Are There False Gods?

The president has responded to the faith leaders’ request for the resumption of prayer meetings and worship services. From 1 June 2020, places of worship will be permitted to conduct their ministries under strict conditions and limited to 50 people or less at a time. Further, he has called South Africa to hold a day […]

Self-Love vs. Self-Esteem

As I was walking yesterday, I saw a man riding a Super Bike. He had a female passenger on the back … raised up higher than himself. He was driving respectably. Both passenger and rider were warmly dressed for the cold weather. As they turned the corner, I noticed that his passenger had long grey […]

Why Sin is Like Glue

I went into a hardware store to purchase some glue. I want to glue a piece of carpeting on the base of the paper roll cylinder I made for Jenny. The assistant helped me purchase a 1 liter tub of carpet glue. As I took it off the shelf, the container’s handle broke and the […]

What Does the Bible Say About Mary?

I recall that soon after our salvation, we became involved with a federation of churches whose motto was “Thy Word Above All Things”. The two pastors who made a huge impression on me when it came to the Bible was Frank Retief and Alan Gray. Before they preached they would say, “Please open your Bible […]

Keeping Sane in God’s Word

The highlight of the day must be the worship of God followed by the president announcing the move to level 3 lockdown on 1 June. He stated that our city (Tshwane) is one of the “hotspots” in our country. The “hotspots” might face a few restrictions. However, I am certain many people are delighted that […]

What Does the Bible Say About Eating Certain Foods?

The Bible’s Explanation of God’s Existence

Whilst preparing breakfast for Jen and myself, I switched on and listened to Radio 702. I have listened to this station for many years, not because I enjoy the station but because they have a knack at exposing where the general population are at. Over the past few years, their morning presenters have changed. One […]

The Commission on Ascension Day

Today’s walk was so much easier. No pain and it seems my time had either improved or I had not read it correctly yesterday. 11.68 minutes per kl. I wonder whether at my age I’ll even manage to achieve 10 minutes a kl? Today is Ascension Day. This day comes 40 days after Jesus’ Resurrection […]

Focus and Perseverance

This morning yielded more or less the same temperature as yesterday, as I left for my walk at the same time to do the same distance, hopefully within the same time frame. There was, however, one difference … my legs were sore … maybe because I have increased my walking distance to 6.5 kl, walking […]

Spiritual Preparedness

After my morning walk, we had breakfast, showered and went to the shops. We needed some food and Jen needed some wool to knit a baby jacket, pants and cap set. Once back home, we had a late lunch and, because it was 3pm, I decided to take it easy for the rest of the […]
