Be prepared 

I 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, […]

Kick him on the nose

My 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 […]

Hammer the weak spot

The devil makes it difficult for a person. He knows where your weak point is and will always hammer it. He doesn’t stop, and he never gets tired. It’s as if he believes he will break through with the next knock of the hammer. We know that the devil was defeated on the cross. We […]

Flowers, butterflies and fruit

Let’s think about sin a little more. Maybe a topic that doesn’t get enough airtime, so to speak, especially because then everyone comes under the spotlight and the picture doesn’t look good. The daily temptations we have are powerless. Temptations cannot force us to think or do something. The picture of the scantily clad person […]

God never trips anybody up

When people suffer, their first instinct is to accuse someone or something else. It’s always someone else’s fault when I get into trouble. When there’s nobody or something else to blame for my troubles, we blame God. We feel sorry for ourselves and say we must’ve done something wrong and that’s why God is punishing […]

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 […]

With wisdom we can change our default

8 … be helpful, wise, fair, reverent … This is how all of us must be like. I struggle with “wise, fair, reverent”. God should’ve known what humans are like and that it is in our nature to go off course. Yes, it’s easy when things are going well, but when things don’t go the […]

Push against the wind

My friend from Durbanville calls me up. He is talking to a friend and they are wondering why Christians have to struggle so. Yes, they have enough to eat and drink and they are grateful for that, but sometimes it seems as if life is simply too hard. You struggle to keep everything going. So, […]

Watch out for the wolf in sheep’s clothing

When I was in the army, it was hard. I was part of the Mech Infantry Unit and big operations in which the enemy was attacked with a lot of force occurred regularly. Major energy was spent on planning these operations. Every division had to do specific tasks and everybody had to work together to […]

Don’t become too unconcerned

1 Corinthians 10:1-13 God’s children suffered badly in Egypt. They had to work as slaves and they had no say in what was going on. They prayed to God and begged to be saved from all the hardship. And He did! Through one miracle after another He helped them. The miracles didn’t stop. Through miracles […]
