    Our physical eyes and other human faculties tend to perceive only the wonder of the physical creation; but, even from the beginning, if we have the spiritual eyes to see, we can already admire the Splendour of God!

    “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, ‘Let there be light’; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; ...read more

    some aspects of God’s specific purpose for your life and how He works to fulfill that purpose.

    What treasure are you collecting, is it the wealth of this world or heaven

    In this world of sin it is easy to get our values distorted. The things that appeal to our carnal natures seem worth striving for, but they are in fact like a mirage in the desert. Property, money, material possessions, or a large bank account seem to give us security, but it is all a bubble dream. ...read more
