Yesterday, December 25, 2022 was Christmas. Today we realize that Christmas Day has come and gone. Some decorations, lights and trees might still be around for a few days … but Christmas has come and gone … has it? You see, if we live for Christmas with all the presents and festivities, then it has […]

Purpose
A very blessed Christmas to you as we remember God’s Incarnation! The Day has arrived! Christmas Day. I don’t say “Merry Christmas” … I say Blessed Christmas” because I want to veer away from merriment for a while and lift up Christmas as a blessed occasion because on it we celebrate God coming to earth […]
Incarnation
We live in an age of promiscuity! Wait! Let me rather put it like this … the race has always lived in promiscuity. Without consulting far-ancient to modern historians, we find the Bible filled with illustrations of this to teach how God does not want us to live. Not only is promiscuity alive and well, […]
God Incarnate
Immediately after sending out our Christmas Newsletter on Wednesday 21st I received a huge Christmas Present … my Green Card arrived in the post! Thank you for your prayer support. I do know that this is not a Christmas Gift because in God’s economy, it was on its way already … but the tradition is that […]
Person
Today we had our first South Carolina doctor’s visit. It’s time to have our prescriptions repeated and the only way to do it is to have a doctor’s appointment where they gather as much information about you as possible, together with taking your vitals, weight, height and complete copious forms before getting to see the […]

Protecting His Promise
We are trying to answer the question … “Where did the real Christmas start?” Yesterday we dealt with the topic “Tragedy” where we saw man who was created sinless for the purpose of fellowship with God, falling into sin because he rebelled against God’s probationary commandment. On Sunday night, the family and I drove through […]
In the Greatest Tragedy
In seven days’ time, the world celebrates Christmas. For most people this is a time of holiday, parties, presents, good food, visiting people, going on holiday … and there is nothing really wrong with all these things. In some parts of the world, Christmas is unknown or rejected because other religions celebrate their religious days […]
Opening Up the Word
I was pushed a little to return to Church because according to my wife, our eldest son (then our only child) needed to attend Sunday School. My wife came from a Roman Catholic background. What did she know about Sunday School? She never attended Sunday School and when I met her, she was “a non-practicing […]
Remedial Action
When I was a child at school, they had remedial classes for the children who did not achieve a certain standard in a particular subject. The intention was three fold. (i) Punishment … most children who landed up in the remedial class after school could do better but would not. (ii) Correction … this class […]
