I want to revisit the inspiration, infallibility and inerrancy of the Bible today. There are so many “churches” and “pastors” or self-acclaimed “prophets” today who believe that the Holy Scriptures are part of Christianity but insufficient for the era in which we now live. Years ago, I drove past a church where a huge signboard […]
Have you read through the Old Covenant Book Jeremiah? I remember a very dear colleague of mine who started preaching through this Book of the Bible. A few weeks into it, some in the congregation were saying, “Woe is me! Woe is me!” Some see the human author of Jeremiah as a prophet of doom. […]
Normally there are a few drivers that ignore road signals and are not courteous on the highways. Today was different. So many drivers changed lanes in front of oncoming vehicles without indicating. Others drove faster to prevent others from entering their lane. How accidents did not occur is beyond me. It’s extraordinary that so many […]
Have you had one of those days where you feel you were unproductive, although you were busy? That was me today. We left home at 8am and drove through to the church getting there around 8.40am. This is my first day in the office … actually my first day in any church office in 13 […]
How often do you learn lessons? I need to confess that I’m rather slow, though I do try to be observant about what is happening around me. Before I tell you about two ladies and their stories, I want to speak about a gentleman who lived in the same Center for the Aged that my […]
In Luke chapter 9, Jesus speaks about the cost of following Him. Verses 57 through 61 seem quite easy at first, with verse 62 carrying a significant sting. Let’s read the passage together before we unpack the passage briefly. Lk 9:57 As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, “I will […]
How does one understand things that happen around us when we don’t have answers? We tend to be a people who want to be in control, know what is happening and know why it’s happening, yet often we find ourselves in a tight spot where there are absolutely no answers for our inquisitive minds! How […]
What does your salvation mean to you? Have you ever pondered that question? Do you spend time thinking through what you have been saved from? Eph 2:8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no […]
Over the past few hundred years, there have been many debates and even fights about how salvation works. To me, this seems senseless because we have the Bible to consult … but then I must admit it depends who is reading the Bible and what would be their starting presuppositions be. You see, if you […]
As human beings, we are social animals. We were created to interact and fellowship with each other. Relationships are important and needed. Often, these take years to build and develop, and when we can’t gather as friends, family–especially as a church family–we miss each other, and the lack of gathering or meeting has an adverse […]
