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…

Afterwards, I googled the film and realised it was considered one of the best movies ever made! So there you go – that’s…

Rule One
Rule One. That’s what I call it whenever I feel submerged by troubles in life and stand guilty of failing Jesus. Here it is: “There is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus, who live according to the law of the Spirit and not according to the law of sin and death.” (Romans 8:1). That…
