What motivates us?
Tuesday, November 01, 2011
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you have had to help another person?
Maybe someone has had a fall and you were the closest person or maybe you were
with someone when they received some bad news. For most people, an immediate
response will be to reach out and help. A hug or a touch of comfort to a distressed
person is usually our first response. Read More

Still Following Jesus
Tuesday, October 18, 2011
We commented in our last blog that this young ruler was earnest in his desire for eternal life.
Unfortunately, he saw eternal life as an insurance policy for the
hereafter. He had everything under control in this life and he didn't
want to change that; he merely wanted to secure the eternal aspect of
his life. He was actually seeking God not to have a relationship but to
just cover all his bases. How common is this attitude in the world?
Jesus says to this man "if you want to enter life, obey the
commandments." Read More

Following Jesus
Tuesday, October 11, 2011
Their was a man in the bible who literally ran to the feet of Jesus begging him to know what he had to do to gain eternal life. We may never have had that experience happen to us, usually if we are the ones who are seeking out people with whom we can share the gospel. This man is described as being rich, young and a ruler. In his eyes, and in the culture of the day, he was seen to be blessed of God. However, even though he possessed everything in a material sense, he knew he did not possess eternal life. He came to Jesus, a rabbi (teacher) and a man recognised as coming from God and asked a question that many people ask, " what good thing must I do to gain eternal life?". Read More

God tests the heart
Tuesday, August 02, 2011
A few months ago my doctor referred me to a cardiologist for a stress test. As my previous stress test nearly killed me (I was totally unfit), I decided to delay the test for a month and prepare. This preparation consisted of countless mornings on the treadmill watching the monitors, checking my heart rate till I knew I would make it through the test in one piece. Read More

Prophecy for Peninsula
Wednesday, July 13, 2011
I received this word at the Ken Fish conference at Peninsula Vineyard on the 28th May 2011. The word seemed to parallel the natural disasters that were happening around the world at that time. The tsunami wave that hit Japan, the earthquake that destroyed Christchurch and the cyclones and floods that swept over Queensland. Read More

How shrewd are you?
Thursday, June 09, 2011
In Luke 16, Jesus shares a story with His disciples about a dishonest manager. This man
was not using his managerial gifting to his masters advantage but rather had been embezzling his masters wealth for his own gain. Read More

Thursday, June 02, 2011
The apostle Paul tells us that we need to walk by faith and not by sight. In our daily walk we walk by faith in His revealed will; the principles and commands of the bible. Read More

Moving from a place of Defeat to Victory
Thursday, May 12, 2011
I spoke previously about spiritual insanity and we saw that this keeps us in a cycle of
defeat and frustration. God, however, wants to take us from defeat to victory. He does this
in four steps. Read More

Spiritual Insanity
Monday, May 09, 2011
We have all heard the definition of insanity as someone doing the same thing over
and over again and expecting a different result. Well, there is a spiritual equivalent.
Spiritual insanity is having a sin or character flaw exposed over and over through
life's circumstances but refusing to do anything about it. Read More

Are you going to the royal marriage supper ?
Saturday, April 30, 2011
I must admit that I sat through the wedding ceremony of William and Kate from the walk down
the aisle to the last kiss and as I write this, the party is still in progress. Unfortunately I was
not on the invitation list to the ceremony, or more importantly, to the post wedding party. Read More
