    We have all sinned. We’re all displeased by sin, and that disease is fatal. Perhaps these are some of the same things that drove this young ruler in the Bible to seek advice and counsel from Jesus Christ.

    What are people looking for? The same as young man in the Bible. There is a restless among people, especially among youth today; there’s a feeling of emptiness and dependency, a sense of guilt. There’s a strong desire for an ideology that will give meaning to our existence. We have all sinned. ...read more

    Funeral Service for a 4 year old child, who was buried in a Natural Burial Site, after a long battle with an agressive cancer.

This would be quite unfair to XXXXXX. We don’t speak in the same way of a new blade of wheat: we appreciate it for what it is – a ...read more
