God’s Cinderella
I really don’t believe God gets any kind of joy at seeing us suffering in our daily lives, as we go about the challenges we face. God certainly is not like a human being. As a genuine Father, He wishes to see us succeed in getting to know Him. Why would He want us to...
You are so Special
"And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a Living Soul..." As usual in my walk with the Lord, I have often read scriptures and not really thought very deeply about them. It’s amazing how...
Died for My Sin or Resurrected for my life?
We've heard about the “The Gospel” – the foundation of the Christian faith. Today there seems to be many different versions of how the gospel is interpreted, what the Gospel is or what it means. The gospel is normally explained by saying, “Jesus died on the cross so...
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...
Why me Lord?
How many times do these words go through our minds when things don’t seem to be going the way we want them to? Our walk with the Lord needs to be more real to us by allowing it to become more practical in our day to day lives. God really desires to have a close...

A Day in the Life of the Narrow Road
"Consider it all joy”, says James from his book in the new testament, “When you encounter various trials…” One wonders why somebody would make that kind of statement. James goes on….. “Knowing that the testing (trying) of your faith produces endurance”. He further...
Reflection: Are you plugged in? Jesus promises the Holy Spirit
If the Holy Spirit and Jesus dwell within me, why do I feel so powerless? Have you ever asked that question? I have. I used to repair computers, and often got called out to see to a machine that the customer said was dead, even after having asked the question “Is the...
What is Truth?
What Does Knowing Truth Have to Do With You and God? "Jesus told the people who had faith in him, "If you keep obeying what I have said, you truly are my disciples. You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. " [1] We live in an age of the highest...
Where is the Kingdom of God? – Part Two
“The kingdom of God is God’s reign breaking into the world through Jesus — present now in hidden, transformative ways, and destined to be fully revealed in the future. The earliest Christians didn’t reinterpret Jesus; they simply lived out what He taught.” In part two...
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 not...
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 us all...
Mission Malawi – Chapter 5 Appendix
ABOUT 7 MONTHS LATER….After sharing with various people over this period of time, I have heard from the Lord. He desires that I keep “writing down” our experiences. So, with a renewed heart and spirit, it’s my prayer that the Lord will bless mightily, all those who...
Mission Malawi – Chapter 6
The instances of ministry are too numerous to mention during this time of the restaurant. I was able to minister daily to the people who were working in the business as well as the customers. Many refugees from Somalia, Mozambique and Rwanda came to eat and received...
Mission Malawi – Chapter 7
A few days later, a man came to the house and spoke to Kathy. He said he had an unfinished house just around the corner from where we were. We looked at the house and while it was not what we were used to, anything was better than what we were experiencing. I...
Mission Malawi – Chapter 8
Customs in all cultures can bind people and often allow for the word of God to be compromised at one point or another. “This is a hard saying…” and can only be revealed by the Spirit of God Himself. We tend not to receive such words because of trying to hold on to our...
Mission Malawi – Chapter 9
Field Trip14th – 21st November 1994The following is a report of a field trip completed by two disciples of the Lord. The purpose of the trip was mostly a teaching experience to see how the Lord can bless those who are willing to give of themselves completely to His...

"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..”
