When Favouritism Breaks a Family

As I was reading this story in the Book of Genesis 27, I had to pause. The more I read about the family of Isaac and Rebekah, the more uncomfortable I felt. It is a difficult story because it reflects something that still happens in many families today. Isaac and Rebekah had twin sons: Esau and Jacob. But instead of raising them as two sons equally loved, the house slowly became divided. Scripture says Isaac loved Esau, while Rebekah loved Jacob. Even the language feels revealing. Isaac often referred to Esau as “my son”, while Rebekah leaned…

When It’s Hot And God Says Stay

As I read Genesis 26, it felt very personal. There was a famine in the land. Things were hard. Resources were low. The pressure was real. Isaac did what most of us would do – he started moving. When things get uncomfortable, we look for relief. When work becomes stressful, we update our CV. When the environment feels unstable, we search for somewhere safer. When the economy shakes, we look for quick investments. Movement feels like control. But before Isaac could go further, God appeared to him and said, “Do not go down to Egypt. Stay in…

From Eden to Jesus: How God Made a Way Back

A few days ago, my oldest child asked me a question that stopped me in my tracks. He and his friends had been studying the idea of sacrifice in the Bible and couldn’t understand why it was necessary in the first place. I gave him a simple answer: Jesus Christ became the sacrifice once and for all. Before Him, every time people sinned, a life had to be taken. I told him to imagine if that was still required today, how heavy and constant that would be. That conversation stayed with me. I’m currently on a personal…

Undiluted Grace: What Does This mean?

This morning, I found myself reflecting on something I’ve often heard in church and gospel songs—“the undiluted grace of God.” And I paused. Can God’s grace be diluted? The answer is no—God’s grace is perfect, full, and freely given. It doesn’t lose its power, purity, or purpose. But here’s the truth I couldn’t ignore: while His grace is undiluted, we can sometimes receive it in a diluted way. When we start to measure grace through the lens of performance, shame, or comparison… when we let legalism or people-pleasing creep in… when we misuse grace as a license…

Skill vs Anointing – Part Two

Is anointing enough to fulfill God’s calling, or do we need skill as well?
