If you think I am referring to the rock band AC/DC and their megahit ‘Let there be Rock’, you are partly right. The lyrics which plays on Genesis is the creative license they’ve taken (Let there be light, Let there be sound, Let there be drums, Let there be guitar, and of course Let there be Rock) and there is [...]
“Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him, do not fret when people succeed in their ways." Psalms 37:7 This is the struggle that I have been having since the beginning of the circuit breaker “It was like a dream come true, agency life, hard work and a good time to put my skills to good news". However, [...]
What a glorious thing it is to be called and picked by God! Our primary calling from God is to be a child of God, to be a disciple, to make other disciples for the kingdom of God.

The story of Creation presents eternal truths about God and [...]
“When Jesus was baptised, he went up immediately from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and alighting on him.” (Matthew 3:16) “There appeared to them tongues as of fire, distributed and resting on each one of them.
