Simplicity as Trust: Letting Go of Control
Week 21
Matthew 6:33 comes at the end of a powerful teaching from Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount. He begins this particular session by reminding us not to store up treasures on earth, because earthly things do not last…
Simplicity in Daily Living: Creating Space for God
Week 20
Reading Epistle to the Hebrews 12:1 was the push I needed today.
We have been facing difficult days. Health and work-related issues have weighed heavily on us, but I also need to confess that lately my mind has become a particular battlefield. I have been more introspective than usual.
Mary and Martha: Choosing What Matters Most in a Distracted World
Week 19
During our weekly Bible Study early this year, my 5-year-old daughter, Beulah, was asked to take the opening prayer. She obliged, and began, “Father, thank You for helping us to come to study. Please help Mummy not to fall asleep today, because she always sleeps during study ″. Everyone laughed, including me.
Simplicity of the Heart: Undivided Devotion
Week 18
A university student once shared how hard it had become to concentrate during prayer and Bible study. Anytime she wanted to spend time with God, her mind would quickly move to assignments, messages on her phone, plans, and worries about succeeding in life. Even while praying, she was already thinking about the next thing to do.
Living Out the Word You Study
Week 16
Studying the Word of God is not just another form of learning. It is a spiritual discipline that shapes how we think, live, and relate with God. Yet, it is possible to spend time in Scripture and still miss its main purpose if it does not move us to action…
A Teachable Heart Shaped by God’s Word in Everyday Work
Week 15
A teachable heart does not grow by accident. It is formed with intention, and for the believer, it starts with studying God’s Word. Proverbs 18:15 reminds us that wisdom is something we go after. It does not come passively…
Growing in Faith Through Study: A Discipline for Spiritual Maturity
Week 14
When we look carefully at the teaching of Scripture, we realise that spiritual growth does not happen automatically. Time, by itself, does not produce maturity. It simply reveals whether there is genuine commitment to the truth God has already given.
The author of Hebrews offers a direct warning. People who should have progressed are still at an early stage…
How Fasting Builds Patience, Humility, and Emotional Self-Control
Week 11
Fasting is more than missing meals. It is a quiet discipline that shapes the heart. The writer of Hebrews reminds us:
“No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.”
— Hebrews 12:11
Prayer for Focus: How to Train Your Heart and Mind to Stay Present
Week 7
For a long time, I felt like I was failing at prayer. I just couldn’t get it right. How do people pray for hours? I get bored quickly, and using words I don’t normally use feels uncomfortable. I believe God knows me and what I need, so He would also know if I’m being fake or just putting on a show…
Prayer as Resistance to Hurry and Burnout
Week 6
“Hurry is not of the devil; hurry is the devil,” goes the famous quote attributed to psychologist Carl Jung. While we believe that the Devil does exist as a spiritual being, I am certain that busyness and hurry are among his main strategies to prevent Christians from growing spiritually and living out God’s purposes in their everyday lives. C.S. Lewis writes about this in “The Screwtape Letters,” where he imagines a dialogue between two demons…
