The reflecting theologian

Just before I continue from where I left off last time, I would just want to make a disclaimer here. I am currently not working and I have to admit that I have no much experience in the marketplace. What I am writing here is really a result and reflection of what I have read and studied from the bible and what I have heard from teachings and seminars, together with my own limited experience in the marketplace, namely my school up to now and also what I have heard from people all over the place. We looked into identity and mission last post. Before I actually carry on with the rest of the marketplace reflection, I think we need to know what does it mean to be disciple of Jesus. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit his very self? If anyone is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and in the glory of t...

I have always been interested in learning more about the marketplace and how, as Christian, we can influence the marketplace. I learn quite a fair bit reading books written by Ed Silvoso, Lee Strobel, Henry Blackaby etc. I learned quite a bit also from a recent seminar in my church conducted by Benjamin Pwee. As I look into the theology of the marketplace, I have decided to consolidate my thoughts and post up this for us to relook into the marketplace and what it means for us. First thing we need to look at before seeing where we are and what the marketplace means to us is to first define what is the marketplace. Let's us first take a look at a list of name: These are the twelve he appointed: Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter), James son of Zebedee and his brother John (to them he gave the name Boanerges, which means Sons of Thunder), Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. Why is thi...

In Luke 24:45, it says, "Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures." This happens after Jesus resurrected and appeared in front of the disciples. A similar thing happened before that in Luke 24:32, "They asked each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?" " I was just thinking, today we read the bible but do we open our mind and understand the Scripture? Do we open our eyes 'wide wide' in order to see what God is doing in our lives through the word? I was thinking about it. Sometimes, people leave church for numerous reasons, and one reason is because other people leave church. But when we make our decision according to the decision of other people, I wonder are we really making a sound decision that is based on our understanding of the Scripture? These people can be people who have proclaimed that they want to understand the Scripture. I bring out t...

Who compares to You? Who set the stars in their place? You who calmed the raging seas That came crashing over me Who compares to You? You who bring the morning light The hope of all the earth Is rest assured in Your great love You are magnificent, eternally Wonderful, glorious Jesus No one ever will compare to You Jesus Where the evening fades You call forth songs of joy As the morning wakes We Your children give You praise According to Ravi Zacharias, it is that possession of the mind that enchants the emotions while never surrendering reason. It is a grasp on reality that does not need constant high points in order to be maintained, nor is it made vulnerable by the low points of life's struggle. It sees in the ordinary the extraordinary, and it finds in the extraordinary the reaffirmation for what it already knows. It clasps the spiritual soul and is felt in the material body. It interprets life through the eyes of eternity while enjoying the moment, but never let the momentary v...

Some of you all might know that I am on twitter now. The purpose is so that I can tweet my thoughts as I go on the move and when I am in some more conducive places, I can blog out my thoughts with something I can refer to....
