Just because you feel you are being punished, or some misfortune comes your way, does not mean God’s grace has run out on you! After I had preached today, an elderly brother was telling me that he had had a particularly bad week. He described how some people, although having been under the Word for […]
You might know the song … “God is good (all the time); And all the time (God is good)”. Those statements are true all the time. God is always good, not just in His being but in the way He cares for and provides for all people, especially His people. I have said it many times […]
There are two main types of anger. The first is sinful anger. This is when we sin whilst angry and are angry when we sin. Generally, virtually all anger is sinful. The other anger is righteous anger.

They might be disobedient and continue to rebel against your prior instructions with reference to the morality of the family values you set in place. Then suddenly you put your foot down and issue […]
I am sure you been in or are in a Church where the Gospel takes center stage. Some people don’t like to hear the Gospel presented, although in different ways, week after week. They can’t understand that believers are motivated and spurred on to love Jesus more and more and serve Him better because of […]
Revival times come in many ways with one common ingredient. That ingredient is the conviction of sin. Believers are so convicted that they mourn for holiness. Unbelievers are convicted leading to sorrow for their sin and being saved. When the Holy Spirit arrives upon a community, there is a sudden urgency … almost like an […]
