Sadly, we live in a world where murder is easy and once executed there are no repercussions. Are you shocked at me saying this? Have you ever thought about abortion … that tools designed to do away with unwanted (largely) babies? If you hit worldometers.info you will see at least two abortions happening in the […]
We live in a world where there are no boundaries as to where people migrate or immigrate to. One could take almost any country in the Western World and find citizens living and working in any amount of countries. This is true of our own country. There are so many South Africans living and working […]
We enjoyed a braai with some family and very good friends today. The fellowship was good and Christ was Central. What struck me is that the people present came from Benoni and Randburg, as well as from England and the United States. Those from Randburg and Benoni drove their cars to our house and those […]
There is a theology known as Biblical Theology. It does not intend to counter any other “Theology” such as Systematic Theology.

We see this in families, business, sports world, neighborhoods, societies, political parties, etc. Opposition will happen whether we like it or not. This was bound to happen in the Early Church because the Gospel […]
There are those who refuse godly wisdom from their own number! Take Gamaliel’s prophetic words to the Sanhedrin: Ac 5:34 But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, who was honored by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered that the men be put outside for a little while. Ac 5:38 “Therefore, […]
Why is it that bad things happen to God’s people? This is a question often asked … or at least thought. Yesterday I preached at a small Church close to where we live. On our way home, after crossing a four-way intersection, after a block we approached another intersection where we had the right of […]
