Today we notice the response of the missionaries once they were expelled from Pisidian Antioch … they “shook the dust from their feet in protest against” the business and political leaders as well as the Jews who incited their expulsion from the city. During our time pastoring a Church in Welkom in the Free State […]
Like it or not, every single soul appointed to eternal life shall believe and be saved! Ac 13:48 and all who were appointed for eternal life believed. Let’s review this Biblical statement again … due to the Fall in the Garden of Eden where man lost his innocence and sinlessness resulting in total depravity, no person […]
Some might think a change of plan is wrong. Consider the many people who have gone through theological education and have ministered within the confines of a country, say in Britain, Germany or South Africa and yield little results, not because their labors were lacking but because the hearts of the hearers were hardened to […]
As a child I was taught to keep my eyes open and my mouth closed. Naturally for a little farm boy, always outside exploring, talking to imaginary friends as I played Tarzan, climbing from one tree branch to the next, keeping my mouth shut was an impossibility. As the years went by and I grew […]

There are those who grow up in the Christian Church and never recognized Jesus Christ as God’s Rescue Plan. It is true that in some Churches the Gospel is not preached … but at the same time there are those Churches where the Gospel is preached faithfully, yet some are not moved or effected by […]
Preachers have different styles of presenting their material to congregants. Whilst it is true that not all preachers are called to preach, the first visible aspect of preaching must be the call of God with the Spirit’s anointing.
