This post was birthed out of a sharp rebuke I received from the Lord a few days ago. Scriptures say that God disciplines those He accepts as his children; and no discipline seems pleasant at the time but later on it leads to a harvest of righteousness for those who have been trained by it. Last Thursday ( May the 14th) I moved out of my old house and I had a landlord whose behavior and actions left little to be desired. The Lord in His grace finally led us to a new house we were all excited about. But once we moved in, my attitude changed and ingratitude settled in ( I became almost depressed instead of rejoicing ). The next day on my way back home from work , I was praying and the Lord led me to John 5:1-18. I didn’t know why the passage crossed my mind and I spent the next 48 hours meditating on it until I understood what HE was trying to teach me. And this is what I’m going to explore today. The questions you see below are the ones I will consider in this presentation.

My name is Tayib Salami and I started Tayibs.com for the sole purpose of exploring difficult questions about the Christian faith that most of us shy away from. In 2017, I entered a very dark time in my life and it’s only by the grace of the Living God that I’m still alive today. It led me to really go deeper in my faith and consider a myriad of questions that I never thought about asking myself or others before. Welcome and enjoy the ride with me.
