Aug 28th, 2021: Deceitful Tongues


 

Have you got one of those scam phone calls telling you that the CRA (Canada) or the IRS (USA) is about to arrest you for tax fraud? I usually don't talk to these people and hang up. Well, I decided to entertain one of those calls a couple of weeks ago to see how they would handle it.


The voice at the other sounded very stern with a very distinct accent from a region of the world that I know many people from there. He used all of the terminologies that we don't usually use in Canada. He had no idea that CRA usually communicates via email when it comes to serious matters. We don't just put people in jail without due process. He got very agitated with me and threatened me that he is going to arrest me. I wished him luck as he plans to travel to Canada to do that with all of the Covid-19 restrictions.


Sometimes our politicians sound like that. They make claims that they cannot back up. They only talk about women's issues because they want to buy votes. They try very hard to sound sincere while knowing they have no desire to do whatever they are talking about to us. That is how they show contempt to voters because they think we are ignorant and unaware. They want to create fears so that we can give them what be they need to abuse us. When the conversations are getting hard, they either hand up or shut people down. 


So if you get one of the phone calls from candidates in this coming election in Canada, study the issues that concern you and ask them for their honest answers. Just in case you miss it, our PM in Canada last week proudly proclaimed that he doesn't think about "Monetary Policy." Somehow he should be able to avoid the consequences of bad financial management. Well, at least I now have no doubts about what he means when he says: "We are in this together."


1 Peter 3: 10

"Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech."

Aug 31st, 2024: Confession

Image
Dealing with pain sometimes affects our ability and flexibility. A physiotherapist friend gave me a set of home exercises to help with that. They are simple yet intense at the same time. Dealing with our human brokenness sometimes affects our ability to see and hear God. Our commitment to spiritual disciplines must be at the core of our relationship with God. One of the disciplines I have been trying to embrace more fully is confession. It’s not just about recognizing where we have gone wrong; it’s about how we have chosen to live our lives independently from God. It’s about whether we truly want God to be part of our lives. The absence of meaningful confession will damage our freedom to experience intimacy with God. "Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy." - Proverbs 28:13

Sept 4th, 2024: Praying in Images

Image
It has been a rough few days. Living in immense pain does not allow us much energy to think about anything. I ended up praying in images, and not many words came out of my mouth. Most of the images were of people I know. God knew that I was praying for them as their faces came to my mind. I did not need to mention the circumstances or situations of their lives—He knows. My heart was at peace as I ended my days with these images. He will take care of my body, and I know this because I was able to get some sleep. Tomorrow is in His hands.

Oct 1st, 2022: Be With Those Who Suffer

  Listening to a young woman who shared her experience of being raped repeatedly by a family member for over four years as a teenager made my heart ache. The man who did that was a leader of a church. He was imprisoned for seven months and released. He was her stepfather. Her mother chose to pick him over her after his release. Her life has changed forever. She had to go to a foster home. Her foster parents helped her with her restoration and her faith in God. Her supervisor at work asked me to see her because someone at work was inappropriate toward her. That triggered many emotions within her. I did not expect the story I heard from her. The meeting took longer than I thought, and it was toward the end of the day. She kept talking about her anger and the pain she felt when men treated her like a subject. I knew that the best I could do was to listen. She told me she had not been able to tell anyone as much as with me. God reminded me of the true calling of being a pastor.
