We are surrounded by a plethora of choices every single day. What to eat, what to wear, where to go, what to do, and how to do it.

ODJ: Avoiding Mean Streets

In 2015, a 70 year old woman and her husband were headed for a day by the ocean. Following the directions from their SatNav, the woman unexpectedly drove her car into a dangerous area. Instead of finding a beautiful Brazilian beach, the couple ended up in Caramujo, one of the most notorious slums in Niteroi. Someone opened fire on the car, and the woman was struck by a bullet.

God is greater than our shame. Because Saul failed to realise this, his life ended tragically. The Israelites were engaged in a fierce battle and suffered defeat at the hands of the Philistines on Mt. Gilboa. That day the Philistines killed Saul’s three sons and wounded him.

In 586 bc the Babylonians tore down Jerusalem’s walls and destroyed the city. Nehemiah exp

ODJ: judgement of justice


An acquaintance of mine, who is highly intelligent and has a philosophical leaning, also carries antipathy toward God and religion.

ODJ: knowing our place


I recently read of a man who started a church and saw it grow and flourish over the years. But unlike some pastors whose fingers have to be pried from the pulpit, this man began grooming a younger man to take over his church. Why? Because he felt God was calling him to do so. And, at just 51 years old, this healthy, dynamic pastor humbly moved on as his 30 year old protégé took his place.
