Fishermen (Part 3)

Although I have not done this in many years, whilst on the West Coast I learnt to make a “fish braai” (fish barbeque). There are a variety of ways to do this, from cutting the fish open completely to cutting the gut opening, cleaning it and stuffing it with tomato and onion or if the […]

Fishermen (Part 2)

Its 39 years ago since I left the fishing industry and many things would have changed during this period. In those days radio contact was on “short wave”. Although we have advanced so with technology where cellphone could be used as satellites are all over in the skies, I am certain they still use radars […]

Fishermen (Part 1)

Our theme “Dare to be a Daniel” is rather intense. It is for this reason that I want to break-a-way from it for a few days and then return again. On Sunday I was chatting to a sister in Christ who said her husband decided to go fishing for the day as he has been […]

Dare to Be a Daniel (Part 66)

Although I will say to you that having the right tools to open the Book of Revelation renders thie Book reasonably easy to understand, most people will continue to see the Book as hard to understand … even if they had the right tools to interpret.

Dare to Be a Daniel (Part 63)

True visions from God are decidedly different to those who in our day say theirs are God given. Daniel is in vision. Before he was facing and seeing, now he is falling prostrate before the angel Gabriel out of great fear (terror). Now we proceed to: Da 8:18 While he was speaking to me, I was […]

Dare to Be a Daniel (Part 62)

Those who are parents understand that their children, once able to talk tend to ask the same question all the time. Whatever happens or when you ask them to do something or when you are about to discipline them they ask “Why”. You might have either used the response or heard it … “Because ‘Y’ […]

Dare to Be a Daniel (Part 61)

Once again it is important to rely on Church Fathers who enjoy much wisdom and discernment from God as they approached the Scriptures and especially Apocalyptic Literature. It is easy to assume a text says one or the other thing. It is also easy to use your doctrinal beliefs and construct what your theology wants […]

Dare to Be a Daniel (Part 60)

When king Saul and his son Jonathan were slain, David sang a lament in the honor of Jonathan. These two men were friends, confidants, military generals and spiritual buddies. Their mission in life was Israel, the people of God. Into this context we understand the wonderful relationship between them as brothers in “the Messiah to […]
