Reckless Abandonment
I used to play paintball in a tournament back in University days. In fact, my friends and I were part of a three man team. The style of paintball we played is called speedball. Speedball is set up in a symmetrical field with bunkers and a flag in the middle. Each team starts on opposite […]
Lay down your life
This is a reflection from today’s devotion from Oswald Chamber’s Utmost for His Highest…. A while ago, I had this interesting thought…through the journey of seeking His Kingdom above everything else….I realized all my stuff is His. I sat on my bed.

Devotion: The Passion Of Patience
This is taken from Oswald Chamber’s “My Utmost For His Highest” Devotion: “Though it tarry, wait for it.” Habakkuk 2:3 Patience is not indifference; patience conveys the idea of an immensely strong rock withstanding all onslaughts. The vision of God is the source of patience, because it imparts a moral inspiration. Moses endured, not because […]
Oswald Chambers Devotion: Readiness
