Have you not heard that the real question is not about making the right choice? Instead, it’s about making a choice and making it suitable! Suitable choices? Chains get corroded. Possibly they need some relieving oil and all that will run efficiently, or they need a game-change. There is no compelling reason to get forceful neither to oneself nor to other people. We need the correct choice and fitting activity. Some views amplify that there is no right decision in…
1. “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.” 2. “The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.” 3. “And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.” 4. “Choosing rather be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures…

Have you not heard that the choice you make tomorrow turns to make you tomorrow? Roy Bennett said: “Attitude is a choice. Happiness is a choice. Optimism is a choice. Kindness is a choice. Giving is a choice. Respect is a choice. Whatever choice you make makes you. Choose wisely.” You always have a choice to make: “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is…
1. “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” 2. “In peace, I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.” 3. “And the effect of righteousness will be peace and the result of righteousness, quietness and trust forever.” 4. “Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand…
Have you not heard that peace is extraordinarily full of meaning? Yes, with Jesus Christ, we remain uninjured and safe, whole and sound! The peace from Jesus Christ is entirely multidimensional, detailed well-being — physical, psychological, social, and spiritual; it flows from all of one’s relationships being put right — with God, with(in) oneself, and with others. Meaning, only God can create shalom (Isaiah 45:7), and this gift will come through the work of the Messiah, the Prince of shalom (Isaiah 9:6–7). Therefore, shalom is perhaps the…
Dorothy Sayers said: “He assaulted indignant tradesmen and threw them and their belongings out of the Temple; he drove a coach-and-horses through a number of sacrosanct and hoary regulations; he cured diseases by any means that came handy, with a shocking casualness in the matter of other people’s pigs and property; he showed no proper deference for wealth or social position; when confronted with neat dialectical traps, he displayed paradoxical humor that affronted serious-minded people, and he retorted by asking…
1. “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do, and greater works than these will he do because I am going to the Father.” 2. “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way,…
What a narrative? Listen to this: “Jesus replied, The work of God is this: to believe in the One He has sent.” (John 6:29 BSB). Yes, Jesus talks about “work,” viewing particularly about faith in HIM. His own works (John 5:36) made one complete work (John 17:4). They had one incredible work to do, which to be sure appeared not to work, but rather which when acknowledged would be the living rule of each piece and would be as food…
Søren Kierkegaard said: “Only a person of will can become a Christian; for only a person of will has a will that can be broken. But a person of will whose will is broken by God is a Christian. The stronger the natural will, the deeper the break can be, and the better the Christian. This is what has been described by the expressive phrase: the new obedience. A Christian is a person of will who no longer wills his…
