I was quite interested in two articles today that have a serious note as well as a humorous touch. The first one relates to Springbok and Lions rugby star, Elton Jantjies. Let me say straight away that I think Elton is a great player and also a reserved and respectable man as far as I […]
If you have the time now and then, it might a great idea to read through a sort book of the Bible and collect the themes it addresses. Naturally it will help you get a handle on the Book’s main message and the subsidiary messages that flow from the primary message. I want to consider […]
As followers of the Lord Jesus we need to be very cautious that we don’t be familiar with our salvation. By this, I mean that once we are saved we are so excited about the new life that we can’t talk enough about what Jesus has done for us … and then after a season, […]
We have considered six of the Seven Precious Blessings for the Believer. They are Salvation, Forgiveness, Justification, Peace, Eternal Life, and the Sealing of the Holy Spirit.
