The reality of the Christian Church today is that we are divided. The issues that we are divided on are so vast, and the fear we have for deception is so strong, that we do not know what to lay down as an opinion and what to uphold […]
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father, which is in Heaven” (Matt 5:16). Lord, I live in a world where people hate the light, and aggressively seek to put it out. In this world, it takes courage […]
Once in a while, something the opposition says is true, and must be carefully considered… However in a state of war, we may prefer to deny the truth in what they say so that we can point out how they missed the mark overall. But, I don’t think people […]
Jesus said, “wherever two or three are gathered in My name, there I am in their midst” (Matt 18:20). In the beginning, the disciples of Jesus met at public places, in the market place, at synagogues and at the Temple. Many met to fellowship at the homes of […]
Lest any think the message of grace Is a license to live at one’s will, Or an occassion to act selfishly, Hear ye! You were bought at a price. Though you were once a slave to sin, You are now the captive of Christ! As a new creature, […]
Yesterday, inspired by my recent discussions with a former believer turned atheist, I wrote a piece called “When it is easier not to believe“, recognising that we all face times of doubt. I think I omitted a seventh and important situation when a believer may be tempted to […]
Jesus teaches us that the pure in heart are blessed because only they will see God (Matt 5:8). When we are gifted with spiritual sight…to believe in God, to be aware of His presence, to desire His fellowship…we are blessed. But there are times when we do not […]
Today, I went for my first walk in a very long time. Anyone who really knows me knows I love walking. I love the ocean breeze that blows in my neighbourhood and I especially love to look at the beautiful houses and discover new routes. For years, I […]
Jesus said for us to be “wise as serpents, but gentle as doves” Matt 10:16. So the wolves and vipers of the world attack us when we approach them to tell them the Truth. Filled with knowledge, but having no desire to change, they like to use carnal […]
The life I want starts today. I will consciously make more effort to give time to these things that are important to me and spend less time on activities that sap my strength and inspiration. With the 24 hours God gives me each day: 1. I will rise […]
Prayer…. Do you really believe it works? If you do, does it work like a leathal weapon, with immediate effect, or more like a slow-ticking time bomb? Is it the first resort in times of crisis, or do you place it aside like an ineffective toy gun, to […]
It is unbelievable that a Word can become Flesh. It is unbelievable that through spoken Words, The World and all that is in it were created. It is unbelievable, until you believe… It is unbelievable that God chose to become a Man. It is unbelievable that though He’s […]
What is the perfect life? I believe it is different for every single person, but the media tries to get us all to want the same things… We are socialized to have certain expectations from life, and follow a specific pathway to happiness. We all know the pathway. […]
Lord, in obedience to You, I try to love others like myself. I desire to do what You do. Show compassion to the weak, Give bread to the needy, And hope to the oppressed. I seek to love as You love Me, But my self often gets in […]
