“Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee” (1 Tim 4:16). How important is doctrine in the life of a Christian? What is doctrine, really? Google defines doctrine as a “belief […]
If you happen to have read my post Think BIGGER!, you may have had some of your views on and practices of Christianity challenged. Some of your deeply entrenched doctrines would have been strongly refuted by that brief Bible study and revelation of who you are in Christ. […]
“If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it” (John 14:14). This saying of Jesus is much misunderstood, but it is so simple to comprehend. Many respond to this message by treating Jesus as a genie who grants wishes, as long as they add […]
As children of God, as the Bride of Christ, as His very own Body and as Friends of the King of kings, we are privileged to enjoy a special intimacy with God… unlike His enemies or mockers. Jesus said that when we believe and obey, showing our love […]

Hey you! Yes you. You want to be rich? Cutting corners and scheming in search of fast riches? Labouring all your life to save for retirement that may or may not come? You’re thinking too small. Think BIG! Think true wealth. Do not store up for yourself treasures […]
What is the most thrilling thing that one can experience in this life? Is it the out of body feeling of riding on a fast roller coaster? Or the exquisite experience of eating the most amazingly tasty delicacy? Or the euphoria of a drug induced high? Or the […]
Christians are often regarded as “Know-It-All”s by the faithless, because of the confidence we place in the knowledge of God and all things spiritual. Maybe it could also have something to do with how we seem to have an answer for everything…or how hard it is to get […]
