What is the value of a soul? Maybe we need to be more personal … “what is the value of your soul?” When Jesus said He would build His Church, what did He have in mind? When He spoke to Peter, exactly what did He mean? Mt 16:18 “And I tell you that you are […]
The value of the soul is so important to God that He came to this planet to rescue His most precious part of creation … man! Not all of mankind, but all those who are recipients of His grace: Lk 2:14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom […]
This morning after the preacher had completed his sermon, I told the congregation of a one vehicle accident on our way to Church as we travelled along Great North Road in Benoni. This vehicle had gone from the double lane section, over the center grass pavement strip landing up on the grass section between the […]
Blessed Christmas. May grace abound in your life as you follow Jesus as Lord. Although we had an early service this morning, the church was the fullest I have seen, with extra chairs being put out.

It’s amazing how you could develop a picture of a person in your mind by what people say of them. People create strange pictures of pastors. They don’t know the pastor but already have a picture of what a pastor is … then they might hear something from someone who either supports (likes) or perhaps […]
Have you noticed in history that often women come to the rescue, though at times some create bigger problems? On the negative side we could think of Eve buckling to the wicked seduction of the enemy in the Garden. Anyone of us would have as well … and that includes men. We cannot forget the […]
There is a huge difference between a pastor or someone trained to do Christian Counseling and a secular counselor (called him or her whatever you want). There is a method of Christian Counseling that is totally Biblical known as “Nouthetic Counseling”. The Greek noun “nouthesia” is used by Paul in the New Testament and when […]
