Are You ‘In Time’ For Spiritual Enquiry?“In Time” (2011) is a motion picture dealing with the currency of time in a world where you earn time and spend it – run out of time and you’re dead. Time is a concept hedged in morality; it is the ultimate thing speaking for life and death. Being ‘in time’ is a decision we make each moment – it’s contingent on our spiritual enquiry. If we’re not interested in such enquiry, God will not give us life. But if we are, God will not rest until we have life, and have it abundantly (John 10:10).
Hate Is Hell, Love Is HeavenLove is a force, and hate is an absence of that force. Hate is not a force at all, but just a default to fear. Understand, ultimately love creates what is desired in every way. From productive inventions to good thoughts and actions, love of life and existence is power.

Let’s Fully Express OurselvesIn writing this article I’m expressing myself. Then if I get up for a break to go and get a cup of tea, I’m expressing myself the whole time from getting up, walking to the kitchen, filling the kettle with water and starting it, getting a tea bag and putting it into the teapot, taking a mug from the cupboard, pouring the boiling water into the teapot, waiting for the tea to steep, pouring the tea into my mug and then adding milk I’ve taken from the refrigerator and then walking back to my computer with the tea. While doing all of this I’ve done nothing other than express myself and even my brain has been operating by thinking, but there again that’s myself expressing through my thoughts.

Jesus and the Hourglass ParadoxWhen we play Pictionary, using the tiny plastic hourglass, we quickly find the bottom-half full of sand and the top portion empty when time is up. As our time dries up, the bottom-half is symbolically full with sand – representing both our transgressions and the forgiveness of God for the repentance we enacted right up until the final day. The top portion might represent the unrepentant sinner; not a transgression visible to their eye or worthy of repenting of, nor the forgiveness of God.
The Prayer of Confession and DeclarationThe prayer of confession and declaration recalls a golden truth; our living God has absolute dominion. When we pray we enlist not the least of the LORD’S entire realm. The irony of this power is it’s greatest when we’re weakest.
Psalm 62 – For God Alone, I WaitThe psalmist, David, has abided in a solemn oath of responsibility and faithfulness – to nurture a sole focus on the LORD during temptation to wilt, seemingly in the throes of ongoing ambush and the subject of heinous revelry by his enemies. Likewise, we can relate with David’s struggle. Temptations abound in all our lives, whether by betrayal, unforgiving attitudes, to engage in substances or activities of unhealthy dependence, or by our own inferiorities – and then some. What we learn here, from David, is the art of refocusing – and implicitly waiting – on the LORD.
