    Where Is Your Heart In Relation To The World? Series

    Contributed by Paddy Venner on Apr 28, 2009
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,990 views

    Greatly inspired by Brian Houston’s book ’For this I was born’, this series seeks to change our paradigms about where we are positioned in life, and to make us realise that we are all a strategic placement of God for a purpose and a function.

    • Every one of us will experience a sense of purpose and peace if we simply realised, and believed, that we are each a strategic placement, placed by God where He wants us, with whom He wants us, because of what He has planned for us. • God is big on positioning – Elisha was positioned for Elijah’s ...read more

    We are often like the character Humpty Dumpty. Peter was too.

    Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall, all the King’s horses and all the King’s men could not put Humpty Dumpty together again! There is more than a nursery rhyme there. It is a parable of life, its injuries and the failure of human effort alone. This is an EGGsample of ...read more

    Post Salvation Blues

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Jan 21, 2023
     | 1,115 views

    The greatest feeling of our life was the day we accepted Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior. That feeling doesn't last forever. We have to live in this sinful world. We all experience post salvation blues. The word of God can encourage us to overcome.

    Until a few years ago, the best way I know how to describe my Christian life was like that of a convict. A convict who has been pardoned. The cell door has been opened, but I was still living in a prison. There was no doubt in my mind that I had been pardoned and the door was open, so I was free to ...read more
