Give Us our Daily Faith
In my life, I try to find simple practical solutions in my walk with the Lord. Previously, I found myself praying, asking for things and situations to be resolved according to how I thought they should be sorted out, as if God needed a helping hand! When I found...
God’s Appointment
Have you ever wondered how it is that some of the circumstances of our day are really annoying? We plan our day to the best of our ability but somehow things don’t turn out the way we would like. As I write this, I’m sitting in a queue at a bank – patiently waiting –...
God’s Franchise
A franchise is a type of license that a party (franchisee) acquires to allow them to have access to a business's proprietary knowledge, processes and trademarks in order to allow the party to sell a product or provide a service under the business's name. Similarly,...
Standing in Court… with God
In Luke 18:1-8, Jesus shares the parable of the poor widow seeking the Judge for legal protection from her adversary. Being a widow, and not having a husband to help or protect her, her request came from a very sincere and burdened heart. She had a clear need to keep...
God’s Line of Authority
But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. (1 Corinthians 11: 3) Seek God’s HeartAnytime we come across issues which may lead to contention in the body, we should seek God’s heart in the...
My Armour or God’s Armour
How many times do we feel that we have need to go out and ‘fight the good fight'? How many times do we feel that if we don’t go out and fight the good fight, we will be disappointing God? How much of our own strength can we commit to this task when we have so much on...
My Name or His?
Somebody asked me the other day what I would do if I won R50 million in the Lotto. I must admit, it was a nice thought – and nice to just let my mind dwell on the answer for a while…. those few minutes gave me a kind of relief from my current pressures. It’s nice to...
My New Hope – Guaranteed!
My Mother loved the Lord and we were blessed enough to spend times worshipping Him together – those were special times. One afternoon when I came to have my afternoon chat with her, I noticed she seemed a little concerned. I asked her what was on her mind and she...
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...

Is God Real? – Part One
Prologue ‘Is God Real?’ is a four-part series aimed particularly at those who can’t accept that God is real. Does this mean that this series is not for you if you are already a believer in God? Not at all. Firstly, in your walk with God, you will meet many who don’t...
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...
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 scene....
Does God Punish? – Part Two
Jonah 3:1-10; 4:1-10 As promised in Part One of this series, I will discuss more about the law in this session. Then I will finish off with the story of Jonah and God’s rebuke.Let’s deal with the issue of the ‘Law.’ Jesus prayed to God, telling God that He “…finished...

"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..”
