Live Now…
“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” Is. 43:18-19 “So, don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble…

God – A Man?
“Jesus came to die for my sins” – we have heard the expression many times – so many times, that I think it has begun to sound a bit like a ‘stuck record’. After hearing these words so many times, they seem to have lost their power. They don’t seem to cut as deeply into…

De Profundis…..
From the depths of despair, O LORD, I call for your help. Hear my cry, O Lord. Pay attention to my prayer. LORD, if you kept a record of our sins, who, O Lord, could ever survive? But you offer forgiveness, that we might learn to fear you. I am counting on the LORD; yes,…

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a Living Soul. As usual in my walk with the Lord, I have often read scriptures and not really thought very deeply about them. It’s amazing how we can read…

Mission Malawi – Chapter 23
September 1996 We now find ourselves preparing to go back to Joburg to see what the Lord will have for us. In the natural, we have nothing to go back to. No place to live, no work and once we arrive back in Johannesburg, we will have no money. Well, one thing we have learnt…

Our daily Garden
As we travel along our daily road of life, we can find ourselves, broadly speaking, in one of two states of mind – filled with fear and anxiety or abiding in the peace of the Lord. Let us imagine walking into a neatly laid out vegetable garden. The rows of plants are straight, and access…

My Armour or God’s Armour?
How many times do we feel that we have need to go out and ‘fight the good fight? How many times do we feel that if we don’t go out and fight the good fight, we will be disappointing God? How much of our own strength can we commit to this task when we have…
