In our weekly Bible study, we discuss Jesus calming the storm on the Sea of Galilee – a wonderful, well-known, and beloved story (Matthew 8:23-27). This event is so ingrained in our knowledge of the Gospels that it might be lost in over-familiarity. With each reading, we have the opportunity to dig deeper and see anew. Our…

232. We’ve got what it takes
I hear many people talking about the Second Coming. That is good. We are looking forward to another dimension of life where we van exchange this dispensation with something that might feel more real. However, we do not know when or how it will come. At the moment death is our only link with life after death. Despite surprising numbers…
230. Pray for the impossible
Don’t give up. Our God specializes in things thought impossible. Sing the song of Moses: “Who is like You, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like You, glorious in holiness, Fearful in praises, doing wonders? (Exodus 15) The immeasurable privilege to enter the throne room of the Most High God of the universe, by the Blood of Jesus, is unequaled on the list of human privileges that…
229. The pain-path becomes a praise-path
It could easily be misunderstood – praise and worship. Why on earth should a person praise the Lord? Does our sovereign, almighty, all-knowing, self-sufficient God need continuous praise and admiration? Of course not! He does not need any earthly words to execute his Will and Work. His Word put creation in place. How would the admiration of a mere mortal ever…
159. Speak to the mountain!
I thought I knew what grace meant. I have written about it. I know the Scriptures; I know this particular text in Zachariah – it is one of my favourites. I can just imagine the capstone; a beautiful stone-built arch with the miraculous word: grace carved out on it. It has to be the logo…
153. Supernatural and extraordinary – it is for me!
“He is not the soul of Nature, nor any part of Nature. He inhabits eternity: He dwells in a high and holy place: heaven is His throne, not his vehicle, earth is his footstool, not his vesture. One day he will dismantle both and make a new heaven and earth. He is not to be…
152. The arm of God.
“There comes a moment when people who have been dabbling in religion (man’s search for God) suddenly draw back. Supposing we really found Him? We never meant it to come to that! Worse still, supposing He had found us?” C.S. Lewis, Miracles. It is a most miraculous moment if you want it. The instant that time stands…
142. Miracle tree of God in action
[New Year 2019] The rhythm of nature and the certainty of the seasons are always a source of inspiration for me. There is so much of what we experience on a daily basis that encourages us to believe the Word of God with deep assurance. I have quoted Genesis 8:22 often. I am sure all…
94. Tabernacles, Temples, Cathedrals and Churches.
A trademark of life on earth is worship. Just think for a moment. All through history and all over the globe, places of worship are central to the culture and history of every nation on the face of the earth. Since ancient times, elaborate buildings and even natural wonders have been dedicated to gods and…
85. Word, Light, World, Darkness.
We have said it already. It is written in the volumes of history. His words stand firm and unchallenged. Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” (John 8:12) Many people have come and gone, claiming to be God, to be the Messiah, to…
