Harmony of Grace

Why did I decide to start this blog? Why call it Harmony of Grace? 

One definition for the word harmony is "living in peace and mutual understanding with others."

I have always been fascinated with music and in my opinion, the musical definition of the word harmony has a more accurate depiction of the word's true meaning.

In musical terms, a harmony is "a note or group of notes that compliment the notes in the melody (main tune of the song)."

There are many different possible harmonies, but if played/sung correctly, they all compliment the melody and emphasize the beauty of the musical arrangement as a whole.

When I had my first encounter with Jesus, the concept of harmony became much more real in my life.

But how does harmony have anything to do with God's grace?

I believe that God's grace can be seen in the world we live in, through various means, as a complimentary harmony to God's nature and story for us. We might all hear/play different harmonies, but all of them point to God's amazing glory and ultimate love for us. 

This is the main reason that I have begun my own blog and why I have titled it 'harmony of grace.' God's grace is all around us. Just as there are many different harmonies that compliment a song's melody, so also there are many different ways that we are able to experience the harmonies of God's grace in the world we live in.

For me, I experience these harmonies of grace in nature, music, running and more. For you, it might be different.

God's grace is all around us. My prayer is that through sharing my experiences of God's grace in my life, you too might come to experience similar 'harmonies of grace' in your own life.

"The heavens declare the Glory of God; The skies proclaim the work of God's hands."
- Psalm 19:1 (NIV)

    This is very cool dude. Just read it, makes me want to experience that harmony. A lot of people come with "babbling words" and "arguments" to persuade people to love Jesus. In this first post - I see you just writing a beautiful piece... and people are invited in... :)

The Laws of Leviticus

The second and third passages of scripture that are used to condemn homosexuality and clobber LGBTQ+ people come from the often-read book of Leviticus (sarcasm alert). Before digging into these verses, let’s quote them here: “Don’t lie with a man as with a woman; it is an abomination.” - Leviticus 18:22 “‘If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.” - Leviticus 20:13 These strong words in the Bible have armed anti-gay protesters with enough content to fill their picket signs with hatred and violence. “Homosexuality is an Abomination” and “God hates fags” and “To death with the gays” are all signs that make regular appearances at Pride parades throughout the world, unfortunately often held up by so-called Christians. Regardless of someone’s belief about homosexuality, I will never understand how some Christians see this as a Christ-like response...

The Ceremony that Divided the Church

Note: A shorter version of this article was first published with the Jesuit Institute of South Africa. Last week Friday, my family sat down to watch the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. The French always have a knack for the theatrics and this year was no different. The performances throughout the long ceremony were mesmerizing and provocative. We went to bed that night feeling tired but excited for the Olympic Games that were officially starting the following day. Little did I know that not everyone shared my enthusiasm. The Outrage I woke up the following morning and decided to browse social media (when is this ever a good idea?). My feed was filled with people sharing their outrage at a particular scene of the Olympics’ opening ceremony. A still picture of the ceremony was being shared alongside a picture of Da Vinci’s “The Last Supper” painting which admittedly showed a slight resemblance to the original. According to the outraged folk (including some morally...

Leap of Faith

I recently did the Lake Eland Extreme Zip-line with some of my friends from Pietermaritzburg. The zip-line is 1 100 meters long and reaches max speeds of up to 160km's per hour. All that is keeping you from falling hundreds of meters to an inevitable death is 2 cables and a harness that my hysterical brain was telling me would not have been out of place as a car's seat-belt. We arrived early and waited for half an hour as we contemplated our life choices up to this point. Eventually we were all kitted up and ready to go. While I wouldn't say that I have Acrophobia - an extreme fear of heights - as I looked out over the gorge that we would be flying through, breaking the national speed-limit in the process, it is fair to say that my stomach started churning and my legs turned to jelly. It was at this point that I'm sure many of us were trying to think of any reasonable excuse that would get us out of this jump without seeming like a coward. One of the thin...
