On our way to Benoni this morning, we were no sooner on the N1 national road when we saw an electronic sign saying further along the N1 there was a serious crash and two lanes were closed and motorists should expect delays. I switched on the radio and almost immediately the news ended and the […]
There are a number of “hot potatoes” happening around the world, instigated by those pushing a liberal agenda (all-encompassing). Many of these “hot potatoes” affect the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, politics, morals and ethics. Our country is not immune. What happens in other countries finds its way to our country. One of the […]
Often people ask questions like … “Is there a God? Who is God? What is God like? These would perhaps be the most common questions. It’s not only people who have grown up with no religion of any sort … Christian or non-Christian that ask these questions … it includes people who have been Churched […]
Although the word “precious” is used many times in the Bible, there are two aspects that need to be of special importance to us. Firstly, in the sermon I preached for today I referred to the fact that God views His Son Jesus Christ as “precious”. This comes up in Peter’s use of the “stone” […]
Some friends of ours are emigrating during the next few months and have embarked on the huge task of sorting out their house and garages. They built their house and have been in it for 21 years, but they have been married for close to 50 years … so you can imagine how much they […]

We have been here before, but after two crashes that happened today I feel it is more than worthwhile visiting this again. When we leave home, we leave for a destination with the full intention of arriving at that destination. This morning we left home and our destination was Holy Trinity Church in Benoni … […]
I did a pastoral visit to an elderly lady this afternoon. It was amazing to hear how she serves other elderly people with her spiritual gifts and abilities. What was impressive to hear was what she does … and she was untrained in the field of service, but because of a loving, willing, Gospel heart, […]
I spent some time in between doing admin work, Bible study prep and sermon prep hanging cameras outside the side of the house that faces the road today. This is because of all the crime in the area. There are no windows on the road side, so we cannot see if anyone is outside. I […]
There have been so many burglaries and attempted burglaries in our area and in our street recently. In our street there were two break-ins and one attempted break-in on the same day with another gruesome break-in earlier the morning where a domestic worker was killed and the house owner was shot in the head. He […]
