This is another good little thought about the preparation for “coming home”. I sense personally that what God tolerated in the past ill not be tolerated in the times ahead – the bride that is coming home has clean clothes, is without spot or wrinkle. She has purified herself. I remember at school receiving our exam results [...]

It’s one thing to enter the kingdom it’s another to inherit it. Entering through the gate of salvation takes us into the kingdom of God…but inheriting it and partaking in the kingdom of God is not the same. We inherit the kingdom only through trials, testing, endurance and the refining of fire until we reflect [...]

….it is too easy for a typical “westerner” to what we feel like. Sure there are tings we have to do but now more than any time in history we can seek pleasure… and there are so many pleasures readily available…. we can do what we feel like…. yet this is a snare waiting o [...]

This is my observation from going to church for the last 16 or so years. The problems I had, even though I didn’t know it was a problem at that time, were not unique to me (not always but often). At the time i thought I was isolated… but as I look back, it wasn’t just [...]

Last weekend I went on possibly the worlds best mountain biking trip through the Motatapu Gorge from Wanaka to Arrowtown – just out of Queenstown in the South Island of New Zealand – really beautiful. I started the race as a recreational rider, I quickly got competitive and cycled hard, I then exhausts myself and [...]
Many are called but few are choosen pt 2

It is God’s desire that all are saved – the interesting thing is that not all are called. I know that Matt 22 is referring to salvation and entering the kingdom of heaven. However I would like to look at this from the perspective of attaining to the high places in God. Once we are [...]
How can I know God 2

I cannot help but coming back to perseverance. This maybe “the key” or certainly one of the most important keys in knowing God. As a younger man I competed at the national athletic champs and at the end of the event people were chosen to represent their country at an international meet. I was chosen. I am [...]

Perseverance is a key ingredient in the knowing the presence of God. Our reward may well hang on the times we didn’t want to….

The Insanity of Christianity

I’ve been a Christian for a few years now and I’ve discovered a real dichotomy about having a relationship with God. You feel God pulling on your heart strings wanting you to come to Him and when you do and you start to abandon yourself to God the opposite to what you think would happen [...]
