A reflexion the day after the Pandemic of Covit-19 was declared How did you feel, waking up the next morning after hearing of Covit-19? I, personally, did not believe that it would break the world system that much. I trust in the science and technology and never thought that it would handicap us that much. The mothers felt helpless to protect their children. The fathers can't make things happen to brighten the day for their family. The Priest or the Pastor hopelessly wants to reassure his flock. The twenty first century individual has lost enlightenment and asks - where is the science? where is the technology? Today a small virus has brought the whole world to its knees. We are helpless. Has God abandoned US? Life is here for a moment and then it's gone. Then the only thing that abides is: What does God think of you? God gives us Eternity Always live with a perspective of eternity. Jesus can be your personal saviour. God creates and God communes with man. Time is the keyhole ...

How confident are you that you are saved ? “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” (Eph. 2:8-10, ESV) Paul is speaking to the Ephesus Church and telling them how they are saved and why they have been saved. A few words that needs to be explained and interpreted in the context of Paul's writing.  The Oxford dictionary definition for the noun “grace” is unmerited favour; the verb “to save” is to rescue someone from harm; the noun “faith” is a state of having complete trust in someone and finally the plural noun “works” is a set of activities involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a purpose. There are two responses that Paul is developing in his thesis; they are salvation and good works. Paul starts each sentence in Ephesi...

Creation  Today I went to the Oxford Natural Museum. It is the second most visited museum in the world and have 750,000 visitors every year. It contains millions of species. ( About | Oxford University Museum of Natural History ) I was fascinated at the beauty of creation and the efforts the founders of this museum have put together to remind all the visitors of the beauty of creation. Over 100 years, men had taken care of the memory of these animals and it gives so much pleasure for children and adults to see so much species and appreciate the beauty of creation just like in the Garden of Eden. Well, yes, the Garden of Eden was created by God. Did you know that on day 3, God created the right ecosystem and God filled that space with animals, including man on day 6. Such beauty must have design and purpose.  When I left the museum today, I was quite sad. I agree that there has been so much work put into this museum but would you not agree that it is incomplete without its Cr...

The Passion of Christ Why did Jesus die such a gruesome death publicly? Why did He stay in the grave for 3 days? According to Mosaic Law, the lamb to be sacrificed at Passover must stay in the temple for 4 days, in order for the lamb to be inspected by the priests because the lamb to be sacrificed for Passover had to be blameless.  Exodus 12:3 Tell all the congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month every man shall take a lamb according to their fathers' houses, a lamb for a household. Exodus 12:5  Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats,  Exodus 12:6  and you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month, when the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill their lambs at twilight.  Jesus followed the Law and he stayed in the temple for 4 days before He was arrested.  Did you know that Jesus died on Thursday, 14th of the month of Nissan because, as Luke said,...

La Passion de Christ Pourquoi autant de Souffrance ? Pourquoi 3 jours dans le tombeau ?
