I have been discussing the urgency of evangelism and missions with a few brothers. I have found that when in South Africa I was able to be evangelistic in just about every environment I found myself in. Here in America it has been a great challenge. Most people are house bound. I have not been […]
One does not have to persecute Christians outright to demonstrate opposition to the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ! Speaking against Christianity to people, soliciting them to join your “religion” or “organization” in itself is demonstrating opposition to the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. In looking back over my life when I was a […]
I was able to get away for a few hours yesterday to meet up with a pastor who heads up a Christian Ministry that seeks to teach Church leaders the skill of teaching others. We spoke about many things but soon we found that our doctrines and theology are the same and although he is […]
Many jokes surrounded Charles III’s coronation a few weeks ago in Britain. One was something like … “What a shame that he needs to wear his mother’s clothes”. This was in reference to that white fury robe he wore. The whole ceremony with all the parties cost the tax payer a staggering $125 million. (ABC […]

I am sure that just about every pastor or Christian Worker, as well as many Christians have had people talk to them about Christianity. They seem interested. They ask all sorts of questions … yet the one matter they never touch on is their sin and their need to deal with their sin. Mostly such […]
In the days before we had cellphones, Jenny and I were returning from visiting an elderly lady on a small holding in a type of rural setting. As we travelled home on a gravel road, a Telkom bakkie entered our road, which was the “main road”, the driver not looking … just driving cross right […]
