An expanding Church!
One of the most encouraging things about the Christian Church is the fact that it continues to expand. You may belong to a small gathering of believers that meet in a small building, or you may attend a mega church which has hundreds of worshippers. But we all make up and are a part of…

A Fireside Chat
A chat around the fireside is often an informal time of sharing personal experiences. Not getting too serious, certainly not arguing but a relaxing time of conversation about life. President Roosvelt liked to think of the audience as a few people seated around his fireside. So, let’s have a casual fireside chat about things relevant…

Does God want you to be rich?
Essentially… YES! However, there is a requirement that one should be generous to others. It is good to remember that you can’t outgive God, so be rich toward others and God will be rich toward you. There is a principle here of reciprocity where we get back what we give out. It can be negative;…

D’ont let the Fire go out!
There’s nothing worse than a fire that has gone out; just grey ash, charred wood, and maybe some lukewarm coals. The chance of the fire coming back to life is remote, short of a fresh start with kindling and paper… and the house is cold! When John the Baptist spoke about the Baptism with the…

Continuing in Christ!
I’m reminded of the Marathon race in the Olympic Games… it is long, but still important for each competitor to finish and enter the Stadium. Our Christian lives can be likened to a marathon; a race which is long and demands our total commitment to hang in there. It is so important to CONTINUE IN…

Maintaining inner peace!
As Christians we have a permanent relationship of peace with God. This is because Jesus Christ secured it when he gave his life on our behalf to reconcile us to God. We now have continual fellowship with the Father and His Son. However, there will still be times when our feelings seem to tell us…

BOUGHT BY GOD
Have you ever considered that God actually purchases things. Well it’s true, and when He does He pays the purchase price. Of course you guessed it, I’m talking about God buying us back as His possession. As a young man growing up I was fashion conscious and no different to the other guys. You had…

Working with God
When we become Christians there is that initial time of understanding our new found faith. But believe it or not we have immediately joined God’s work force and He has very important things for each of us to do. as we live our lives. I clearly recall an incident when holidaying down the beach. As…
