The Idea of Perfection
Perfection is something we all strive for. Perfect hair, perfect clothes, perfect life. Yet, it is something we fail to reach over and over again. We compare ourselves to others, setting standards we cannot hope to attain because we think they’ve reached perfection and, therefore, so can we. But it’s all a lie! Just because…

Mindset + Faith = Freedom
In my last post I focused on the future, on the habits which will shape who we become. I stand by what I said because I truly believe it is in the process of becoming who we want to be that we become who we should be. I said then that the future seemed dark…

Where is God in this world of suffering?
This world is challenging; there is no doubt about it. The news is constantly declaring war and chaos. Positivity is at an all-time low. For many out there, it leaves questions like ‘Where is God?’ and ‘Why isn’t He doing anything?’ Even Christians doubt if God is doing anything at times. Recently, a friend asked…

Forgiveness: What You Need To Know
The concept of forgiveness is something we all struggle with, especially as Christians. We often question whether God truly forgives us, and when we inevitably sin again, we may try to hide from Him, thinking there’s no way He could forgive us again.

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…

Proverbs 31: Warnings and Advice for Godly Men
As promised, I give you Proverbs 31: Man version. Of all thirty-one, I picked out eight verses that guys need to reflect on. We’re starting off with verse 3: ‘Do not spend your strength on women, your vigour on those who ruin kings.’ In some versions, strength is replaced by wealth or energy and vigour…

Proverbs 31: Characteristics of a Godly Woman
This was probably expected at some point; after all, every woman looks to Proverbs 31 at various points in their life for guidance and to be reminded of the values God wants us to live out. What I like most about it is that it isn’t just about women but men too. I will agree…

God’s Character: What it means for our lives.
In a previous blog post, I mentioned some of God’s character. We know He is our Heavenly Father (Galatians 1:1) and Creator (Genesis 1:1) of us and our world, but who is He? I wanted to take the opportunity to go deeper into His character better understand our Creator. He is good. “No one is…
