When life gets busy and the pressure is mounting, and your to do list is looking like it could take the next month to finish not the next day it can be hard to see God or know His presence. When some…

Before you preach
Let's face it, the bar is set pretty high for preachers. We can often have too high an expectation. When we realise they have faults and struggles like the rest of us it can be a shocking revelation.…

Dangerous Prayers
If God answers prayer (which He does by the way) then I've been looking through the Bible for the most dangerous prayers to pray. As I find them I shall add them here: #1: "SEARCH ME, O God, and know…

What about him, Lord?
I love the characters of the bible. They are there in black and white, warts and all. Their failings and their humanity for all to see. It's of great comfort to me as it shows me that God can use anyone,…

Loving the praise of man
I think people in general fall into 5 categories when it comes to faith. Some people, in fact many people, don't believe in God or put their trust in His son Jesus. They are clear about their lack of…

You can't teach me
Who can teach us about Jesus? Surely they need some formal education. Perhaps even to have gone to Bible College. Obviously they need to be living free from sin. Of course, they must posses some form…
