Rarely do we consider the effect the things we do will have on our soul. Generally the things that happen have a long lasting effect on our soul. Caring for the soul is something we all want but fail to understand how to go about it. Thank God we can go to Jesus who can deliver the tormented soul.

Wouldn’t it be great if when we heard something the first time we instantly got it. How many jokes would we get and laugh at the right time, how many friends would we have, how much more would we actually know. Yet the older we get the more we have to be told time and time again. This is also true in our Christian walk. What we will learn is that god is a patient teacher, waiting for his students to receive his teaching and ready to pick up from where they dropped off.

Many look for fulfilment in the material things they posses. Only to become bored like a little child with the very things they worked hard to have. The reason for this is deeper than we realise. In this segment we answer the question, what makes a good God good? The simple answer is desiring not what we want but rather what we need.

The general approach to life is many times very casual. We try doing the least possible in order to achieve what we want. The problem with this approach is that god is always challenging us to go to the next level. If you are going to be and stay a Christian, you are going to have to learn to leave your comfort zone and go to the next level.

We are living in an argumentative generation. Never before have we needed to explain or rationalise every decision we make. Truth is, God is not appose to an argument, disagreement or dispute. Question is, are you up for the fight? Will you stay in the fight long enough to feel Gods touch?

It can be very easy today to hide your true identity. With a rise in social media, we can project the best image of ourselves, even photoshop the things we don’t like. Life as an imposter is never easy and truth is, you always get caught. God offers the opportunity of a life time, be clothed in Him and everything He represents.

Life is full of ups and downs. Being a Christian does not make us exempt from those realities. We can take comfort in reading about how the mighty men of God can face real lows but not be removed from the will of God. Our challenge is to stay focus on what God wants for our lives.

There is nothing like being tested by life’s circumstances. Jesus uses this parable of the Good Samaritan to check the hearts of the hearers. We are challenged to find out, is there any good in me? And if so, what am I doing with the good God has put in me?

In every diet we have a cheat day, these act as little compromises for our hard work through out the week. Truth is spiritually, our compromises will be our downfalls. Jesus challenges us to deal with every area of our lives so we would live lives as over comers. This requires an attitude of ‘no compromise’

Have you ever been the last person picked for a team? Maybe family or friends forgot your birthday. Truth is we have all felt the sting of being abandoned. Yet we serve a God who sympathises, having felt abandoned himself on the cross. Yet Jesus reminds us that despite that pain, he will not leave us as orphans.
