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...

Can Christian Women and Girls Wear Sarees or Put Mehendi Drawings on Their Hands?

-
The question of whether Christian women and girls can wear sarees or apply mehendi (henna) designs often arises in cultural and religious discussions. Some believers wonder if these practices align with biblical teachings. To answer this, let’s examine Scripture, cultural contexts, and practical Christian living. 1. Clothing and Modesty in the Bible The Bible does not specify particular garments for Christian women but emphasizes modesty, humility, and godliness in appearance. 1 Timothy 2:9-10 – "I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God." 1 Peter 3:3-4 – "Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is...
