“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10). This is a stark warning from Jesus, and a reminder of the goodness He offers us […]
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 […]
Every now and then, someone will ask you this question, when they mean to know whether or not you attend or belong to an approved Church. It usually follows a discussion on faith or religion, or in some cases, interrupts a budding discussion, because the person asking is […]
I have been a born again Christian since February 2002, and it was shocking to me, when recently someone asked me about what they should do now that they are Christian…and I didn’t know how to answer them! Before, while I was with the Jesus Christians, my response […]
The expression “follow the money” is well known among journalists seeking to find the source of corruption, particularly in government and big business. It apparently originated from the movie “All The Presidents Men”. Most people who are looking to prosper or get rich quick also tend to “follow […]
Hans Christian Anderson told a powerful story called “The Emperor’s New Clothes”. I think every adult in this day and age should be familiar with that story. The story is about an emperor who is deceived by con men pretending to be tailors, who offer to make him […]
“Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). Jesus said that, it wasn’t me. In my humble opinion, that means we are all born losers…because unless we receive a rebirth of our Spirit, we shall not enter God’s rest. In Christianity, […]
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 […]
“But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second” (Heb 8:6-7). I […]
“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 […]
“God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” (John 4:24). Jesus tells us the very nature of God, and the nature of the worship true believers are to give to Him. God is a Spirit. What that tells me […]
What is Jesus saying here? Is He making a distinction between Himself and God, the Father? And if so, what type of distinction? I think the difference Jesus is highlighting is relationship and understanding of God. The Jews have believed in God, but they have not all known […]
It’s the age old trick of deception; using your enemy’s weakness against them. It was the curiosity of the Trojans, and their greed, which meant that in a time of war, they did not suspect the delivery of a ‘gift horse’, and took it into their courts! In […]
The Gospel is a very simple message that can be hard to communicate. I hope this page, by taking from my post GRACE AND TRUTH, does justice to the message, and encourages you to take a step of faith towards God. It explains the purpose of the Law, […]
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 […]
