Our Godly Value
We’ve said before…. God does not consider one person better than another. He loves each precious soul equally. Because He loves equally, the price for salvation is one and the same for all – Jesus! The price for our Salvation has already been paid – and amazingly –...
Bonded into Love
The word ‘slavery’ has a very negative connotation today, and quite rightly so, because many abuses have occurred around slavery in modern times. However, it wasn’t always like that. The concept of a “love slave” in ancient times was...
If I Could Preach One Sermon
If I had only one sermon to deliver, I would preach it to the church as it stands today. In an age where compromise is celebrated and every belief is deemed acceptable; my burden would be to warn those who consider themselves righteous yet are on a path that does...
Prayer Made Real
Imagine having the power to say ‘No’ to sin and living a victorious Christian life. It’s possible, and we have the tools to make it happen. Our Christian walk needs to become more practical. When our old nature died with Jesus, we gained the power to...
Learning The Equation for Peace
The Apostle Paul gives us a profound truth in Philippians 4:6–7. It is almost like a spiritual equation, simple yet powerful: Not being anxious + asking God for our needs + thanking Him for what we have = living “In Christ.” This is not just a formula for peace—it...

What it means to be ‘In Christ’ – Identity, Purpose, and Hope
The bible makes so many references to being ‘In Christ’. Many times, being ‘In Christ’ carries a promise from God. The position of ‘In Christ’ is essential to our walk with the Lord. It is a deep, transformative union with Jesus Christ, meaning that...

Our Future – What Hope? (Part Four)
What if the warnings we explored last month are closer than we think? In Part Three last month, I mentioned the paragraphs below as important for any reader to understand and accept as vital, so I am going to remind you of these points: The Bible doesn’t give...
Where is the Kingdom of God? – Part One
“And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! Or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” [1] Among...
Striving but Missing the Mark
“I, the LORD, invite you to come and talk it over. Your sins are scarlet red, but they will be whiter than snow or wool…” – Isaiah. 1:18[1] I find God’s words in this scripture a great joy. ‘I invite you to come and talk it over…’ Talk what over? You may...
Do you Talk to Yourself? – Part One
Do you talk to yourself? I know that I do. It’s only when I start answering myself that I might need to worry. Yet, talking to oneself can be a way of clarifying thoughts, working through problems, and even releasing the “inner voice.” That little voice keeps us on...
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...
Mission Malawi – Chapter 5
13.03.94Building is still in progress and conditions seem even worse. There is sand and mud in the house constantly. The areas that have been painted are being messed up with muddy children’s hand and foot prints. Erika became ill, we took her to Nkhoma Mission...

"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..”
