    Imprisoned and facing death, the aged warrior for Christ, the apostle Paul, presents his final instructions and counsel to the young pastor from Ephesus, his "son in the faith", Timothy.

    This second letter to Timothy is considered to be the last writing of the apostle Paul, composed around 67 A.D., from the confinement of Rome's infamous Mamertine Prison. He had been placed under arrest for the preaching of the Gospel and no doubt accused of insurrection for preaching that ...read more

    Freedom From Terror

    We read of the demon-possessed man in Mark 5:1-20 and the "Legion" of evil spirits that had tormented him until he was freed and redeemed by the Lord Jesus Christ. One can only imagine the impact of his powerful testimony.

    A couple of years ago, I teamed up with a brother in Christ to rewrite a small book he put together that covered the occult, demonic activity, the rise of satanic worship, and an example in Scripture of what he referred to as a "zombie". His definition was based on passages in Matthew ...read more

    Christians must guard what enters their minds to gain the benefit of God’s peace in their lives.

    In “How to Find Out Who You Are”, Nelson Price reports that 15 prominent college professors took this challenge: “If all the books on the art of moving human beings into action were condensed into one brief statement, what would that statement be?” The result of their deliberations was: What the ...read more

     | 6,568 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

    The Scriptures tell us, "Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring." (Proverbs 27:1). Too many people in these last days forget that they may not have tomorrow. The time to be prepared to meet God is now.

    All of us at one time have put things off until the last minute, such as the writing of a research paper for school or studying for exams. We put off important decisions at our place of work, or filing tax returns, buying your family Christmas presents on or near Christmas Eve, or asking that ...read more
