You are a coach! Weird to say, right? Especially when you’ve probably never trained a sports team or given out licensed advice. The Cambridge Dictionary defines a coach as someone hired to teach people to improve in a specific discipline or subject. You may have never coached for a company or group, but you have… Continue reading The Coach
Did you know that you can watch scripture? Of course, engaging with the Bible through reading is still the best way to learn about God’s teachings, but it need not be the only way. There’s a reason why some of the best-selling books have been adapted into movies: it gives us a different lens through… Continue reading Watching Scripture
In the darkness, a light shines out. In the silence, an angel’s shout. “I bring you good news, great joy for all.” To their knees, the shepherds did fall. “Today in David‘s town, a Saviour is born”. The angel declares as heaven’s veil is torn. “He is the Messiah. He is the Lord.” Heavenly voices… Continue reading Luk 2v10-11 – I bring you good news
The gospels promise us the hope of good news in our trials. However, sometimes the ‘space in between’ makes it hard always to believe. There will always be moments when we are worried about something we are waiting for. Sometimes, the news may not be ‘good’ from our perspective. However, even then, this is not… Continue reading Heb 13v5 – It will be good news
“Should I start writing Gospel Bites?” was the question I wrestled with. “Where will I get the inspiration? I don’t travel enough to write adventure lessons, and I haven’t studied the Bible enough to share Biblical themes.” I limited myself based on my perceptions. A few months and several Gospel Bites later, and my perspective… Continue reading Mat 5v14-16 – The Christ lens

This wonderful message shared two thousand years ago is as true and as needed today as it was then. It’s an invitation… Continue reading Act 14v15 – Good News Day
When you open your mouth, what comes out? Gos… How would you finish this word? It makes a huge difference. Gos…sip or Gos…pel. When the words are spoken, they both may have the same sweet taste in the mouth. Gossip – Did you hear what Tanya said to her friends? Gospel – Did you hear… Continue reading Pro 18v21 – Gossip or Gospel
I’m sitting in an aeroplane, and outside, rain lashes the window while cargo handlers scurry around, bracing themselves against the wind and rain. The weather has been like this for weeks, and it seems it will never change. The thrust of the aircraft’s engines pulls me from my reverie and moments later, we are powering… Continue reading 1Co 15v52 – In a moment
“$100,000 Reward offered’”. The offer of a monetary reward will motivate most people to do whatever is needed to claim the reward. In fact, most things in life are connected to rewards. You train to run a marathon and get rewarded with a medal. You study for a degree and get rewarded with a degree… Continue reading Gen 15v1 – Our reward
Someone recently told me how they were really busy preparing for a meeting. However, it didn’t matter how much they prepared; what they had to share was not good news. They could use whatever graphs, pictures, and stories they liked, but the bad news would still be bad. Isn’t this how life can also be?… Continue reading Luk 2v10-11 – Good news
