My Secret

,
"Do you have a secret? Do you promise not to tell?" goes the old Searchers song.  I have a secret that I want everyone to know - Jesus Christ is really alive and can change the heart of every person on this planet.  Somehow, it doesn't make…

Brokenness

, ,
God is the master potter.  We are the clay.  Sometimes we are broken inside but this can be mended as our lives can be remade by the master. When we realise our helplessness, then God can step in and do what no other can do.  He can release…

Greenhouses

,
"People who live in greenhouses can't afford to throw stones" is I think an accurate jingle that we hear bandied about sometimes - (please correct me if I have stated this inaccurately).  A greenhouse can be a warm, beautifully smelling home…

Brevity

, ,
Life for us humans is so incredibly short.  To think that the likes of Noah and his contemporaries lived hundreds and hundreds of years. Among them was Enoch who the Bible says walked with God and then was not because God took him (Genesis 5:24). …

Peace in our Time

, ,
Peace with God is the only answer. Our hearts have to have a complete change (that only God can do as we come to Jesus Christ) to enable the Prince of Peace to have his way. Otherwise individual opinions hold and, as everyone's differs, then people…

Surprised By Joy

, ,
Yes - a title for one of C.S. Lewis's books and a good read, too, but are we surprised when we have lots of joy? I am of the belief that we are meant to have joy continually for "the joy of the Lord is your strength" (Nehemiah 8:10)  and…

Righteousness Exalts A Nation

How God loves rightness even when we sinners are far from being righteous. However, the miracle is that Jesus Christ paid our price on the cross and when we come to him in humility and admit our faults, he washes us clean so that in his sight…

Being Available to God

,
We humans can have a grand idea about what God wants of us.  He simply wants us to be his servants so that we can do what he asks and be on call for whoever may need us as he leads us. When we become Christians we immediately are someone…
