Blazing with Rach!

 Like countless Christians who have heard Ravi Zacharias (RZ) speak, read his books, quoted his words, I too was taken by surprise at the scandal that ensued after his death.  I was surprised by the deception that surrounded RZ than by the fall from the grace of God especially when I have heard that he travelled only with male staff to his international meetings.  Let us face this - we all step out of God's grace once awhile, sometimes more than necessary.  His love and forgiveness draws us back to HIm.  The investigation report makes it clear of RZ's many quiet moments where sexual misconduct could have happened. Coming from a military background, my ears have been assaulted by curse-words  and with sentences punctuated by expletives often enough.  In my uniform, I would stand and take such expressions coming from mostly male soldiers of different ranks as "normal".  I learnt at an early age that men enjoyed the beauty of women, fantasized about...

As I write this post, I am extremely aware that you, the reader might disagree with me over the hypocrisies listed below.  I am aware that I might lose some friends over this particular post.  But I am compelled to write as I need to be faithful to what God has spoken to me during my prayer time. So, with this understanding and the encouragement that I have received from Proverbs 12:22, I write.   My hope is that you do not assume the following: 1. That I am denying the existence of the covid virus 2. That I am against all vaccinations 3.  That I do not care about death Instead, I want you to know that I think: 1.  Covid virus exists but I consider it a little thing due to the 99% recovery rate. 2.  I have taken other vaccinations that has ensured that I will not be re-infected.  Covid vaccine has no such re-assurances.  3.  I care about every dying soul regardless of how they might have died - abortion (womb terrorism), cancer, jihadism, co...

I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God  that was given you in Christ Jesus.                                                                                 - 1 Corinthians 1:4 The discussion ...

  Well, I guess no one would think of abortion as womb terrorism.  I have been thinking much about why it should be termed as womb terrorism. photo credit: Aswinth Chembath First of all, let me state my position as a Christian.  I believe in the sanctity of life .  I believe that God values each life and has a great purpose for each life. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” (Genesis 1: 27)   What an  honour to be created in the image of God and this happens but the first man and first woman made a mistake to disobey God and fell away from God's grace and favour.  This separation continues to the current generation and this fall is deep enough into the pit that the only possible rescue will be to reach out to the outstretched hands of the Lord Jesus Christ.  Even as He extends His hands, we too, as a fallen person need to reach out to grasp His hands.   photo cred...

On the very first and second and fifth days of 2021, I received financial gifts that put a smile on my face.  All were sent with love and good wishes.  God bless the givers! On the sixth day of 2021, I was actually surprised that I could send some funds to a team-mate.  Imagine, I have been trying to use various means to send these funds in 2020 but each time, the huge transfer fee or restrictions by the agency / bank disallowed this necessary activity.  It was a good breakthrough which the sender and the receiver enjoyed.  God blessed us both. On the tenth day of 2021, I surprised myself by choosing to drop various platforms of communication! There you go! WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and Instagram is conveniently out of my life.  Instead, I chose to adopt Telegram and Signal as my main quick way of communication.  I...
