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 […]
Many of us take for granted the simple message of the gospel that we have received and accepted as the TRUTH. We’ve heard it so many times in Church, read it in so many pamphlets, and maybe even written about it as Facebook messages to our family and friends […]
The gospel of Christ is such a mystery to onlookers. They can hardly understand why an all-powerful being, such as God, would subject Himself to such an humiliation as to be killed on a Cross. How He could say that He came to save the world, but wasn’t […]
What makes God God? Is it His love or His wisdom or His sovereignty? These are perhaps His three most defining traits, but only one make Him God. The answer can only be found in the definition of a god. A god is not defined by his goodness […]
Those words will either humble you or anger you, but throughout our lives we will come across situations where we are shut out from. Where our input is not needed. Where we have no choice but to trust those with understanding and insight. Truth is, as much as we […]
“We know everything, and there is no God,” said the Atheist. Mankind have been learning about themselves and their environments since the beginning of their recognition of their existence, whenever that beginning was. We know that without the consciousness that we are alive, and the ability to think, […]
There is an account in the Bible about how Paul and Barnabas went to Lystra, preaching the gospel among the Gentiles, and then came across a cripple. Paul speaks to the cripple that he may be healed, and he is healed. Immediately, the people believe that Paul and […]
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 […]
You have a problem. You have an addiction. The thing you crave so much has blinded you to what you need. You crave to know. You feed on much knowledge, but are never content, because the more you know, the less you know. This drug that gives you […]
This post has been a long time coming… It has been in my drafts for a few months, and I saw it earlier this week and said I must get around to writing it asap. I also find it particularly relevant to something I’ve been going through. So, […]
The account of Peter walking on the water to Jesus is very popular. It is used by many Christian ministers to teach why we must keep our eyes fixed on God. I would like to spend some time on it today, to see if there are other lessons […]
Sounds ridiculous right? But that’s exactly what we say in our hearts when we wrestle with God about preserving ourselves, rather than yielding wholly to Him. We want His wisdom alright, but we don’t want to lose the ‘wisdom’ we already have. Rather than present a blank slate […]
The leading came again to continue the series on Conversations With God. This writing deals with the things that hinder our prayer time with the Father. I’ve identified five key obstacles, but there could be more. They are: Time; Insincerity; Pride, Doctrine and Language. I will address each one […]
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 […]
Let’s think about that for a minute. Really, really think about it. Can you imagine it? The absence of the awareness of any divine Being? Any sovereign Lord? Any all encompassing Spirit? So many people profess that they can. And that they have. And in fact, they live […]
