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 […]

Relationship barometer

Relationships are very important. When relationships aren’t doing well, your sense of stability and happiness is inevitably compromised. You don’t feel like getting up and just don’t have the strength to take on any challenges.  Relationships often act as a barometer and quickly show the world how things are going between you and God. I […]

Faith that is shaken

It’s getting harder and harder to believe. The smarter humans become, the more they get to know science, the deeper they dig into the mighty universe, the greater the challenge to believe like a child.  Jesus said we must believe like children again to inherit eternal life. When the knowledgeable people investigate God’s Word it […]

Just keep believing

Sometimes I wonder if God and Jesus are real. Yes, sometimes I’m overcome with doubt and then I wonder. But then I think to myself that my father and all the other great theologians would certainly not have missed the mark.  Then I pity people who don’t believe. One day they will get such a […]

Light in the darkness

I was sitting on the platform with my station master friend. He is forthright and calls a spade a spade.

Live with an open door

I knew nothing about IT. I knew even less about websites, but when we started Crossroads247 online ministry, I realised I would have to learn about it because it’s my pulpit.  It took many hours of research. I made many mistakes and kicked closed doors many times. I simply knew too little to make things […]

I believe in praying blessings

If someone told you that they believed in how wonderful a specific product was, but they haven’t used the product to experience how wonderful it was, would you buy the product? I think not.  I believe in prayer. I really believe in prayer because I repeatedly experience the effect of prayer in my life. But […]

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 […]

When the foundations of your faith are shaken

In 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 […]
