Rick Warren says, “Don’t confuse your self-worth with your net worth. Your value is not determined by your valuables.” How true this is. Our value isn’t tied to things.

THE COST OF FAITH
In the words of Pastor Martin Luther King Jr., “There are some things so dear, some things so precious, some things so eternally true, that they are worth dying for…” One way of defining value is usage or benefit. We value something based on how important the benefits are to us. Another way of definingContinue reading “THE COST OF FAITH”
Priceless Nevertheless
A painting by Pablo Picasso recently set a new world record for the most expensive artwork to be sold at auction after selling for $179m (£115m) in New York.

The Cost of Greatness
There is often a cost associated with a miracle. Mary carried a miracle in her belly. No other woman in history had the distinction of birthing the Son of God. It was a one-time event in history.

World's Greatest Problem
If I told you to name man’s greatest problem many would probably say Satan. Some would mention sin, death, sickness or even pain. What if I told you that insecurity is the greatest problem of human kind? In fact, the insecurity problem is older than humans themselves. Insecurity gunned down Satan, a host of angels as well as ourContinue reading “World's Greatest Problem”
If Tomorrow Never Comes
I have always wondered why most of us leave until late to do nice things to people that matter to us. It amazes me how we may struggle to say a simple word like “thank you” to some one but once same one is deceased we find easy to lavish every sweet word in ourContinue reading “If Tomorrow Never Comes”
