Making money your slave

Posted by Edison Macusi on Tuesday, August 30, 2011, In : Word for the week 
Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income. Ecclessiastes 5:10

We have been talking about money in order to gain a deeper understanding on how God views money and the natural resources that we have been given. Obviously, the Lord will not give more to those who squander their present resources or those who do not have the wisdom to use what they were given. Money is a powerful tool when handled properly but without the right h...

Dealing with offense and bitterness in life

Posted by Edison Macusi on Monday, August 29, 2011, In : Word for the week 
“It is impossible that no offenses should come…” Luke 17:1-4 NKJV

Many people get easily offended. They are misers, unhappy and easily jolted by the failures or successes of others. Misery can be defined as the consequence of a negative reaction when we are offended, persecuted or challenged. The feeling of misery escalates when we find ourselves drawn to self-pity and self-condemnation or to accusation of others. Often, the very people who are closest to us inflicts the hardest pa...

How do we know if we have forgiven somebody?

Then Joseph could no longer control himself before all his attendants, and he cried out, "Have everyone leave my presence!" So there was no one with Joseph when he made himself known to his brothers. And he wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard him, and Pharaoh's household heard about it.

Joseph said to his brothers, "I am Joseph! Is my father still living?" But his brothers were not able to answer him, because they were terrified at his presence.

Then Joseph said to his brothers, "Come cl...

What does it mean to forgive others?

Posted by Edison Macusi on Tuesday, August 16, 2011, In : Word for the week 
We all have a story to tell about forgiveness. We face disappointments, we face hurts, we face a lot of unkind words, accusations, gossip and slander. So long as we remember, forgiving others is not an option so that we can live free from pain, free from guilt, free from bitterness and free from resentments. We are aware for example that there are many people who are hurting in this world, some because their husbands and spouses left them, mothers and fathers who have grown old and forsaken...

Is freedom of expression in art as indispensable as its purpose: reviewing Mideo Cruz’s ‘Poleteismo’

Posted by Edison Macusi on Friday, August 12, 2011, In : Special bulletin 

The shocking art exhibit of Mideo Cruz at CCP which took us all by surprise is only the tip of the ice-berg of what went wrong in the modern definition of art and freedom of expression. Some think that that art comes from a natural desire to express oneself through drawing, painting, sculpture, and installation of different pieces of articles to compose one’s opinion or one’s viewpoint. Wikipedia defines art as: “Art is the product or process of deliberately arranging items (often...

Acquiring heavenly treasures

Posted by Edison Macusi on Thursday, August 11, 2011, In : Word for the week 
"Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else's property, who will give you property of your own?” Luke 16:10-12

Money per se is not evil. But once we put our trust in money, or on our wealth, this becomes our god. The Lord ...

Keep your tongue from evil

Posted by Edison Macusi on Wednesday, August 10, 2011, In : Word for the week 
Recently I had a dream. In my dream, I saw a number of people whom I could only recognize as probably missionaries. This bold company of people were preparing to share the gospel and reach out a number of people and tribes. They prayed. They prepared. But what stunned me afterwards is to see that the same people were hacked to death and killed. When I saw what happened I run and run away from the scene out of fear for my life and mortified at what happened. Upon waking up I wondered wh...
