Nursing Emotional Weakness
We are naturally self-centred and therefore it’s not easy for us to accept what other people say about us. We have a built in instinct to defend ourselves and criticise situations or others, if we do not approve. Genesis tells us that Adam was originally created in...
Our Daily Garden
As we travel along our daily road of life, we can find ourselves, broadly speaking, in one of two states of mind – either, filled with fear and anxiety or abiding in the peace of the Lord. Let’s imagine walking into a neatly laid out vegetable garden. The rows of...
Recognition from Man or God?
Ever wondered why it is that we seem to get so offended when others don’t agree with us or worse still, criticize us? We aren’t alone in this. A quick look through the Bible shows that throughout history, many were disappointed at situations in their lives. Let’s...
Stay with Me… I’ll Encourage You
On the 22 April 2017 all South Africans were invited to meet on a farm near Bloemfontein in the Free State. The purpose of this meeting was to worship the Lord and pray for our country, South Africa. It was amazing to be part of such a gathering. As far as our eyes...
Communing with God
(1Cor.11:24-26) When last did you and I go to a celebration, like a wedding, a birthday party or some other special occasion and truly enjoy ourselves together with the hosts? Normally what happens at those types of occasions is the eating, drinking and partying...
Being a Container for God
I’ve heard the expression “desperate times call for desperate measures…” and can’t help but think sometimes my prayer life is something like that. We live in desperate times. Our country’s economy is currently very difficult and as a nation, we struggle with...
Prayer….Seriously?
Have you ever pondered the scriptures where Jesus says that we should ask for anything in His name and the Father will grant it to us? I did, many times. I wondered why I was asking the Lord for things that I felt I needed but God didn’t seem to be answering...
We are the Remnant
The Kingdom of God is an area where God has complete reign and authority. His government (Godly principles), are the rules by which the Kingdom operates. It is a Kingdom which is not bound by physical boundaries like a kingdom of this earth. Many times in the New...
The Dying Seed
"Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal. (John 12:24-25). One of...
Building Bridges – Part One
Experiencing life in community can be a very rewarding time. Let’s have a look at some examples of community situations outside of our normal understanding of city or neighbourhood communities. Community may be one of the following:• Church group: i.e. prayer group...
Is God Real? – Part Three
Before I launch into today’s article, let me remind you of the purpose of this series. I am directing this series to help those who do not believe in a single theistic God—offering them the two options of believing in God or accepting a scientific view of life. In...
Is God Real?- Part Four
Before I launch into this final article, let me remind you about the purpose of this series. I am directing this series to help those who do not believe in a single theistic God—offering them the two options of believing in God or accepting a scientific view of...
There was a Crooked Man – Part One
This children’s rhyme is often associated with a funny figure of a bent and crooked man. Let’s pause and look at this a bit closer. There are often profound teachings we get from children’s books of nursery rhymes, there are sometimes deeper meanings behind the...
There was a Crooked Man – Part Two
(Continued from Part One) ….There are still areas of my life that are not as straight as they should be, which are not aligned correctly. I still have to struggle with the sinfully “crooked” things in my life. But since God can make them straight, I keep looking to...
Does God Punish?- Part One
Jonah 3:1-10; 4:1-10 Does God punish? The question begs an answer which we must thoroughly research. When humans attribute characteristics to God’s person, we tread on sacred and unexplored ground. I say unexplored because which of us could define the infinite...

"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..”
