Movie Review: Touchback

Published on 2012-05-02 18:00:00

Injuries and shattered dreams!The very thought of these obvious spoilers are enough to send shivers down the spine of even the gutsiest of sportsmen. While many athletes have been fortunate enough to recover from their nemesis however long, a lot others have had to call it a day abruptly in surrender!Such is the poignant reminder the sports-themed movie “Touchback”, attempts to reiterate.Touchback chronicles the rough part of life erstwhile high school football star - turned farmer and frust [..] > read more

Movie Review: A young girl called Trinity Goodheart .

Published on 2012-05-01 03:00:00

Wisdom doesn't necessarily allude to age or a wealth of experience. In fact, running a successful business empire or choosing to isolate ourselves from external influences; rarely guarantees that one is wise! Meanwhile scripture drops another "invaluable manna" in 1 Corinthians 1:27. It says: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;In this case,Wisdom finds itself a true [..] > read more

Book Review: Why He Chose The Nails by Max Lucado

Published on 2012-04-20 17:34:00

A recent survey revealed that there exists a good many clergies out there today, who are yet to encounter but, in fact daily struggle with the concept of the Resurrection of Jesus! These "theological scholars" either barely believe in the possibility of its reality or have lost faith in who they believe!But would you dare to upbraid their ignorance or be wary of the subtle encroachment of pseudo-Christian doctrines on the prowl?One can only try to imagine how Mary-the mother of Jesus- would have [..] > read more

Movie Review: JESUS :The simplicity of His Humanity & Divinity.

Published on 2012-04-16 23:00:00

I have been privileged to see a variety of the biblical-drama adaption of the life of Christ over the years. With exceptional mention of "The Passion Of Christ" movie; JESUS -The mini series is another inspirational remake of the biblical story of the Messiah. Unlike previous editions, this GMC TV World premiere attempts to depict the messiah's ordinary life (finally a flick that shows Jesus actually using an hammer), his intimate relationships [both with Joseph his father, and a female companio [..] > read more

Book Review: Restoring Faith, Family & Finances with Henry Fernandez.

Published on 2012-04-12 23:00:00

Simply because you're a person of Faith doesn't validate your view about being affluent!Or else this promise to Abraham would be self-contradictory in every sense of it:"That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;".Nonetheless the definition of success has nothing to do with financial wealth or a secure retirement package.The topsy-turvy [..] > read more

Book Review: The Glory Of God by Guillermo Maldonado.

Published on 2012-04-11 23:12:00

As a Watcher, one can't help but cast a worrisome spectacle at the cause and effect of the incomprehensible wave of spiritual slumber entrapping undiscerning Christians (veteran and fledgling alike)these days!It only brings back memories of the foolish virgins in scripture.The days of seeking God's Presence under the guise of religion -adherence to a set of man-made dogmas which do not guarantee making Heaven- have long gone!Latter day believers ought to be geared up for all the change that Prac [..] > read more

Book Review: Andy Andrews asks - How Do You Kill 11 Million People ?

Published on 2012-04-05 23:23:00

In order to provoke a similar school of thought as did the seasoned author Andy Andrews, in his latest book "How Do You Kill 11 Million People"; When would parents tell their kids that the seasonal Santa Claus is actually a myth(which could pass as a lie or a mere folklore) rather than mold a lifetime of lie into them? Similarly Andy takes a hard line exploring the Scripture passage in st. John8 verse 32: And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.Ironically a lot many do cl [..] > read more

Book Review: FREQUENCY by Eric Parks,& Casey Bankord

Reflecting on the repercussion for the individual misdemeanor of King Uzziah, and Prophet Isaiah in scriptures further triggers a relook at the severity of: "Therefore let anyone who thinks he stands [who feels sure that he has a steadfast mind and is standing firm], take heed lest he fall [into sin]"!Similarly FREQUENCY by Eric Parks, Casey Bankord explores how to discover the right wavelength to sustain our connection in relation to God.Frequency is meant to help discern your own "engine-room" [..] > read more

The life of the shepherd boy David was strolling along nicely within his personal orbit until Prophet Samuel showed up with the anointing Oil! On his Father's porch. Suddenly this unknown psalmist's life took a sharp detour!Life Interrupted by Priscilla Shirer should resonate with anyone like David, or indeed prophet Jonah whose lives were interrupted unannounced.1.Remember the emotions that overwhelmed you the other day when your body temperature led you to discover the positive sign on the pre [..] > read more

BOOK REVIEW: Judy Salisbury's - The Conversation

Published on 2012-02-23 21:27:00

It is possible to read through a chapter of the Old Testament and understand not one jot of the passage! It is equally possible to be a Professor of Divinity and yet have no connection with the person of the Holy Spirit.But it isn't possible to encounter Christ and not want to tell him all our problems. That's if we do recognize His presence!Remember. Just like the Ethiopian Eunuch who read through scriptures but never understood it until Philip showed up.Interestingly,Bible study is packed fill [..] > read more

Topical Review: The Battle of The Bible .

Published on 2012-01-23 21:14:00

We often gloat about our eloquence and bravery at having read through the whole of the Holy Bible in one single year. I’d say, how commendable. Yet, how fresh is this Word in us on a daily basis?Meanwhile without any iota of prejudice or insinuations whatsoever, the evidence of such accomplishment is a far cry from the unfelt impact in our society at large.Beginning from the covert of our family altars to the Chapels; How factual is this verse in Daniel evident in our conversations and relati [..] > read more

Book Review: The Circle Maker by Mark Batterson.

Published on 2012-01-19 00:52:00

Within a typical office setup, it is the norm. Scheduling or circling a pending target area is tenable. In terms of praying through, there are more odds at stake than imagined. This is simply because; even Heaven and hell have vested interest in the outcome of the least of prayer offered!I do appreciate the allusion of the Legend of Honi The Circle Maker to praying specific prayers, from Mark Batterson’s perspective yet, I must say, using such a character –like Balaam of Beth Peor- makes it [..] > read more

Reflections: The eyes of the Spirit .

Published on 2012-01-15 23:00:00

Ignorance, according to the Law is no excuse. Similarly being tactless is a recipe for spiritual casualty. While these two stand a chance of possible recovery, the spiritually blind on the otherhand is a foregone conclusion!A sensitive glance around our secular environment is enough to startle any discerning believer. The global economic quagmire above all other affairs, threatening to sink entire governments and nations in one gulp, is definitely one inescapable headliner. With no water-tight [..] > read more

Book Review: I AM SECOND by Doug Bender &Dave Sterrett.

For too long Samson had lived life at his own pace, on his own terms, and unquestionably so at the expense of the opposition.Ruefully, the day he would finally recover from his delirium, he had hit rock bottom!It is a fact of life that "there's only so far a man could get pushed". Once pushed to the wall with no where else to turn to; He is usually left with no option than to fightback! This holds sway so long the opposition is human.But what happens when Man's opposition is the overwhelming con [..] > read more

DVD Review: Staying PRAYFIT With Jimmy Pena.

Published on 2012-01-02 20:18:00

I have come across loads of justifiable adherents and even obscenely obsessed people whose diets have gone from normal to distressing levels: all in the name of the war against the bulge/bingeing. The resultant outcome is almost always ironic and pathetic.The more they continue ‘religiously’ with their diets or strict exercising regimes, the more the weight they re-pile on every other week!Impulsively, in our obsession for the six-pack and well toned physiques we’ve sauntered along the pat [..] > read more
