“You have disregarded the commandment of God to keep the tradition of men.” – Mark 7:8

11th June 2025 Jesus exposed the reality of religion in His day: a hollow display of outward piety. The people, led by their religious leaders, meticulously observed rituals—festivals, hand washings, and ceremonial customs—while neglecting the very heart of God’s law. In their zeal to keep human traditions, they ignored the commandments of God.   True devotion […]

“…Beware of the Leaven of the Pharisees and of Herod.” – Mark 8:15

17th June 2025 In Scripture, leaven often represents sin that silently spreads and corrupts. Jesus warned His disciples to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of Herod.

Herod,

20th June 2025 At the height of His popularity, as crowds flocked to Him for healing and wisdom, Jesus shared a truth that stunned His disciples.

“…Get behind Me, Satan! For you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.” – Mark 8:33

21st June 2025 When Jesus first foretold His coming death, it came as a shock to His disciples. This was not the glorious future they had imagined for their beloved Master—or for themselves. Peter, ever the outspoken leader, voiced his dismay. But Jesus rebuked him, because though Peter’s intentions seemed loving, they were contrary to

22nd June 2025 Jesus was willing to forsake His own comfort to fulfill the will of the Father and accomplish the great work of redemption through the cross. But Peter, like many of us, had other plans — plans shaped by self-promotion and self-preservation. Jesus made it clear to Peter, the disciples, and the crowds

24th June 2025 From the day you were born a lifelong journey began,  As you took little steps to excel as best as you can.  On foundations laid in books, schoolrooms and exams,  You rose in stature, to applause and clapping hands.    The day came when you could stand on your own two feet,

“If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him…” – Mark 8:38

25th June 2025 We live in an age where faith in the living God is often ridiculed, and where speaking of sin and repentance invites hostility. Though the claims of God’s opponents crumble under serious reflection, we still hesitate to declare our faith. Fear of offending others, or of shame and abuse, keeps many believers
