It has become general knowledge among my readers that I do not hold the Bible to be infallible. Understandably, it’s a shock to many, because I profess to be Christian, and have many posts built on a vast knowledge and appreciation of scripture. Some think that I hold […]
“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 […]
“So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth” (Rev 3:16). Oh, not them again! Jeez, they just got saved yesterday and now they want to judge us?! All that silly talk about Holy Spirit and miracles… God […]
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 […]
“You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me; and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life…” (John 5:39-40). Jesus made this accusation to the Pharisees, but I believe that it […]
Hello, I am a Christian. No, I am neither Catholic nor Protestant. I am not a Baptist, Methodist or Evangelical. I am simply a follower of Jesus Christ. Please don’t put me in a box… Christ already took me out of one! If you want to know with […]
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 […]
In the multitude of Merry Christmas greetings that are circulating today, it is only reasonable to ask… is the celebrant merry? When we wish others Merry Christmas and share our gifts, do we consider Jesus? Do we consider what would make Him merry? Are we really willing to […]
