Rock of Ages, cleft for me,Let me hide myself in Thee;Let the water and the blood,From Thy wounded side which flowed,Be of sin the double cure,Save from wrath and make me pure. Not the labor of my handsCan fulfill Thy law’s demands;Could my zeal no respite know,Could my tears forever flow,All for sin could not […]
In his autobiography Surprised by Joy, C.S. Lewis brings up a very fascinating analogy that has always stayed with me. Us trying to meet God is like Hamlet trying to meet Shakespeare. No matter where Hamlet looks in his world, he will never find Shakespeare (though he will see evidence of Shakespeare’s personality and character […]
If we are Christians, the Bible encourages, indeed commands, us to live our lives for Christ, even when our values and perspectives are completely counter-cultural, possibly leading to ridicule and contempt. As Christ Himself said, “…but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates […]
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose…What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us […]
The more we trust God, the less we should fear rejection. And the less we fear rejection, the bolder we should be to reach out and try new things for God. As Christians, we are not called to live safe, indecisive lives. No one in the Bible who is praised by God lived a safe, […]
The first few minutes after you wake up can make or break your day. They’re that powerful. So it’s important to be very intentional in how you spend those initial moments after your eyes open. Get it right, and you can build tonnes of momentum to power through all those difficult things you have planned. […]
If you’re anything like me, you might sometimes struggle with how exactly to relax before bed. YouTube videos, TV shows, Instagram, reading a book—none of them feel relaxing enough or use the little relaxation time you have to the max. Even after six years at Oxbridge, I am still struggling with how to spend my […]
Keeping a daily prayer routine is hard. We always have excuses: in the morning we’re too sleepy, in the middle of the day we have no time, and in the evening we just want to relax and head to sleep. I’ve struggled with all of these things. In this blog post I want to share […]
Before my final year of high school, I rarely took any notes at school; just listening to the teacher during class and reading the textbook enabled me to get by. University was, however, a different beast altogether; suddenly I had to take in 100x more knowledge than my brain could remember. For those familiar with […]
One thing I have been training myself to do recently is to follow routines, not emotions. We all have moments where we don’t feel like doing something. And conventional wisdom dictates that we should leave that “something” alone and come back to it when we feel like it, as long as it is not urgent. […]
