We went into a shop this morning that majors in selling Christian T-shirts. Many of the shirt’s designs are nice, but how much Scripture can you put on a T-shirt? Because of this, many of the designs with their wording could be misconstrued as to the message they were intending to convey. Once again I […]
What thought goes through your mind when you hear someone say: “I am a man [or woman] of God”? The reason I pose this question today is because we have heard the self-appointed prophet by the name of Shepherd Bushiri (alias Major One) say he is a man of God. As you are aware, he […]
Yesterday afternoon I took a walk over to our opposite neighbor to hand him a small gift. Whilst we were away last week, he kept an eye on our premises. Although he does not want or desire a gift, we bought something for him at an African Store in Graskop, near Pilgrims Rest. After I […]
I’m reading a heart-chilling story of a great Chinese pastor who struggled and suffered immensely under the Communist Authorities in China the 1950’s. His name was Tang Ming Tao. Brother David takes one through personal knowledge of a man who, according to him, would have been mentioned in the Bible if he lived in the […]
Our break-away to Chrystal Springs was a wonderful time of seeing beautiful landscapes, lots of animals and birds and most of all relaxing by being away from the normal routine. The N4 has some roads works going and coming, but generally it was good. The road from Belfast through Dullstroom to Lydenberg is much improved […]
In our first two Daily Notes on “forgiveness”, as we considered the question: “What type of person can forgive?” We saw that the one can forgive is spiritual and Christian who prays, using forgiveness to evangelise and build relationships. Now, looking at verses 8-23 we want to answer the question: “Why should Christians forgive?” To […]
What is the type of person who can forgive? Can anyone forgive? These are profound questions because the immediate answer tends to lean towards “anyone can forgive”. I want to spend a few days looking at the New Testament Book called Philemon. The basic message of this book is “forgiveness”. But first let me start […]
We’re looking at the New Testament Book, Philemon, considering the question, “What type of person is able to forgive?” In our second part we start by asking, “what did Paul want for Philemon?” Phm 1:6 I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of […]
What was the “biggest and longest” holiday you needed to pack for? We are going away for a few days this coming week. We have been gifted with Monday to Friday at Crystal Springs Mountain Lodge, situated in Robbers Pass, Pilgrim’s Rest, Mpumalanga. So, we have spent time today thinking about what to pack … […]
Listening to the radio this morning I heard some of a discussion on divorce. Although the lady speaking was very articulate and understandable, there was nothing Christian mentioned. Although she spoke about rebirth … it was in the context of the rebirth of a relationship. She spoke about being an entity and, when marrying you […]
