Yesterday we saw the first of the Seven Precious Blessings for the Believer … you are saved! Today we need to consider why we enjoy “salvation” … (We are “saved”). We enjoy salvation because we are “forgiven”. It is very important to understand that human forgiveness and divine forgiveness are extremely different. When we forgive […]

A Year of Work
It is almost hard to believe that today we “celebrate” exactly one year of COVID-19 lock down in its various stages, from hard lock down level 5 to level 1, then level 3 again … and now back to level 1. Who knows what the president and his command council will resort to for the […]

Bodies
We live at a time where rapists and murderers get rid of their victim’s bodies by placing the corpse in a shallow grave or dumping the body in a bush. Look at this taken from an online newspaper: A tin opener was found next to the shallow grave that was pointed out to Wentworth police […]

Once before, after our Wednesday Morning Bible Study, we went to the Bible Society in Kempton Park and from there, using the iPhone’s GPS, to Rennie Street, Benoni, Agricultural Holdings. The iPhone relies on an internal Assisted GPS (AGPS) chip to determine one’s location. This feature comes built into the iPhone so one does not […]

False Prophets
We live in a world and age where most evangelical Christians are aware that there are some serious false prophets and teachers out there. However, this is not a new or Twenty-First Century phenomenon. As you read our Father’s Holy Word, He tells us of fake spiritual leaders and teachers that abounded in the days […]

Titles
Titles and positions have their place, as do superiority and subordination. I was busy in the kitchen yesterday with the radio on. I’m not sure what the discussion topic was, but someone called in saying that they detest the craving for power by some in positions of authority. The example he used was working for […]

Packing
Our opposite neighbour told me early in the week that he and his wife were going away for the long weekend (this one). Last night when I arrived home his caravan was outside the garage and he was sorting and packing to make certain he had all the right things they would need for the […]

The Advocate
Please read John 14:15-31. Here Jesus teaches so much about the Father, Himself and the Holy Spirit. Although He speaks of Him leaving … referring to His return to Glory (Ascension) after his Death and Resurrection, He assures His disciples He will not leave them as orphans. Joh 14:18 “I will not leave you as […]
