To believe
23Again, this is God’s command: to believe in His personally named Son, Jesus Christ. The biggest thing God asks of us, the most important rule for everyone, is to believe in Jesus Christ. We must believe that Jesus is the Son of God and that God chose Him to die for the sins of all […]

Remember: God walks with you
Maintaining a strong faith can be a challenge to us all and we can associate with Christine’s (not her real name) story: Since my dad passed away, I’ve struggled terribly with my faith. I began to doubt whether the Lord sees and hears people. So, I was sitting at home tonight and heard my teenage […]

Buying on Gumtree sight unseen
I am an ardent Gumtree fan. For those of you who don’t know, it’s an online platform where you can buy and sell things. I’ve bought and sold many things on Gumtree. The drone that we use to record material for our YouTube sermons had to be replaced. We then received a substantial donation from […]

An example of faith
When I’m struggling because some hardship has befallen me, I’m tempted to ask why and I want to cover myself in sackcloth and ashes. I first look around and see that many people are much worse off than I am. They even manage to smile and their faith keeps them going. Leon (not his real […]

Test of faith
The factory where I worked manufactured polymer products. To put it simply, resin, silica sand and calcium carbonate are mixed to form an exceptionally hard product. Every week, we sent a small block to Stellenbosch University to test the compressive strength. Extreme pressure is put on the block and when the block breaks into a […]

Hope keeps you up; doubt makes you sink
I’ve never been a fan of the beach. My mom says that when I was a baby, I didn’t like touching the sand. If she tried to put me down, I immediately started crying and pulled up my legs. My dad always said the sea made him feel sticky and actually only went to the […]

Serve 100%
Of all the books in the Bible, James is my favourite. Probably because it contains such practical, I could even say down to earth guidelines, to help one live right. If you want to know what a Christian should do, if you want to know what your life should look like each day here on […]
