The Cloud
I guess we can all have experiences that are very hard to put into words. As followers of Jesus, we are mindful that the world looks for opportunities to mock us. That’s certainly the apprehension I feel in deciding to write down an event that happened to me at Nicholaston burrows one day. I know…

Passing The Torch
Praise the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens (Psalm 150:1) _ So I was sitting in my lounge recently listening to various rock worship songs from 20 to 30 years ago. Remembering the Delirious? concerts and the excitement of 24/7 prayer when it began and that sense of revival,…

Legacy matters
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.” (Matthew 16:24) _ It’s important to honour our differences in evangelical, biblical-based denominations. I don’t go to a Salvation Army church but I really respect them. My wife and I are good…

Don’t look to the thorns, or to the flesh, but look to Jesus
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. (2 Cor 4:16) My dear friend Robb’s earthly body died from skin cancer in 2006. I will never forget him, he was and is a tremendous man of God who was integral and had…

The Calling Of Samson
I have been thinking about Samson recently. Perhaps it’s because I have become partially blind in one eye and Samson lost both his eyes just before his passing. I’m not aware of any Bible study or sermon about the death of this heroic, difficult man. But I have thought for many years now that there…

All Our Troubles Are Temporary!
‘For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.’ (2 Corinthians 4: 17 – 18) Last week, my family…

All that we need
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God. (Ephesians 2:8) Christianity didn’t make sense. I remember standing in front of a church pastor with my fist gripped in my pocket, wanting to smash his face. He was sitting in a chair, smiling at…

Jesus is with you every day of your life!
“I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” It is so easy to read these words from Matthew 28:20 and overlook what Jesus is saying. But when you hit the brake and really take time to meditate on it, these words are truly life changing! Jesus is literally saying that He…

Stand Up For Kindness
One of you will say to me: “Then why does God still blame us? For who is able to resist his will?” But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, “Why did you make me like this?” Does not the…

Choose Life
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” (Jesus Christ) _ First of all, my connecting train was cancelled. An alternative train was due to arrive at platform 7 but an announcement told everyone it was now platform 12. A large crowd…
