Something To Celebrate? – Part One
We received an invite to our Granddaughter’s 7th birthday party. What an exciting event! I began to ponder that seven short years ago she was about to be born. At that time our lives still had an empty space that she was about to fill – what a joy! Reason to...
In The Secret Place
A secret place is a wonderful place to be. Somewhere where we can be alone to be with our own thoughts, peaceful and quiet, the ideal escape from the world. In our secret place, we can be who we want to be. We can think of things we want to think of. We can work out...
Will You Hold My Emotional Hand?
We are naturally self-centred and therefore it is not easy for us to accept negative things that other people say about us. When we do not agree, the built in instinct to defend ourselves, criticise situations and blame others, raises its head. This is true of us in...
Why Do I Still Sin?
We have been speaking much in recent times of how our walk with the Lord needs to become more practical. We shared about how the Lord has given us a ‘tool box’ to assist with our daily walk. Prayer is one of the tools in the tool box. The following truth is another...
Getting To Know Him
In the world today communication is very important. In worldly terms - success is borne out of effective communication. We learn communication from teaching institutions but primarily from our upbringing. This would not only be the spoken word but body language as...

The Gospel Simplified – Part 1
What is The Gospel Really About? If asked this question, I would respond: It's a long story about a short message. I'm serious; it's as simple as that. This short message is critical for any believer who sincerely desires a relationship with God. The Gospel...
Mysteries of the heart
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit[1] Have you ever wondered, as you...
Understanding Grace
Paul writes in Romans 5:8, “But God showed how much He loved us by having Christ die for us, even though we were sinful.” This is the foundation of justifying grace—God’s act of making us right with Him through Jesus’ sacrifice. We are dead to sin and alive in Christ,...
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...
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...
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...
Mission Malawi – Chapter 4
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...

"If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection. For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin..”
