Two Keys To The Fear Of The Lord

-

In Proverbs 22:4, we discover two important Keys. 
"Humility and the fear of the lord bring honor, wealth, and life."
This verse contains an awesome promise! What could you desire that is not contained in this promise? Think about how our society seeks after honor, wealth, and life. Yet, God promised to give this to us but there is a catch. The way to the promise is guarded by two conditions: first-humility, second-the fear of the Lord. These twin towers of the godly character hold open the door through which the blessings of God flow into our lives.
The fear of the Lord is the attitude that results from remembering that God is watching every action, weighing every motive, and aware of every thought. Our goal should be love the Lord in such a manner as not to want to disappoint Him, but rather to bring Him delight.

Sebastopol SSS: Learning for Life

-
Reflecting on my college years at Sebastopol SSS, where our motto was "Learn for Life," I can’t help but smile at the memories that flood my mind. Those formative years were filled with laughter, learning, and friendships that shaped my life in ways I am still discovering today. Education That Extended Beyond the Classroom At Sebastopol, education was a vibrant tapestry woven with the threads of knowledge and life lessons. I can still picture Miss Sheilani, our spirited French teacher, who not only taught us the intricacies of the language but also introduced us to the magical world of Harry Potter. I remember how she organized a movie day where we all gathered to watch the first film. The excitement was palpable, and to this day, I still find joy in revisiting the saga that first captivated us through her enthusiasm. Respecting Life and Each Other Miss Jaya, our biology teacher, was another guiding light. Her lessons were rich with insights about life and the importance of r...

Soul Ties and the Dangers of Multiple Sexual Partners

In today’s world, the concept of casual relationships and multiple sexual partners is often celebrated. However, the Bible offers a deeper understanding of sexual intimacy, revealing the spiritual connections—often called "soul ties" —that are formed with each sexual encounter. These ties can leave individuals vulnerable to emotional, spiritual, and even physical consequences. Understanding Soul Ties In the Bible, sexual union is much more than a physical act. It is an intimate connection that binds two people together at the soul level. Genesis 2:24 speaks of this union:  "Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." This "one flesh" connection represents a deep, indivisible bond, something that transcends mere physical closeness and touches the very soul of both individuals. When someone engages in sexual relations with multiple partners, it creates multiple soul ties. Each ti...

18 Days Since Dubai… and Grateful for the Lessons

-
It’s already been 18 days since I returned from my short vacation in Dubai, and I’m still so thankful for the memories made. The trip was refreshing, exciting, and filled with moments that reminded me how beautiful life can be when you step away for a while. But coming back taught me a different kind of lesson. Instead of being met with happiness from some family members or close ones, I was faced with silence, jealousy, and even comments like, “You’re wasting money,”—as if it was theirs to begin with. That kind of negativity could’ve easily dimmed my joy… but it didn’t. Because the most unexpected people—strangers, customers, and true friends—were the ones who smiled, cheered me on, asked about the trip, and even said, “Wishing you more travels ahead,” and “God bless you.” That genuine love touched me deeply. It reminded me of a powerful truth: Sometimes, it’s the people you least expect who wish you well… and the ones you call your own who secretly wish your downfall. But guess what?...
