One of the most startling realities in life is death! Many losing loved ones go through awful emotional distress. Bereavement can be hard. Today, after Church, I was talking to a man in his later 70’s. He was telling me that he works for a mortician every second week. His function is to get close […]
Ministry is not always a bed of roses. We have spoken about this before, though it is encouraging for all Christian Workers when God uses them in amazing ways. In the passage we started yesterday we saw Peter being used by God in wonderful ways that stimulate confidence in the Gospel amongst those in the […]
Whilst at school, I was never interest in subjects like Geography for one simple reason. It required study and writing examinations. Once I started at Bible School many years later, such subjects, although not taught there, became interesting to me. The next passage in the Book of Acts is: Ac 9:32 As Peter traveled about the […]
Could you imagine a world or even a home free from all problems, challenges and hardships? It’s like wanting a Local Church without being a target of the evil one. However, the glory of being in our final destination as the Bride of Jesus (The True Church), is that once we are with the King […]

Is there any sight better than seeing an “old gangster”, wrinkled, tattooed and bent over walking into church Sunday after Sunday to worship God with his fellow believers? Some who knew them years ago and were traumatized because of their drunkenness, bullying and threats, because of their commitment to Jesus … suddenly see these chaps […]
The day I was saved I knew without a doubt that God wanted me to be a pastor teacher. Literally nothing made sense any more other than being God’s servant, proclaiming the Word and the Gospel. It is not something that can be easily articulated because it is a spiritual matter that God writes on […]
I am a firm believer that when God speaks to me He speaks through His Word. This might be as I read and meditate upon the Word or when I listen to or watch the Bible being expounded. This does not mean God cannot or may not speak in other ways, but these are chiefly […]
There are times when God brings someone or something across your pathway for a season or even for a few hours. Then this someone or something passes never to return again. Often this person or experience is to help us pray more, serve better or experience the power of God’s help in a way that […]
