We have all received and presented offers in our lives. On a day-to-day basis, we may have offered to open the door for someone, carried a bag of groceries, or shared a cab ride. We have also been at the other end, receiving an offer that we may or may not have accepted. It is […]
After Jesus delivered his famous Sermon on the Mount, he came down from the mountain with a multitude of followers (Mt. 7:28-29). The gravity of his authoritative speech astonished the people because he spoke to them with soul-penetrating power. He was not like the religious leaders of their day – the Scribes and Pharisees – […]
“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will […]
The great thing about God is that He doesn’t qualify which requests are important and more urgent and which are not. He pays attention to each and every one and encourages us to do the same for others as well. He wants us to pray not just regarding our own needs but also the needs […]
Making requests not only applies in our work and home environments, it is also relevant in our relationship with God. Every day we pray and thank God for a day well spent, and then we ask Him for things that we want or need to happen in our lives. We usually ask for a sign […]
In an ideal world, our objectives and goals get accomplished as planned. Unfortunately, there are delays and hurdles that we go through before we get to that stage of success. Things may not be moving as fast and as effective as we would like them to be. Because of this, in a work environment for […]
Your words produce not just action, but action that leads to life and death. A declaration said out of anger or bitterness can have dire consequences. A promise said in love will surely bring about hope and joy. We see examples of these in our daily lives, to the people around us. It’s not so […]
H. Robins, well-renowned linguist and author of General Linguistics: An Introductory Survey, cites 3,000 B. C. as the time, which is as far as we can go in linguistic history. Amazingly, this timeframe coincides with when the Babel incident would have happened.1 With such findings and evidence, we can say that what the Bible says […]
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth didn’t have any shape. And it was empty. There was darkness over the surface of the waves. At that time, the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. 3 God said, “Let there be light.” And […]
Language plays an integral part, particularly in social settings. It achieves a responsive flow between or among people, affecting their feelings while getting our points across. It is definitely more complex than just a string of words put together. It aids in showcasing our personality, attitude, opinions, and intentions towards society. We perform these acts […]
With this understanding, we need to realize our ability as human beings to make things happen around us.We have the power to create major shifts not only in the world that we interact in as a whole, but also in our day-to-day lives.Language then becomes something more than just spoken word, but an action. Speech […]
“And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light” (Genesis 1:3). From the very beginning, language has been evident in the creation of our world, which was also powerfully used to create the first humans on Earth. Although this was spoken by God without any of us being able to hear it, it […]
