Not About Being Independent
(Picture sourced from here) The general philosophy of this world is often about independence. We must be independent; we must stand on our own two feet; we must make things happen. But God says something different. Rather than be independent, we must come under His protection; under His wing; and find our shelter there. And …
Today’s Christian Doing Spiritual Warfare
A Christian man woke up on a Saturday morning and decided to take a ‘prayer walk’ down the road. He got dressed, grabbed his Bible and a few things and quickly set out. It was a beautifully crisp autumn morning. “Oh Lord, please give me opportunities to share your goodness and your Gospel with the …

I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
All Those Sins are Washed Away
One of the hardest things to believe in Christianity is that, quite simply, all our sins are forgiven and washed away through simply asking God to forgive us. We complicate this endlessly. But the Bible is emphatic — our sins are washed away by the blood of the Lamb. If they are washed away when …

(The Resurrection of Christ by Irina Kolbneva, see www.arthit.ru) Eph 1: “…what is the immeasurable greatness of his power to us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ [Messiah] when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, …
Why Freedom of Speech and Politics is Spiritual
In my #SpeakZA post from yesterday I mentioned that the topic of freedom of speech and press was, in my view, a ‘spiritual’ topic as much as any. I thought I would make it clear why I believe that. Some people might find such a statement unusual, others will agree with me, so this is …
RE: Foundation. Very Exciting! Living the Gospel, Man.
I might do a little work for the RE-Foundation, in terms of writing the content for its website.

In wars people get burned, have ligaments crushed, and all sorts of terrible …
