Progressing in Christ
Recently I grew some tulips in a pot… it was a new venture into the world of bulbs. It of course involved selecting a good-sized pot, adding potting mix and placing the bulbs at the right depth. Then, wait for tulips come springtime. Springtime is that season when flowers seem to appear out of nowhere…

Dialoguing with God.
There is an expression that has become quite popular in the political sphere and everyday life in general. It can be stated like this, ‘We need to have a conversation’. It implies that a subject or issue needs more discussion with a view to resolving the relevant aspects and determining the way forward. As Christians…

Don’t be half cooked!
Looking back on our Christian lives there are times we may well like to forget… times when we struggled with our faith, but God brought us through. But what we overlook, is the fact that God was working in our lives, developing our spiritual character. Better to be cooked than half cooked! Better to be…

JESUS CHRIST ‘Central Station’
Central Stations can be impressive, quite often with huge spacious entrance halls. There are clocks and indicators with crowds of people heading off in different directions. There are the metro trains with their underground networks, and there are the country tracks heading off to far away locations. It is a central hub, pulsing with the…

God wants you to PROSPER!
There is something strong and solid about the mountains… it is that feeling of elevation too, as we sense a separation from the world below.

Heaven is waiting for those who will start praising God for who He is… the creator of heaven and earth, the creator of mankind and all creatures great and small. Our praise touches heaven itself! In Revelation 4:11 we read about twenty-four elders who fell down before the throne of God in total worship of…

MERCY!
The rose is said to be a floral symbol of God’s mercy, but what actually is mercy.? It is a word that sits at the core of Christian theology, and we can trace its usage back to the MERCY SEAT, which was situated in the Holy of Holies, the inner sanctuary of the Hebrew Tabernacle.…

Confess Healing!
Mention confession and we may think of going to church and confessing our sins in the liturgy of the Eucharist. Of course, confessing sin is an important part of our Christian lives. But there is another confession! In life, what we say has consequences, even God’s Word says that life and death are in the…

GOD IS GOOD!
There seems to be a negative part of human nature which accepts that things will go wrong in life. At the same time, we all want good things to happen to us. Sometimes people say… “Nothing good ever happens to me”…. yet God is good! For a moment consider the Israelites who had been delivered…

Jesus our Companion!
I was wanting to select an image which would convey the meaning of belonging to Jesus Christ… nothing seemed to jell. Perhaps for this reason, that no image can fully portray the reality of the relationship we have and experience in Him. The relationship we have with other Christians is fellowship and comes from the…
