Life is not easy. We all know that. We all have personal experience of that. Without the power and help of our Father and our Saviour Jesus Christ we have little hope. 18… May what our Master Jesus Christ gives freely be deeply and personally yours, my friends. Oh, yes! Mrs W shared a bit […]
Read moreMany times we read the Bible so quickly that we don’t really see all that is there. Often we just want to get to the end, and in the process we miss a lot. Take the third last verse of the whole Galatians letter: 16Peace and mercy on them! Paul speaks a blessing over the […]
Read moreI suspect I’m kind of a petrol head. Now and then I will sit glued to the box watching awestruck as they transform an old crock into a brand new flag ship vehicle. From crock to long, sleek, shiny car. When the owner sees it for the first time, his jaw nearly hits the ground. […]

Read moreWhat I do today has an impact on my road on the other side of the heavenly gates. A difficult statement, I know, so let me explain. If I understand the Bible correctly, there are courts in heaven. To me it kind of sounds like a court case that we all have to go through […]
Read moreOne of the biggest challenges for many parents is to teach their children to be grateful for all they have.
