Sometimes a journey does not pan out the way you would have liked it to. In the early 1990’s we travelled to Cape Town from Pretoria. There were six of us in a Mini Bus (like a taxi) traveling on the N1 towards Cape Town. Soon after entering into the Free State Province we were […]
If my memory serves me correctly, I shared a story on this platform a long time back about a man whom I knew reasonably well. Although not English, his English was impeccable. Although not educated he was extremely clever. Unable to take both children, his common law wife took one child and fled, escaping to […]
Have you ever been called a “Jesus freak” or that you “think you are holier than thou art”? I recall when I was converted to Jesus, some of those who were “previous friends” thought I had gone crazy. I would not hesitate to speak about the Lord Jesus to anyone, wherever it was. I had, […]
I really do not think there is a newspaper or broadcaster anywhere in the world that is able to distribute only good or positive news. Over the years I have referenced many (mostly) online newspapers from a variety of persuasions and have found that not one carries many good news stories because there are so […]
I have been discussing the urgency of evangelism and missions with a few brothers. I have found that when in South Africa I was able to be evangelistic in just about every environment I found myself in. Here in America it has been a great challenge. Most people are house bound. I have not been […]

Speaking against Christianity to people, soliciting them to join your “religion” or “organization” in itself is demonstrating opposition to the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. In looking back over my life when I was a […]
I was able to get away for a few hours yesterday to meet up with a pastor who heads up a Christian Ministry that seeks to teach Church leaders the skill of teaching others. We spoke about many things but soon we found that our doctrines and theology are the same and although he is […]
Many jokes surrounded Charles III’s coronation a few weeks ago in Britain. One was something like … “What a shame that he needs to wear his mother’s clothes”. This was in reference to that white fury robe he wore. The whole ceremony with all the parties cost the tax payer a staggering $125 million. (ABC […]
Second opinions are plentiful in our day. We do this when we question a surgeon’s opinion. We do this when we are disappointed with the results of an examination we wrote. We do this when we are unhappy when the preacher’s doctrines are not in agreement with our persuasion. As a pastor I sought the […]
Citizens seldom realize how busy their leaders are. Think of a president or a premier. People see them on TV or at functions and think their life is glamourous. Yet few are aware of their schedule each day. I recall a South African president saying he works 18 hours a day. I am sure this […]
