A firm hand is not a violent hand, Nor an aggressive one… A firm hand is a guiding hand, And a persuasive one. It cuts through the resistance of folly And instructs in wisdom. It endures the many testings of doubt, And instills faith in love… It inspires […]

It is good to know who you are in Christ, but even if you don’t or forget, you can’t run away from God’s favour. This is a lesson I learnt recently, and God used my own family to teach me. I thank God that for as long as […]
We can all do more to be more understanding of the other sex, and not let stereotypes and media hype corrupt our ability to discern our genuine feelings and needs…
My womb doth cry and cry… For the thing that delighteth it so, It did not receive. In the days past, It hath gathereth and prepareth A place so inviting and intimate, Where it may conceive and nurture The seed of a man… But alas, the month has […]
If I had a gun, I’d hold TV captive for 40 days So that husbands and wives, brothers and sisters Fathers and sons, and mothers and daughters Would learn the art of conversation If I had a time machine, I’d travel to the Last Day And watch the […]
I haven’t always been a pessimist. I used to be optimistic. In fact, I’ve always been an idealist and a dreamer, so I don’t get this pessimistic side to me. All I know is, I expect the worst, and when good things happen to me, I am more […]
The leading came again to continue the series on Conversations With God. This writing deals with the things that hinder our prayer time with the Father. I’ve identified five key obstacles, but there could be more. They are: Time; Insincerity; Pride, Doctrine and Language. I will address each one […]

I started this write up thinking that prayer should be the easiest thing to do, but by the end of it, I decided that there is a need to have ‘Conversations With God Part II’! It is not that prayer is complicated, but because it is about COMMUNICATION, […]
Sounds ridiculous right? But that’s exactly what we say in our hearts when we wrestle with God about preserving ourselves, rather than yielding wholly to Him. We want His wisdom alright, but we don’t want to lose the ‘wisdom’ we already have. Rather than present a blank slate […]
I give you an inch, but you take a mile… I feed your need, but you grumble still! When I think I have you under control, You show you are crafty and untrustworthy. So I must deny you, and hear you not! For you do not suffer my […]
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17). This article complements the long article on 1 Corinthians 7, titled ‘A Hard Teaching’. There were some things said that need to […]
Introduction Over the last few weeks, I’ve been meditating on Paul’s teaching and God’s commandments concerning marriage. As one seeking answers, and also seeking to minister to others like myself who have pondered on this great topic, I desired to know God’s will on the matter. Over 40 […]
