might be found and expurged by fire, yet evil in the heart can be…

Have you ever experienced cuts and bruises? You may say yes! Do your cuts and bruises amount to something? Do you remember that: “Christ carried the burden of our sins. He was nailed to the cross, so that we would stop sinning and start living right. By his cuts and bruises you are healed. You had wandered away like sheep. Now you have returned to the one who is your shepherd and protector.” (1 Peter 2:24-25 CEV) Yes, by His…

Sadhu Sundar Singh said: “I will never forget the night I was driven out of my home. I slept outdoors under a tree, and the weather was cold. I had never experienced such a thing. I thought to myself: “Yesterday I lived in comfort. Now I am shivering, and I am hungry and thirsty. Yesterday I had everything I needed and more; today I have no shelter, no warm clothes, no food.” Outwardly the night was difficult, but I possessed…

An evildoer gives the note to false lips – Wrongdoers eagerly listen to gossip; liars pay close attention to slander (Proverbs 17:4 NLT). When it comes to lies spoken by false lips, evil people not only spread them, they also receive them. They seem to love to embrace a lie. It is an ill sign of a vicious nature to be apt to believe scandalous reports of godly men. If men loved not lies, they would not listen to them. An…

The stone is of great incentive for you that accept; however for the individuals who don’t believe: The stone which the developers dismissed as useless ended up being the most significant of all. Furthermore, another sacred text says, “This is the stone that will make individuals stumble, the rock that will make them fall.” They staggered because they didn’t trust in the word; such was God’s will for them. Be that as it may, you are the picked race, the…

Chiara Lubich said: “How many people, in error, look at creatures and things in order to possess them! It may be a look of selfishness or of envy, but whatever the case, it is one of sin. Or people may look within their own selves, and be possessive of their own souls, their faces lifeless because they are bored or worried. The soul, because it is an image of God, is love, and love that turns in on itself is…

Take it as a savvy worker. Such will run over a child who causes disgrace (Proverbs 17:2): Normally, a child, should govern; the trust one has in the family is frequently more noteworthy than the trust one has workers. However, should a child cause disgrace, God realises how to supplant that child with a savvy worker. The child has his usual spot, yet God doesn’t consider that to be placed as giving the outright option to lead and may offer…

Have you not heard that through Christ Jesus, we are Israel of God? Yes, you carry God’s blessings all the time. I remind you: “I will be to the people of Israel like rain in a dry land. They will blossom like flowers; they will be firmly rooted like the trees of Lebanon. They will be alive with new growth, and beautiful like olive trees. They will be fragrant like the cedars of Lebanon. Once again, they will live under…

John Lewis said: “When I was growing up on the farm, it was my responsibility to care for the chickens. I used to take the little chickens and put them all together in a chicken yard, and I would preach to these chickens. And some of these chickens would bow their heads, some of these chickens would shake their heads. They never quite said “amen,” but when I looked back on it though, the chickens that I preached to in…
