The Autumn Statement

We can each trust God for all our needs that come from the past, the now or into the future. "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever." (Hebrews 13:8)  That's all we need to know. He doesn't lie and is utterly faithful.  What…

Stumbling

, ,
Have you ever stumbled in the dark? It's quite scary and gets us out of balance and we perceive strange things sometimes yet when, as Christians, we stumble it can be quite different. God is the master picker up of us. It's not a problem…

Exhausted

,
This was me yesterday! Had a whole day of rest and then wondered how to avoid this again.  I've been going at quite a pace as we probably all do at different times.  How I need the balance of recreation and fun and time off work to recuperate…

Yearning

Engagement

, ,
Are you married? Are you hoping to get married? Are you engaged? All are life changing questions. Can children experience engagement in a different way? Can they engage with God? I believe so and more importantly God has made provision for…
