Once before, after our Wednesday Morning Bible Study, we went to the Bible Society in Kempton Park and from there, using the iPhone’s GPS, to Rennie Street, Benoni, Agricultural Holdings. The iPhone relies on an internal Assisted GPS (AGPS) chip to determine one’s location. This feature comes built into the iPhone so one does not […]

Spiritual Weeds
Although it rained and hailed late yesterday afternoon, I took a little time out this afternoon to water the garden. I run two hoses as we have a borehole. Whilst the one hose runs a sprayer for the lawns, I hold the other to water the pots and garden. You might recall me saying I […]
Immune
Fridays are normally garden days, but due to other things I decided to leave the garden for Saturday, yet the way Saturday panned out it never happened. So … because yesterday was Human Rights Day in remembrance of the Sharpeville Massacre in 1960 … and because today (Monday) is a Public Holiday … it was […]
False Prophets
We live in a world and age where most evangelical Christians are aware that there are some serious false prophets and teachers out there. However, this is not a new or Twenty-First Century phenomenon. As you read our Father’s Holy Word, He tells us of fake spiritual leaders and teachers that abounded in the days […]
Titles
Titles and positions have their place, as do superiority and subordination. I was busy in the kitchen yesterday with the radio on. I’m not sure what the discussion topic was, but someone called in saying that they detest the craving for power by some in positions of authority. The example he used was working for […]
Packing

Although He speaks of Him leaving … referring to His return to Glory (Ascension) after his Death and Resurrection, He assures His disciples He will not leave them as orphans. Joh 14:18 “I will not leave you as […]
Obstacles and Detours
On our way to Benoni this morning, we were no sooner on the N1 national road when we saw an electronic sign saying further along the N1 there was a serious crash and two lanes were closed and motorists should expect delays. I switched on the radio and almost immediately the news ended and the […]
Hot Potatoes
There are a number of “hot potatoes” happening around the world, instigated by those pushing a liberal agenda (all-encompassing). Many of these “hot potatoes” affect the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, politics, morals and ethics. Our country is not immune. What happens in other countries finds its way to our country. One of the […]
God Made Known
Often people ask questions like … “Is there a God? Who is God? What is God like? These would perhaps be the most common questions. It’s not only people who have grown up with no religion of any sort … Christian or non-Christian that ask these questions … it includes people who have been Churched […]
