Although it rained and hailed late yesterday afternoon, I took a little time out this afternoon to water the garden. I run two hoses as we have a borehole. Whilst the one hose runs a sprayer for the lawns, I hold the other to water the pots and garden. You might recall me saying I […]
Fridays are normally garden days, but due to other things I decided to leave the garden for Saturday, yet the way Saturday panned out it never happened. So … because yesterday was Human Rights Day in remembrance of the Sharpeville Massacre in 1960 … and because today (Monday) is a Public Holiday … it was […]
We live in a world and age where most evangelical Christians are aware that there are some serious false prophets and teachers out there. However, this is not a new or Twenty-First Century phenomenon. As you read our Father’s Holy Word, He tells us of fake spiritual leaders and teachers that abounded in the days […]
Titles and positions have their place, as do superiority and subordination. I was busy in the kitchen yesterday with the radio on. I’m not sure what the discussion topic was, but someone called in saying that they detest the craving for power by some in positions of authority. The example he used was working for […]
Our opposite neighbour told me early in the week that he and his wife were going away for the long weekend (this one). Last night when I arrived home his caravan was outside the garage and he was sorting and packing to make certain he had all the right things they would need for the […]

Joh 14:18 “I will not leave you as […]
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” […]
