So often people say – Thank God. Which God? Do they know Him and do they know what He can do? More often than not, it is non-Christians who say it, especially in relief when something unexpectedly turns out for good. The same people smoothly dish out the blame onto the same God for everything…

28. Stand – firm, courageous and victorious.
We are daily bombarded by so much. We have more sources of information and entertainment at our fingertips than at any time in the history of mankind. We know so much of the bad and the horrific in the world, both domestic and international through as much news as we can absorb. We can be…
27. Walk with heaven in your step.
Sitting down in the presence of our Father is the best ever place to be in this life. We are fully protected, cared for and loved in the shadow of the Almighty and the secret place of the Most High. [Psalm 91] However, life demands action. We are purposed beings, living and breathing, going somewhere,…
26. Our perfect host – come and sit.
We are so self-sufficient. We care for ourselves, we have access to food and drink and entertainment on an individual, my-choice-above-all basis. We live alone, by choice or necessity. We control the community in which we live at arms length so that nothing and nobody enter into our space except by invitation, when it is…
25. It’s not easy – let’s do this.
Life is hard, unfair and sometimes overwhelming. Do not be discouraged. Be strong and very brave says the Lord to Joshua before Jericho and the Jordan in flood. [Joshua1] You can do it, even if it looks impossible. God calls us to greater works and impossible tasks. John 14:12: “Most assuredly, I say to you,…

The glitzy parties ooze expectation, and unavoidably disappointment. For…
23. Check the cartridge.
How could we ever measure love? Is it an all or nothing, a little bit when things are rough and a lot when we feel accepted and valued? We are studying the role of the Holy Spirit in our life and learning the immeasurable love of God by realizing the riches of His glory in…
22. Where is your God?
Post modern people sneer at believers. They rant about alleged inconsistencies in the Bible and nurse their bitterness about church hurt and disappointment with God. They cling to a twisted perception of what God should be in their unchallenged, intellectual approach to things unseen, beyond the realms of the mind. Christians rarely have the answers…
21. This amazing power…
Welcome back Pebble pals. We are still celebrating Pentecost, the Feast of the first fruits of the harvest fifty days after Easter. It is a time to be aware of the amazing power given those who wait on the promise of the Holy Spirit. Spiritual ghosts are dangerous. Paul warns us in the book of…
20. New and newer – a complete makeover.
In the northern hemisphere spring is in the air. It seems like a fresh green mist covers the trees and bulging bulbs promise beauty and colour in expectation of the warmer days to come. Renewal is clear in the seasonal change. The season blooms in assurance of the promise of Genesis 8:22: While the earth…
