A brother recently sent me a text quoting Peter in 2 Peter 1:4 which reads; “…seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. 4 For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world…
Jesus You fill me Like a childhood imaginary friend, Like a baby in its mother’s tummy, Like a newly acquired love interest that consumes my every waking moment You are with me, everywhere, always, Ever in my thoughts, Consciously present with me. I go to sleep and you are there I wake up and you are there Truly, as in the words of the Psalmist, Where can I go from Your Spirit? Where can I hide from Your love? You…
Dear brother or sister, Firstly, let me say; in this post, I am not condoning war, killing, or racism, and I am not pro any country over another or offering my opinion on military service. Having said that, I recently went and watched American Sniper; what a movie; what a story. In a nutshell and be it right or wrong, it is the true story of Chris Kyle who signed up to serve his country with a deep heart conviction that…
My sister is a writer – a beautiful screenwriter – a storyteller. We were talking about how nice it was to see credits on a new Aussie movie for “Written by….” which doesn’t often occur. In this conversation she told me there’s a saying in the film industry that goes like this: The director gets the money, the actor gets the fame, and the writer gets the blame. She spoke of the film writer as the unsung hero, and when…
Dear Brother or Sister, If you feel like you’re in a storm right now, here is a link to what seems to me to be a very anointed song by a dear sister in Christ and a dear friend of mine. The song will cost $1.79 AUS to purchase but I don’t post this to get sales for her (Kathy’s album has been out for over a year). Rather I post this in the hope that you will find great…
The tree needs branches to bear fruit A head needs a body to express itself God wants the church to express Himself Jesus is the image of the invisible God. He is the Tree of Life – The Vine tree. Jesus is the Head of His church. The church is the Body of Christ. Jesus said “I am the Vine, you are the branches”, Unless you remain in the vine you cannot bear fruit.
The other morning my husband Derek and I, sat down for our prayer time together which we do almost daily. These prayer times have become the backbone of our marriage and such a tremendous time of mutual edification in our faith-walk with the Lord together as we pursue His Eternal Purpose. I tell you this to give some context to Jesus’ sense of humour in what I experienced that morning. As we sat together I was battling internally with events from the night…
A few months back, a movie came out in the cinemas called ‘Into The Storm’, written by John Swetnam, and starring Richard Armitage. I couldn’t wait to see it on the big screen rather than on the television set at home. I didn’t expect it to be a Hollywood Blockbuster but I was really hoping the special effects would blow me away (no pun intended folks!). And I wasn’t disappointed!! For me, it was on par with ‘Twister’ that came out…
Until Christ is Formed in You There is a Christmas morn Celebrated each an’ every day When Christ the Saviour is born Not in feeding trough or hay But in hearts who choose, believing Having seen the Son of God Through faith in hearing, receiving The Life from up above That Life grows daily increasing In hearts of those now changed Ever fuller, deeper, wider None will ever be the same A will of our own no longer…
“Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it” (Mark 10:15). Even though I’m 47 years of age, I love this plate and I use it almost daily. I bought it myself a while back because being plastic, it doesn’t let my toast go cold! I bought it from the children’s products in the supermarket aisle……… yes, there is definitely a child in me who is alive and…
