“That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them”. (Mark 4:12) By this saying, Jesus lets us know that spiritual vision is a gift, withheld from […]
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 […]
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 […]
On this blog, since I have discovered my mandate and calling to preach the Gospel in light of Grace and Truth, I have come to realise just how challenging that can be. It is so very hard to speak the truth without meeting the accusation that I have been […]
“For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto […]
I’ve written a few pieces on Hell recently, as I’ve tried to understand and explain why a loving God would create such a place so contrary to His character. As I’ve written these posts, and gained understanding by God’s Spirit, I have been amused. God has a marvelous […]
Today, I’m musing on love. God’s love more specifically. After a disagreement I had with another believer, on a post I shared about homosexuality and fornication, where he argued that God’s love is conditional…and said we are not called to show unconditional love, the musings began. I have written […]
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God” (Romans 8:14). The Apostle Paul is known for his strong stance on morality for Christians, even as he is known to wrestle against the legalism of the Jews (Gal 3). He […]
As early as you can, it is good to know yourself and to know the grace of God. I can describe my childhood and youthful years as zealous. I had zeal for a lot of things, but I lacked knowledge of myself or of the grace of God. […]
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 […]
