How great is our Creator God

I was sitting next to a lagoon in the Southern Cape. At low tide, the lagoon empties almost completely, and with high tide, all that water runs back in again. A huge volume of water that empties in 6 hours and 12.5 minutes, and runs back in in the same amount of the time, controlled […]

Jesus and God together are a mean team

Recently I’ve been so amazed by the Bible, the Word of God. If it were the words of humans, it would no longer have existed. Other people would’ve explained what it meant and the words wouldn’t have had any meaning for others any more. But because God Himself was the Author, the words of the […]
