The million-dollar dilemma Christian life is one of learning to know God and recognize Him in our lives. It is growing to grasp the way He works in our life, in our family, in our church, and in our world. Following Christ and intuitively coming to understand the ways He works with us, in us, and around us is true growth in maturity. A disciple of Christ often wrestles with paradoxes that defy logic and sense, Romans 12:1 – present... Read more

Are You Training, Educating, or Schooling Your Child?

Last updated on: July 5, 2025 at 10:26 pm   By Sabina Tagore Immanuel

The beginning  The Book of Proverbs declares, Train up a child in the way he should go: And when he is old, he will not depart from it. To understand this Biblical injunction, it is important to differentiate between schooling, education, learning, and training. We often mix all these up, mistaking one for the other, and in general, end up messing it all up. An clear and concise understanding what these mean will go a long way in helping us raise... Read more

Marriage and warfare Spiritual warfare is part and parcel of a Christian’s life and makeup. Scripture admonishes to stand, after having done all, against the wiles of the enemy. There is one area that must be a priority in prayer for us. It is of utmost importance to guard it from the schemes of the enemy, always. The prime area that needs shielding and covering from spiritual attacks is family and marriage. Family is the basic unit of society, and... Read more

How Are You Making Your Mark

Last updated on: June 20, 2025 at 4:18 pm   By Sabina Tagore Immanuel

Mark left by a king One of my favourite poems is the one entitled Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley. It illustrates the futility of making your mark with the wrong things. The declaration by King Ozymandias in his hey days is so ironical when we compare it with the current reality. The poet well exemplifies the reason for this by contrasting his pompous declaration in the past with what is visible in the present. The pathos of the empty vastness... Read more

Our tendency vs His way We are people who need hard evidence to feel safe and secure. When we get to see money in the bank, cash in hand, provisions in the home, etc., we feel comfort and comfortable. So, when we face times and seasons, we need hard evidence in hand is to feel protected and safe. Yet, that’s not how our God works or seeks to assure.

Fashion sense means having an instinct for how clothes look when worn together. It means that how those clothes can make an outfit both look good on you, and express something about you.

How Ageing Parents and Adult Children Can Bond Together

Last updated on: November 23, 2024 at 11:57 am   By Sabina Tagore Immanuel

The Age-old Problem Ageing parents and adult children seem to find it difficult to bond together or relate to one another as they both age. It seems such a huge task to maintain relationship with one another, and often they drift apart for lack of understanding. Each is ensconced in their own citadels, and many times they’re even unable talk to one another without being at loggerheads with each other. It looks as though there’s no middle ground, or even... Read more
