Did you know that the words for vain and vanity both come from the Latin word “vanus” meaning “empty” or “without substance.” We could also use words like “void” or “pointless” or “vacant.” Each of these definitions convey a similar meaning—that something has been wasted. It could be a waste of time, a waste ofContinue reading “In Vain and In Vanity”

Hello everyone, Recently, I read through Isaiah and really enjoyed it. So I just wanted to share some of the things I read! On another note, this is my first post in a while that is going directly into a text head-on instead of a topical piece so I am going back a bit toContinue reading “How Beautiful Are the Feet of Those Who Bring Good News”

Some of you may be surprised to hear this but despite my often relaxed demeanor, something that I do occasionally struggle with is being quick to anger. I am not always the most patient person and when it things such as long wait times, slow drivers, dysfunctional technology, video games, and unhelpful support lines, myContinue reading “On Anger”

Over this last season, one thing that I’ve found myself occasionally struggling with is the sin of comparison. And while comparison in itself may not necessarily be a sin, I’ve found that the dangers of it are unmistakable. In this social-media-driven era, it is so easy to be swayed by others’ highlights and perceive themContinue reading “On Jealousy”

Hello everyone, Now that I’ve gotten COVID-19. It’s given me an opportunity to have some time to write about some of the recent reflections I’ve had over the past few days.

You just want someone to affirm to you that your life is so hard. You want to be pitied, to be validated, to prove to yourselfContinue reading “Poor Poor Pitiful me”

They would be given the ‘birthright,’ meaning that they’d inherit their father’s position as head of the household and also receive a double portion of their father’s inheritance (Deut 21:17). However, while looking at the people that God selects to be his chosenContinue reading “Inheritance by Faith”

In a world where there are so many clashing and contrasting opinions, knowing God’s word has become something of utmost importance. How can we possibly engage with the world and be confident in our faith if we aren’t even sure ourselves what we believe? That’s why today, I’d like to take a look at twoContinue reading “Did God Really Say…?”

If you’re familiar with the book of Proverbs, one thing you’ll notice is the ‘self-destructive nature’ of sin. What the writer of Proverbs wants you to know is that while others will be negatively affected by your sin, you will be the one who will bear the greatest consequence—the destruction of yourself. Note: this won’tContinue reading “The Self-destructive Nature of Sin”

So lately, I’ve been hearing from a lot of friends on the topics of breakups, rejections, and other circumstances which just haven’t really worked out, in one way or another.
