It’s a very rainy day here today. I am enjoying the house we are living in because there’s no leaks when it rains. Also, inside the house there are no spiders, spider webs, no cockroaches, no bugs, no ants or creepy crawlies. So this tells me the house is tight and secure. With some large glass windows in our sitting area, it is a joy to see the rain outside pounding against the glass, to see the wind blowing in the trees and…
In the children’s animation movie ‘Moana’ there are a number of very powerful scenes that if you look behind what you’re seeing on the screen, you can see something of the Spirit realm to which you and I belong. Of-course, these are only shadows & types. One scene that really spoke to me was concerning Moana’s ancestors. Her ancestors were voyagers, you see. However, over time her people had decided to remain safe and no longer would venture out past…
Once we were slaves to sin and to this world. We were born into sin. We were enslaved, in bondage, held as captives and unable to free ourselves. But 2000 years ago a man who was both Son of Man and Son of God, came to us and set us free. He loosed our chains; they fell off. He broke off our shackles. He washed us clean and healed our wounds. He removed the veil from our eyes. Then He said to us…
“Come now, let us settle the matter,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool (Isaiah 1:18, NIV). Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you unblemished in His glorious presence, with great joy–(Jude 1:24 Berean version). Let us rejoice and celebrate and give Him the glory. For the marriage of the Lamb…
For some of us, our life decisions can lead us down a path we didn’t really want to go and to a destination we didn’t want. A decision to take that job, move to that area, date that person, eat that kind of food, live that kind of lifestyle, hang out with those kind of people – these decisions can take us on a path that can leave us feeling lost or confused, disappointed or frustrated or much worse. We can…
Sorry I’ve been quiet for a couple of weeks but we’ve had two different families from NSW staying with us over the last two long weekends for Easter and now Anzac Day. We’ve had an awesome time and have been kept very busy with site-seeing, hanging out, walking the dog and entertaining the kids, and lots of eating! However, I wanted to post my final contribution to the 3rdrace.org series on the Lord’s Eternal Purpose, which for the month…
…For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God (Colossians 3:3) Recently I saw the movie titled “Hidden Figures”. (Picture provided by Google Images). The synopsis as described on google reads; Three female African-American mathematicians provide crucial calculations for NASA’s space race against the Soviets, all while dealing with the racist and sexist assumptions of their white co-workers. It is a truly moving and inspiring account of the achievements that each of these…
Jesus never tried to hide who He was, what He had said or done or to hide anything at all about His life. He lived a completely transparent life despite the ramifications. And we know He certainly bore some ramifications. I believe transparency is very important to God because it is part of His character. It’s a reflection of who He is. Here’s a little story for you that brought me to a deeper understanding of this characteristic of God’s and…

With so many churches doing so much great stuff, why are still so many souls so hungry for the living Christ? Cheryl McGrath writes about this beautifully in this article from her blog “Bread for the Bride”. I pray that it touches you.
