“That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them”. (Mark 4:12) By this saying, Jesus lets us know that spiritual vision is a gift, withheld from […]
I think we all think that we are better than we really are. We would like to believe that given a moral dilemma, we would rise to the occasion and do the right thing, no matter the consequence. We are also quick to damn those who fail in […]
In your group of friends, you’re known as the ‘Christian’, ‘Goody-Two-Shoes’, and – on a bad day – ‘Bible-Basher’. You’ve learned that your opinion is not wanted, appreciated or even acceptable in group discussions. But your friend has just told everyone at the lunch table that she’s planning […]
Please note that if you have never sinned in your life, then it’s better you don’t read this post. And the same applies for commenting. Thank you! Everyone else should know what I mean when I talk of shame. Although, some might argue, that you can be made […]
Lord, I need Your help today To love someone who doesn’t love me To treat them with kindness Even when they abuse and insult me Help me to love them Your way Knowing that when I hated You You took the punishment for my wrongs Even though I […]
I don’t know anyone who enjoys a trial, or a single soul who can stand waiting. These, for us, are seemingly unnecessary aspects of living. We all wish life would be free of trials and we could have what we want when we want it. However, for God, […]

These days it seems that the vast majority of people I run into that claim to be Christians simply are not.. What are they anyway? Simply a person who attempts to live a good life? Really, this is a pathetic definition of the most…
Liberal Christians are professing believers who have or desire more affiliation with the world than they do with Christ. They are easily and often offended by the acts of other professing Christians, who they like to point out to the world as unloving and judgmental, unlike them. Liberal […]
I have a testimony! It’s so wonderful when we see God in action. Sometimes He lets the Devil mess around with us, so He can show us His power and encourage us that whatever our circumstance or situation, HE IS IN CONTROL and is GOD and God alone! […]
I usually write for the ladies… Today, I want to write for the gents. I usually write from personal experience, but today, I’m writing from an understanding of a husband’s duty to his wife and family. We owe it to feminism for the blurred roles in the family. […]
Many people think I am nice. You know, because I am Christian, they feel I ought to be nice, friendly and agreeable. And the fact that I am charitable and compassionate magnifies the perception that I am naive, easy and a push over. Resisting other people’s urge to […]
Disadvantaged from birth, life has been a struggle. Searching all my life for some kind of a breakthrough. Thank God for skills and blessings, despite the hustle. Trials and testing is making me more like You… “I want a hero! I’m going to find one. I will not […]
Time is one thing that we are always complaining about. Whether there’s not enough time in the day and you’re too busy, or you’ve got too much time on your hands and you’re terribly bored. Or maybe you can’t wait to grow up so you can do this […]
In my previous post, I concluded my discussion by ending with an appeal for women to take the sacrificial route, rather than demand their right to their bodies and life in the abortion debate. However, I thought more on it and realised that the debate doesn’t end there. […]
Yes, there’s a but. There was no ‘but’ before I got pregnant myself and experienced the reality and the mystery of it all. Before, there was no argument in my mind about it. I was – and still am – Pro-Life, because of my fundamental belief in God […]
