John made a point when he wrote about eternal life, and we follow him. My son had the privilege of participating in the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii. It was a great honour to represent his country in his age group. He trained hard. Two sessions a day for almost a year. His coach […]
Read moreI am grateful that during my farming years, I realised what a great advantage it was to be able to live in a house on the farm as part of my salary. Our friends were not so lucky and had to pay a lot of rent every month just to have a roof over their […]
Read moreIf I had to come back to earth one day and choose a different career, I would most likely study engineering. I love processes. Bottlenecks and problems attract me like a magnet. I can stand for hours and consider different solutions until I finally come up with one that I think will work. Then, I […]
Read moreI watched a moving video about Welcome Witbooi. His story is not intended for sensitive viewers or readers. Many considered the life he was living very dark, and that probably is a good thing. He was part of the “Numbers” gang in prison. He was high up in the organisation, a general. But his ascent […]

Normally a family provides a safe space where you’re taught how to navigate the world. It often provides you with a springboard to jump into life. Some families equip their children with […]
Read moreThe summary of The Law says that we must love God with all our heart and soul and strength and mind. With our whole being and with everything in us, we must serve God. There should not be even a small part of us that is not dedicated to God. The terms heart and mind […]
Read moreI’m a visual person and love to construct my own stories. Often, I want to be a fly against the wall to witness the birth of something big. I would rather wish to be in God’s meeting room when man’s salvation was planned. It was God’s overflowing love for mankind who set everything in motion. […]
Read moreMany people don’t understand God’s grace. We live in a world where you have to work for everything you want, and we don’t understand that we receive grace for free.
