Are You Ready to Discover More of Jesus? Part 1 focused on the title and aspect of Jesus as the Word of God. Shortly after posting, a number of Scriptures came to mind in relation to this, which led me to read through Psalm 119. As I meditated on that Psalm, I could see Jesus, the Word of God, everywhere. For example, Your word, O LORD, is everlasting; it is firmly fixed in the heavens. (Ps 119: 89) Your word…
Why did God limit food for the Israelites (manna and quail) while they were in the wilderness? Because this was a time of testing. Nothing tests us quite like a restriction on our dietary intake. Take fasting, as the perfect example. When we fast for the Lord, we go through many phases, and depending on the length of the fast, we will go in and out of these phases. I’m sure there are others you could think of to add…

Several years back, I was desperate to express how things had changed in my heart due to the revelation of Christ in me. I struggled to find the words because sometimes words are just words. I so wanted to share with those I held dear, in the hope that they would realise the wonder of it all and discover along with me, that Christ is truly alive, that He’s not just religious jargon, and that regardless of much of the…
Even though my mother has dementia, there are certain events from her past that she has no problem remembering. Hearing God’s words is one of them. Having lived what she calls a ‘good Christian life’ in her own eyes, Mum went through some struggles in her late sixties, trying to understand those age-old questions common to us all, ‘Why, God? Why aren’t You doing anything?’ As she rattled off a list of all the things she had done for God,…
It’s been a while since my last post. Many things have changed in my life over the last number of months, but change is good, right? I remember being told by a school teacher when I was a child that the only things guaranteed in this life are change and taxes! Well, I was too young to understand the impact of either! I recall when we moved interstate, the strangeness of feeling positive and excited about the change and the…
Praise the Lord. How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and fitting to praise him! (Psalm 147:1 NASB) We have a wonderful Lord, worthy always of our praise! In a time when life is complex and difficult, and even matters of faith are getting confusing, it is important to be reminded of the simplicity and comfort of our faith. We need reminding again, of who is in charge. We need to see afresh, that our God,…
Exciting news! My first book, To the Young Believer, is about to launch in Africa, from Nairobi, Kenya. The launch will take place in mid-May, in the form of a Zoom interview with the team from CLC (Christian Literature Communications), of Nairobi, Kenya. I will be joining two other authors who will also be sharing their stories. It sounds like it is going to be a lot of fun! I will post a link for the interview in due course…
We are familiar with the verse in Romans 8:28; All things work for the good of those who love God and are called according to HIS PURPOSE. One of the results of the Covid 19 pandemic was the disruption to the mainstream church program. Christians worldwide were forced into lockdown and forbidden to meet as they usually would. Buildings were closed. Many dear fellow believers pressed against the government-enforced rules and continued trying to meet as they had been. Many were distraught…
