Still Waters Introduction: The Beginning of a Song This chapter opens the first movement of a twelve-part journey that will unfold over the course of a year under the title The Songs of Liberation. These writings are not offered as abstract theology, nor as detached reflection, but as a spiritual pilgrimage. They trace the way a human life is drawn from distress into peace, from inner fragmentation into restored identity, and from healing into divine purpose through Jesus Chr

Are you humble enough? The reason why I ask that is because nowadays it's very hard to spot someone who is humble. They may have this image of wearing the correct dressing, saying the right words and just being polite and nice and just being generally the society's accepted way of humility. And this give us a very very skewed vision of what it is to be humble. What does that entail? Does humility mean wearing the right outfit? Does humility mean talking down on yourself? What

With the Paris Olympics going on in 2024, so many athletes are in Paris right now, winning gold medals, trying to win gold medals, and trying to make a name for themselves. However, what happens when the unexpected occurs? There's a well-known movie historically called The Chariots of Fire, which depicts the 1924 Paris Olympics and it shows a character called Eric Liddell, who, because of his faith, decides to skip the Paris Games, where he was one of the favourites to win a

Martin Luther, during the 1500s, lived much of his life feeling as though he was somebody of no reputation. He was a monk, and whenever he felt guilty, he would beat himself multiple times across his back with stripes. This was a common practice among Christian monks at the time, and he would beat himself mercilessly, often to the point that he despaired of life. Then one day, I believe, while reading Scripture, he came across Ephesians 2:8–9. After reading it, he was astonis

Imagine you're trying to achieve something, you have a great plan for your life and you are thinking of it, you imagine this thing and you go through all the work, the training, the prayers, and all the sacrifices involved for you to achieve this very thing and you believe you have all this faith, you say you have all the faith in the world and you believe in whatever faith you believe in and you just decide to go for it. You do all these things to cover the fact that we don'

C.S. Lewis and Joy Davidman came from similar backgrounds in that they were both intellectuals, geniuses, very intelligent, and of course, atheists. However, there's a slight difference in their upbringing in that C.S. Lewis was a Christian and she was an atheist. Although from a Jewish background, Joy Davidman made her way to the UK, and C.S. Lewis is enthralled by this woman's analytical ability, her strength of mind, and he marries her for her to stay in the UK. However, n

The Concord was known as the fastest and quickest supersonic jet plane of its era from the 1970s all the way down to its closure in 2003. However, with all the speed, with all the glamour, many rich people used it, and many people who wanted to experience the feeling of being in the air, going over a thousand miles an hour. They experienced a plane called the Concorde. However, in 2000, a mighty crisis occurred. The Concorde plane, on its takeoff, decided to explode. There wa

John Knox was a Scottish reformer, well known in the 1500s in Scotland. He was recognised across the United Kingdom and lived during the reigns of several queens named Mary—Mary in Scotland, Mary in England, and others who followed. What I want to highlight is that John Knox was someone whose character remained the same from start to finish. He never faltered in his beliefs or in his faith, and he was deeply committed to his conviction that Scotland could be reformed—that it

The Tongan Castaways were six teenagers who decided to leave their boarding school and travel by boat to a faraway place, escaping the harsh environment they were living in. But because of youthful exuberance, they ended up stranded on an island far from home, with no food, no supplies, and no certainty of survival. They found themselves completely alone, forced to strive together just to stay alive. Now imagine what it would be like being stranded with six people. Think abou

The Songs of Liberation There is a difference between hearing the sound of many waters and being carried into mighty waters. One declares authority; the other requires trust. The first interrupts the noise of the world. The second confronts the soul with what it cannot control. Mighty waters are not symbolic at a distance. They are lived realities—moments when life surges beyond understanding, when circumstances refuse to yield, and when the structures we depended on begin to
