"And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a Living Soul..." As usual in my walk with the Lord, I have often read scriptures and not really thought very deeply about them. It’s amazing how...
Died for My Sin or Resurrected for my life?
We've heard about the “The Gospel” – the foundation of the Christian faith. Today there seems to be many different versions of how the gospel is interpreted, what the Gospel is or what it means. The gospel is normally explained by saying, “Jesus died on the cross so...
The Race of Faith – Part Two
Summarizing Part One: Surrounded by a cloud of witnesses, let us shed every hindrance and run the race with patience, looking to Jesus, who endured the cross and now sits at God's right hand. Just as training for an IRONMAN requires sacrifice and dedication, so does...
Why me Lord?
How many times do these words go through our minds when things don’t seem to be going the way we want them to? Our walk with the Lord needs to be more real to us by allowing it to become more practical in our day to day lives. God really desires to have a close...
A Day in the Life of the Narrow Road
"Consider it all joy”, says James from his book in the new testament, “When you encounter various trials…” One wonders why somebody would make that kind of statement. James goes on….. “Knowing that the testing (trying) of your faith produces endurance”. He further...

Who’s the boss around here?
Some may be blessed enough to have a very kind and compassionate boss. Some on the other hand, may not be so blessed. Which category do you fall into? Most people today are supposed to submit to one kind of authority or another, whether that be in a country...

The Race of Faith – Part One
Heb 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Heb 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author...
Reflection: Are you plugged in? Jesus promises the Holy Spirit
If the Holy Spirit and Jesus dwell within me, why do I feel so powerless? Have you ever asked that question? I have. I used to repair computers, and often got called out to see to a machine that the customer said was dead, even after having asked the question “Is the...
What is Truth?
What Does Knowing Truth Have to Do With You and God? "Jesus told the people who had faith in him, "If you keep obeying what I have said, you truly are my disciples. You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. " [1] We live in an age of the highest...
Where is the Kingdom of God? – Part Two
“The kingdom of God is God’s reign breaking into the world through Jesus — present now in hidden, transformative ways, and destined to be fully revealed in the future. The earliest Christians didn’t reinterpret Jesus; they simply lived out what He taught.” In part two...
Mission Malawi – Chapter 1
It was about 4:30am when we left the small farming community in Zimbabwe. This had been our three week stop over point where we had been making final preparations for our long awaited stay in the unknown ‘Warm Heart of Africa’, Malawi. The rain was pouring down in...
Mission Malawi – Chapter 2
28. 01. 94 Three weeks ago, before we left Johannesburg, we were still wondering if the Lord wanted us to go without any funds. No funds had become available to us during our three and a half month stay in Johannesburg, (specifically for...
Mission Malawi – Chapter 3
24.02.94 We are trying to make the best of what we have. Very difficult. There are many flies and cockroaches. The ablution facilities are not good. There is a small outside building, one half a toilet (long drop), and the other a wash room. To go to the toilet we...

25.02.94David, Frank, Hein and I began early morning prayers this week. David has fellowship meetings Mon, Wed, and Fridays. Tonight is our first meeting and we will attempt to do the first teaching, ‘The Fall’. God has shown us clearly that we are to impart the...
