This really illustrates the point of God’s Provision and how He works through us. I go to the grocery store and get a pie. You will have to try which one works best for you. I like to use apple or the frozen kind that leaves lots of left over crumbs and pieces in the bottom of the pan.

I was reading a book called "Scared" the other day by Ken Davis. It is the story about a journalist in Africa and his encounter with an orphan girl who is starving. Although it is a novel, as I sat in the loungeroom reading, I felt a deep sorrow for the tragedy of her situation, and I could not

At the spiritual level, planning means taking the initiative. It’s not about sitting around until you are absolutely certain God is calling you to a particular task, direction, country, or ministry. Nor is it waiting for the doors to open so you can go there easily. Planning is an act of faith.

Collin was 5. As a disciplinary measure, his folks sent him to his room. “Stay there until you are ready to act right”, they said. After 20 minutes, Collin reappeared.
“I have 2 things to say,” he announced, “Number one – on one ever comes into my

Quote: Arthur Pink declares, “Any preacher who rejects God’s law, who denies repentance to be a condition of salvation, who assures the giddy and godless that they are loved by God, who declares that saving faith is nothing more than an act of the will which every person has the power to perform is

The great divide between Jew and Gentile was symbolized by the wall in Herod’s Temple that separated the outer court of the Gentiles from the inner Courts of Israel. Gates leading into those inner precincts were posted with signs warning that Gentile trespassers would be killed. In fact, the Book

"Friends and foes, chief priests in hate, Pilate in mockery, angels in adoration, disciples in love, Christ himself in lowliness (Acts 22:8), and now the multitudes in simplicity, all proclaim him 'of Nazareth.'

HEROIC VIRTUE
St. Maximilian Kolbe, languishing in a Nazi prison camp, offered his life for a man who was condemned to death. Even the religious world would counsel against this act as rash. After all, a priest is more valuable to the kingdom of God than any layperson, right? But God’s

I remember stealing a bag of lollies from a shopping centre as a kid. I would have done it again and again, except the guilt of that act stayed with me for years. I regretted being so dishonest. All of us have broken the 10 commandments in our lives. In fact the NT

These are those hard moments when God does things we do not understand. We cannot figure them out...Yet what they reveal is how little we understand. It is God who is the realist. He never deceives himself. He always acts in perfect accord with what the situation

I love Baptisms. I always love it when people respond to Jesus in this way.
I remember as a TEENAGER
seeing people from our YOUTH GROUP
being BAPTISED in a BAPTISMAL POOL
at the FRONT of our Church.
It was so STRANGE to me.
I watched as people WALKED DOWN THE STEPS
of a SMALL POOL at

WHY CIRCUMCISION? Why not a tattoo on the arm or something similar? Circumcision was a hidden sign. It seems to me it has something to do with the promise of Abraham having many descendants, being fruitful and multiplying. The sign reaffirms God's promise right at the very place where the sexual

Dr. S. Lewis Johnson, a noted New Testament scholar, tells of his visit in Britain, where he observed that British people love dogs as their pets. During his stay he noticed three kinds of dogs which he relates to people in reference to freedom.
The first are those dogs who have law but no freedom.
