"Then God said, 'Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.'" (Genesis 1:26 NIV). Something that strikes me in the above verse is how God made it clear to us in the very beginning that He existed as a self-sufficient community. It is not by accident that the pronoun “us” is used instead of “me” and points directly to God as the Holy Trinity. What is more, we are created in His image, which means we are three persons in one.

 “But Jesus said, ‘Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a beautiful thing to me.’” (Mark 14:6 ESV)
I find this verse in the account of the woman anointing Jesus’ feet with expensive perfume interesting. There was a lot going on at this time in Jesus’ ministry. He knew that His life was coming to an end, and He was trying to prepare His followers for what was going to happen.

In 2007 a ministry appointment in a London Church taught me a lesson that remains valuable and changed my perspective on what the Apostle Paul means when he says, “I am poured out for the sake of the Kingdom” (2 Tim 4:6). God indeed requires...

By Marthe Badibanga “God is good, all the time. And all the time, God is good.” As you recite that, do you really believe that right now? You know it to be true, as a believer, but right now, do you feel that way? Where are you...

"Cast all your anxiety on Him because he cares for you." (1 Peter 5:7 NIV) There are any number of thoughts that run through my head in a day that induce a feeling of anxiety. For some, anxiety is not only an emotion brought about by...

I remember watching ‘Back To The Future’ as a kid thinking, "Oh, how I wish I had a flux capacitor!” If you have not seen this movie, stop reading this and go watch it (you’re welcome). If you have seen the movie, then you are...
