In the old days, men wore their togs and played rugby. No one was really paid to do it, and it was a lot of fun. After the game, everyone would hang out together. Late at night, they would drive back home filled with satisfaction. The modern approach to sport is completely different. It is […]
Read moreI saw a video of a priest who said satan wasn’t fighting against Muhammed. He wasn’t fighting against Buddha, and even less against Krishna. He was only fighting against Jesus. Why? Because Jesus is the only One who conquered him! You see, the only problem satan has is Jesus Christ. Jesus conquered him and, therefore, […]
Read moreMaintaining 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 […]
Read moreIn the war between Israel and Hamas, who bears the brunt? The Palestinian Christians. Remember: Most Palestinians are Muslims. If a Muslim believes in Jesus as Saviour, they are summarily shunned by their families. So, they are actually the have-nots of the have-nots. Not only are they kicked out of their own families, but also […]
Read moreMy mentor always says that the first thing you must do daily is to seek stillness and talk to your Creator. I don’t always manage to do it right away. Sometimes I’m up too early and then I scroll through the day’s news to wake up. This morning, I was up again around 04:00 and […]

With the second temptation the devil told Jesus to jump from the church spire, because, he said: Matthew 4:6 … The Devil goaded him by quoting Psalm 91: “He has […]
Read moreEphesians 6:10-20 It’s not always easy to remain upright in the world out there. Temptations abound. Most of the time we don’t even realize it, because everyone does it. Actually, that’s the way life works. As if we do not go along, we’ll be the people who stand out and miss out on everything. But […]
Read morePeople don’t like it when we talk about the devil. It’s as if people are afraid to talk about him. Afraid that if we talk about him, we’ll leave an opening for him. But I think it is important that we know exactly who and what our biggest enemy is. I still remember my army […]
Read moreWe seldom talk about the devil. Many people are afraid of the devil. Many are so afraid that they don’t even want to talk about him. If someone mentions him, they quickly take their stuff and go somewhere else. Others say you shouldn’t mention the devil at all, because that gives him unnecessary honour. But […]
