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 –...
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...
Overboard with God
I heard an interesting story the other day:There was a man who had fallen overboard a ship in the deep seas. As he held on to a piece of wood that floated by, he was praying and asking the Lord for help. Soon a ship came by an offered him assistance but the man...
Prayerfully for Others
The Apostle Paul tells us that, as believers - born of water and the spirit, we are citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven (Phil.3:20). Normally a citizen of a certain country will display characteristics of the country from which they come. For instance, as South...
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 is...

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 when someone...
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 say ‘No’ to sin...
Complacency in Earthen Vessels
2 Chronicles 26:1–16“But when he became strong, his heart was so proud that he acted corruptly, and he was unfaithful to the LORD his God…” (2 Chron. 26:16) Complacency: A Hidden Danger Complacency is part of human nature. It’s that state of self-satisfaction that...
Guard Your Heart – Part One
Prov 4:23: Guard Your Heart – Part One The Wake-Up Call (Proverbs 4:23) Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. This morning, while driving the kids to school, I became aware of something troubling in my heart. While attempting to...
Our Future – What Hope? (Part Three)
I did say in Part Two that I would talk more about why our mindset matters in the times ahead. We will look at issues such as the tribulation, the rapture, and preparedness, and why these events must take place. I will touch on you and me, in terms of how we will live...
Our Future – What Hope? (Part Two)
Last time, I said I’d talk about what it might be like if we actually go through what’s called the “great tribulation”—and what our part could be before it all happens. But before I get into that, let me say this again: The amazing thing about God’s word is that it’s...
Our Future – What Hope? (Part One)
Isaiah 11 “Like a branch that sprouts from a stump,someone from David's family will someday be king. The Spirit of the Lord will be with him to give him understanding, wisdom, and insight. He will be powerful, and he will know and honor the Lord. His greatest joy will...
Mysteries of the heart
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit[1] Have you ever wondered, as you read through...

Mission Malawi – Chapter 11
Shortly after our return from the field trip, we began to pray together to ask the Lord to help us find a means of income. We had been blessed financially every now and then by precious brothers and sisters back in Johannesburg. As grateful as we were, these blessings...
Mission Malawi – Chapter 12
26th January 1995 – 29th May 1995We had planned a break to S.A. and Zimbabwe for six weeks, during January 1995, so we were quite amazed when it turned out to be so long. In our last newsletter we shared about the challenges with the Combi and how wonderful it was to...

Zimbabwe July 1995 – August 1995Kathy’s parents had asked us to please return to Zimbabwe for the birth of our 5th child. They had kindly offered to pay for all the costs and also knew of a Christian doctor who would oversee the birth. I asked Titus if he would like...
Mission Malawi – Chapter 14
19. 08. 95We have made an official statement at the Police station. We were asked if we had used our car to report the theft. I repeated that our tyres and rims were stolen and the Combi was at home. They were enquiring because they had no vehicle in which to come and...
