    God wants Christian husbands to be gentle initiators and Christian wives to be confident responders. Yes, this often – though not always -- makes for a better marriage; but it is first and foremost God’s revealed will.

    Man and Wife or Spouse and Strife? (I Peter 3:1-7) 1. Marriage bears the brunt of a lot of humor. 2. Attending a wedding for the first time, a little girl whispered to her mother, "Why is the bride dressed in white?" ? "Because white is the color of happiness, and today is the ...read more

    A short talk given on Mothering Sunday to a Church full of visitors, hence the gentle nature of the talk. God loves mothers, and he calls us to pass on the comfort that he gives to us.

In a poll conducted by a market research company it was discovered that the most unpopular four-letter words amongst mothers are ‘cook’, ‘wash’, ‘iron’; and my favourite of all: ‘dust’. An old Jewish proverb says ...read more
