Ps 33 The LORD looks down from heaven and sees the whole human race. From his throne he observes all who live on the earth. He made their hearts, so he understands everything they do. The best-equipped army cannot save a king, nor is great strength enough to save a warrior. Don’t count on your [...]

This is patently obvious. I have changed my morning time direction oer the last several month to studing different topics in the bible – which has been facinating to say the least – the more I learn about the Bible, prophecy, the old testament shadows, the more I am utterly amazed. And subtly, ever so [...]
The Power of Communion

A quick thought for those who seek a closer, more more real and intimate walk with the Lord Jesus. We all go through seasons of plenty and seasons of famine – when we open our bibles and the word is alive and other times we wonder if God is actually around and has forgotten us. [...]

Ever stopped doing chores around the house for a while and then go back and look at it – there all of a sudden seems to be all sorts of problems that you never noticed that now need fixing and the more you look the more overwhelmed you get – that is what it was [...]

This is another thought that branches for from part 1 – our rank in the kingdom of God is not determined by our function, but by our love. We look at our church leaders and assume that they are called to x, y and z they are more important than others. Yes their responsibility is [...]

I had 2 people come up to yesterday and talk about new years resolutions. One of them suggested mine should be to get organised!! Which is sadly true! I have had it stirring in me for the last 6 months to make some resolutions, not just new years ones but life ones! When I was [...]
There is hope for the Samsons

When we compare the lives of Samson and Joseph if appears that we are looking at chalk and cheese. Samson is immoral and undisciplined, Jospeh is the picture of good morals and discipline. This is the thought and it only a quick one – Samson is still counted among the hall of famers and yet he [...]

I have asked this question many times. I have encountered many people who have asked this same question and grapple with this issue. And what is the answer? God just tell me. The answer is closer than we think, in fact it is very obvious. We are just a little too close to the action that [...]
How can I know God 5

I should have called these posts – how not to know God. I have been examining my life and the things that separate me from God – there are so many and yet there seems to only 1 way to know God. The path to destruction is wide but the way of eternity life is [...]
