Is Time Wasting a Sin?

To waste time is to spend time doing an activity other than the one allotted. The activity may be right, healthy, and acceptable to society, but because it is not done in its time, it amounts to time-wasting. On the positive side, reading a good book when the time should find you in bed is time-wasting. Adding twenty minutes to your lunch break is time-wasting. Watching a movie, when you are supposed to be on the pitch playing some sport, is time-wasting. Attending a Bible study, when you are supposed to be in the choir or vice versa, is time-wasting. Snoozing the alarm, and earning five more minutes on the bed is a serious time-wasting that many of us are guilty of. Once again, time-wasting refers to employing time in an activity that it was not allocated for. How often do you waste time?

Three Irreducible Minimums in a Relationship.

Relationships are increasingly becoming hard to handle. This is not only as far as romance is concerned, but even more than that, poor relationships at work, the family, and humanity in general. Everyone seems skewed towards self and not cognizant of others anymore. Once self has been satisfied, anyone else doesn’t matter. Even further, most people are ignorant of what it means to be in a toxic relationship. Like the lost coin, they are lost but unaware that they are lost.

A Leave You Shouldn’t Take

The paradox of time and money is what makes leaves and sabbaticals quite attractive. Some even skewes their leaves to one side of the year to make it meaningful and satisfactory. Instead of having it piecemeal in terms of a few days, some will gather them and go on a one month leave. Holidays are good times to spend with family and friends, and generally to unwind and find yourself again.

Who Does That?

Have you ever heard such a statement? Wrong question! Do you remember the last time you heard such a statement? Maybe not verbatim as I have it here, but in its implication? “Who does that” is used to bring out an idea that someone has behaved in a way we don’t expect them to act, […]

When Men Weep in Public

Manhood is special. Manhood is volatile. Manhood is tough. Manhood is a higher calling. Men endure pain and suffering untold for a cause they believe in. It almost seems that there is some silent element in the definition of manhood that has to do with the ability to withstand a given degree of pain. How […]

“Bless Those Who Have Given, Be Also with Those Who Have Not Given…”

This statement is a household term among most of us, especially those who practice some pious engagements. It is a statement that most of you have heard, especially when people offer prayers after people have given tithes and offerings. In most cases, it sounds crammed because it is easily predictable, and it evokes the same […]

Exodus 25:8 (KJV) And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. In our world today, each is seeking some good place to lay His head after a long busy 21st Century Day. The need is so dire and evident that affordable housing is one of the big four presidential agendas […]

Should Everyone Just Do Whatever they Want to do?

Freedom is the greatest need of every soul. Absolute autonomy is deemed by many a point of self actualisation, and many will really fight to achieve it. No one wants their liberties to be under the power of another, who thus enjoys the privilege of curtailing or fostering it. We want to do whatever we […]
