Be Like Ananias

There are times when we seek the will of God for our lives and it’s not forthcoming. Some people have waited for years to have their prayers for God to guide them as to what His will for them is. Others again seem to feel that God is not guiding them into His will for […]

Holy Joes

It is a long time since I have heard a testimony of what a person’s life was like before coming to faith in Christ. I recall the days when people would share how disgusting their morals were and how Jesus gave them a new morality once they trusted Him for salvation. Some would even share […]

Who Are You?

If someone asked you what your nationality is, what would you say? Take me … I mentioned sometime back … both grandfathers came from Scotland, one grandmother’s parents came from Cornwall in England and the other was a Voortrekker descendant. I’m an African.

Zealots

There is such danger in listening to people tell their religious stories and beliefs because sadly, so many are gullible, believing just about anything “religious” they hear.

Twisted Beliefs

Just because a Church says it’s Christian or because people say they are Christian does not mean that they are Christian. Many who call themselves Christian are Christianized.

The Jerusalem Council (Part 2)

As a rector of a Church it was my duty to present an annual report of what happened in the life of the Church from my perspective, but then others also gave an update on the ministry or ministries they were responsible for. For me there were times of joy giving reports because of Gospel […]
