Since I started writing my story series, I’ve come across women going through so many challenges in their lives, and especially in their marriages. It has inspired me to write and to keep writing about marriage, and how to be steadfast in it, and how to work to […]
So I’ve moved on to reading Leviticus as part of my daily Bible reading. Today, I read Chapter 7, which concluded God’s instructions to the Israelites via Moses, about how they ought to sacrifice their offerings to Him. In this chapter, God talked about the abomination of unclean things […]
You see that little boy in the picture, jumping happily without a care… He needs Jesus! For many believers, this is a given, but the realisation that my son needs Jesus to be good, and not just me to raise him right, came as a little shock to […]
I am still reading Bill Weise’s book on “Hell”, and I’m in Part Two now. I’m in the first chapter, where he tries to give an overview of why God created the world, man and everything. He talked about God creating the tree of knowledge of good and […]
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 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 […]
Last week, I wrote a post to show that Christians have been called to a far better covenant than the old one God entered with the Hebrews. I lamented that too many Christians do not realise the beauty of the new or understand their liberty in this better […]
“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 […]
What does that mean? Does it mean that the righteous don’t have a Law nor a need for one? I believe by saying this, Paul was explaining the need for the Law, which is three fold: 1. To make sin and evil known (Rom 3:20); 2. To prevent […]
People often say Christians shouldn’t threaten unbelievers out of the road to hell…that it is wrong or unethical to preach hell to get them to accept Jesus as their only salvation. It isn’t just the unbelieving who say this. Many Believers think and say this too, with varying degrees of […]
The story of ‘The Prodigal Son‘ is a definite favourite among Christians. We love it! I love it too because it’s the most explicit description of God’s extraordinary grace. And the lesson is enough to cause any that have gone astray to boldly arise and return to the […]
“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables” (2 Tim 4:3-4). The Bible talks […]
Eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil has made man so wise! Now we know good and evil, we can judge God. In fact, we are so enlightened now that, we are wiser than God, and beyond judgement ourselves. “How can a God be worthy of […]
I offer no translations, no concessions and no explanations. Read these words from Paul, just as they are. Take them as his understanding if you like, but know that he was appointed by Jesus to teach the Gospel…and his ministry was particularly for the Gentiles. If sexual morality […]
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 […]
