COVID, Russia/Ukraine, recession…does the Bible have a say?
Over the past three years i.e. since 2020, the world has faced two epic shocks that no one predicted - the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, and the Russia/Ukraine crisis in early 2022. In this note, I look at some of the important mega trends that these shocks have accelerated. Specifically, I highlight how these shocks seem to affect almost all countries in similar ways, leading to similar responses. Also, how these shocks are driving more cohesion by world leaders and peoples in how they deal with what they consider to be a shared problem. What is really happening? What could it imply for your money? And does the Bible have anything to say about all this?

'Detty decemba' they called it.

Wealth/riches, influence and serving God – Joseph and Nicodemus

Understanding and breaking generational curses 🤺⚔️
Ezekiel 18:19-20 says that a son shall not bear the guilt of the father because the son has done what is lawful and right, and has kept all God's statutes and observed them. The inverse of this statement is therefore also true that: if the son of a sinful father (or mother indeed) is also … Continue reading Understanding and breaking generational curses 🤺⚔️

As it was in those times, worshiping these gods was very common and attractive. At a more fundamental level, it’s attraction was partly borne out … Continue reading What could ‘gods’ look like in our lives today?
