WHAT RELIGION TAUGHT ME The phrase money is the root of all evil is very popular to a point that there is also a view that the only way to accumulate real wealth is by getting involved in shady deals. As a result wealthy people in some circles are always viewed with suspicion WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS Money is a medium of exchange in this world; it is a resource from God that allows people to obtain what they need to live. There are many things in this world that money can be used for so how can it be the root of all evil?  In Matthew 6 :31 - 33 Jesus tells his audience to stop worrying about material wealth instead they should focus on God and he will provide for their needs. I believe with this scripture Jesus is teaching me to change my perspective on money and treat it as a resource and not the source because God is the source of everything. In other words, I should focus on the creation and not the Creator to stay on in his will. CONCLUSION Money is not the root of evil but my perspecti

WHAT THE WORLD IS TEACHING ME When I Googled what is the most important thing in life a lot of different things come from different sources but almost all agree that relationship with others is the most important thing in a human life. WHAT IS THE BIBLE TEACHING ME: In Mark 8 :37 Jesus asks what could be more valuable than my soul? The soul is defined as a life principle, feeling, thought, and action in humans, regarded as a distinct entity separate from the body. In other words all human actions is decided  in my soul. This the reason God wants to capture my soul God wants me to make Jesus Christ the Lord of my souls. It is through the soul  that human action is driven i.e. it is the engine of my human action.  When I give up my soul to Jesus Christ I am guaranteeing the eternal future of my soul through the salvation that comes with this commandment and I am making it easy for God to use me as a vessel for his purpose and to bless others My relationships with others are valuable but

WHAT RELIGION TAUGHT ME I grew up believing that God’s interested in ensuring that I  live a happy life. I believed that my happiness is a sign of God’s presence in my life. WHAT FAITH IS TEACHING ME  I am a fan of Formula 1 and Lewis Hamilton is my favorite Formula 1 driver at the moment. This weekend was a finale between him and Max Verstappen, unfortunately for me Max won it As a Lewis Hamilton fan this did not go down well with me. The morning before the race I secretly prayed for Lewis Hamilton to win because his win would have made me happy in a very long season where nothing seems to go my way and I was convinced that God will grant me this prayer so I can have some happiness even if it was for a short while. But it was not to be. The outcome of this race really scared me and for a brief moment I doubted my faith because there are other consequential things I am waiting on God for and if he would not deliver on this none consequential outcome then I am in trouble. I even quest

WHAT IS RELIGION TEACHING ME?  Through religion I have always believed that my knowledge and practice of religious rituals completes my love for God.  WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY: Religious practices are man- made and will therefore they will not complete my love for God. In 1 John 2:6 I am taught that when I obey the commands of Jesus Christ and follow his example of how to live life only then does my love for God is made complete. My love for God is made complete when I obey the teachings of Jesus Christ and follow his example on how to live. CONCLUSION: My knowledge and practice of religious rituals does not  complete my love of God but obeying the teachings of Jesus Christ on how to live life makes my love for God complete.

WHAT RELIGION TAUGHT ME I have always seen the Bible as a book of rules for Christians to follow. WHAT THE BIBLE IS TEACHING ME God exists in the spiritual realm and we exist in the natural realm this means with our natural eyes we cannot see or perceive God. In his wisdom God provided us with the Bible so that with the help of the Holy Spirit we can get to know him and to know his character and that knowledge empowers us to have our spiritual eyes opened so we can perceive and experience God. The Kingdom of God is a place in the spiritual realm where everything is under the authority of Jesus Christ. I believe God does not want us to wait for the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ before we experience his Kingdom; he wants us to experience it while we live here on earth. The Bible  guides us on how to live here on earth as if we are in heaven. When we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior we immediately receive the Holy Spirit which enables us to understand the Bible and also helps us im
