The Power of Gentleness
I was inspired recently by the verse below, and it made me think about how often we respond in a sarcastic tone when we are unhappy or worse, shout and insult. We are by no means perfect beings, but shouldn’t we be striving to be? Sure, we cannot be perfect because of sin, but Jesus…

Down Memory Lane
I found my childhood bible the other day from when I was in primary school. I don’t remember using it much, but I found some writing and a long-forgotten bookmark when I opened it. The bookmark I found in Philippians where I was either reading the end of chapter 2 or the beginning of chapter…
