Living with Sour Balls
If we were perfect in God’s eyes, would we have need for Him in our lives? I think not. If we had all our physical needs met daily, would we call out to Him for help. I think not. If all our emotional relationships were running smoothly, would we be crying on God’s...
Loosing Sight of our Target
As Christians, it is easy to get caught up in the daily grind of life and lose sight of our ultimate goal – that is, to be with God in His Kingdom, both in heaven when we leave the earth, and now, while on earth. We can become so focused on our earthly...
Loving God’s Way
In line with the desire to make our walk with the Lord more practical, let’s look at the most important commandment….’Love your neighbour as yourself’ (Matt 22:39). I’m sure we’ve heard these words many times, but have we really understood what Jesus meant? In order...
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...
The David’s have all the Answers
In terms of the impact of the Gospel, nothing has really changed since the time of Jesus – some people will accept the message freely and others will reject it outright, turning the light of the Gospel off, so they can continue working in the dark undisturbed. Some,...
Unlocking a New Life
At first glance, the situations in the world around us do not seem to be very encouraging. The reason that is, is that we see things according to our own understandings. Our ‘measuring’ system is the nature which we received from Adam. This nature causes us to...
Our Pillar of Salt
From the time of the Garden of Eden, mankind has continued to inherit a sinful nature. Scripture shows us in Genesis 1:26 that ADAM was created in the ‘image and likeness’ of God. Genesis 5:3 goes on to show us that Adam had a son in his (Adam’s) image and likeness....
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 divisions...
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 according...
Humpty Dumpty – Part One
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,Humpty Dumpty had a great fall;All the king’s horses, and all the king’s men,Couldn’t put Humpty together again. This children’s rhyme is often associated with a funny little figure of an egg sitting on a wall, lets pause and look at this a...
Understanding Prophecy – Part Three
This is the final article on prophecy and will deal with prophecy as a gift to all the members of the body (to all those who want the gift of prophecy.) Let me mention a couple of important points here before we move ahead.I will make a few suggestions on how to...
Understanding Prophecy – Part Two
In this article, we will discuss how the five-fold ministry functions. How is a person recognized as a prophet and what is the prophet’s role in the body? (Church or small group.) The Five-Fold MinistryIn Ephesians 4:11-12 Paul says there are five types of gifted...
Understanding Prophecy – Part One
What is prophecy, and how does it affect the lives of ordinary folk like you and me? Before discussing the biblical origins and applications of prophecy, let us draw a distinction between worldly and religious prophets. A worldly prophet could predict something as a...
I Am Thirsty
'I Am Thirsty' Like Jesus, we thirst for God's healing, restoring presence in our own pain-wracked lives. Our souls are parched and dry for it. God willingly quenches it - abundantly, fully, now and forever. When was the last time you were really thirsty?Can you...

"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..”
