My Story
Mine is not a story of wayward living and drugs resulting in a desperate call on the Lord but rather that of a small quiet, and beckoning voice of the Holy Ghost who cautioned me that whether good or bad, unless I call on the name of the Lord that I too would ...

Why do bad things happen to good people?
Why do Bad things happen to Good People? Firstly, what are we implying by this question? That bad people should or must have bad things happen to them. If this were so then where would grace fit in and where would I have been before I knew Christ? Secondly w...
Let God be true and every man a liar
The old song states that "God is still on the throne, and He will remember His own", but in a world driven by logic, money and so called "political correctness", do we still really believe this? Do we find ourselves (while claiming a life of faith) actually li...

Rebellious House
I have always found Ezekiel to be a difficult book and so it has never really counted as one of my favourites. This time I am getting so much out of it and finding it so challenging. Ezekiel 12:1-2 NKJV: Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying: "Son of ma...
A priest in my home
Hebrews 5:12-14. While these scriptures can apply to everyone, I have been challenged with respect to the following: As fathers and husbands, never mind members of a local fellowship, we need to be grounded and established in the Word of Truth; correctly disce...
Fallow ground

God's goodness and our wayward hearts
"According to their pasture, so were they filled. They were filled and their heart was lifted up. Therefore they have forgotten Me." (Hosea 13:6) Indeed, we serve a great God, one who wants nothing but the best for us. While stated in Jeremiah 29:11 (For I kn...
Deliberate Christianity
Some of my notes from this morning's message (2011/05) Romans 12 (Amplified Bible) I APPEAL to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of [all] the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and facult...
Am I pressing on?
A quick thought. "Can't is not a word; it consists of CAN and NOT. Which one are you?" (M. Roger's Mom). I must say, "I like this statement". It reminds me of another by P. Huysamen, "Don't tell me what can't be done, tell me what can." This attitude (not in...
A completed and victorious work

Where is my hope and assurance?
Yesterday I was listening to a hymn from a CD of hymns sung at one of Billy Graham's Crusades. The hymn was taken form Psalm 23:6 and it stirred my spirit. “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of ...
The Parable of the Sower: the application
Matthew 13:18-23, Mark 4:14-20, Luke 8:11-25 Luke puts it plainly and clearly, “The seed is the word of God.” The beginning of all things was the Word of God (Genesis 1:3; God spoke and it was) and the end of all things will be the same Word; when we each wi...
The complexities of knowing God
He hath showed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD requires of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? (Mic 6:8) At the end of the day, knowing God is not part of some deep secret that has been hidden from us...
