Why is our blog's display pic like that?

HEY ALL!

You guys must be wondering why our display picture is this man looking at himself in the mirror.
The theme verse for the blog is adapted from James 1:22-25

"22Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror 24and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it—he will be blessed in what he does. NIV


When people wake up, the first thing they do is go to the mirror to check how they look and make the necessary adjustments. Maybe its the messy hair, or the dried saliva at the cheeks; these are the many things which we all want to correct so we look fine.

That's what the passage in James 1 is talking about: where the mirror is represented by the bible, where we should check our lives, if we are living in accordance to His word. Where we see anything which is wrong according to God's law, we should immediately do the corrective action, or else as James put it, we will forget what we look like.

The intention of the blog is to challenge all of us to be like the man who constantly looks at the word of God, through the devotions and messages through videos. That way, we will be blessed in what we do.

God bless
