The Jouney
haveI have been a Christian or Born Again Believer for more than 50 years. It is therefore normal to believe that I have had my fair share of battles with sin, problems in general, and disillusionment with life in general. At least, I am very secure in the fact that I...
2.How to Truly Love
Can we say that people speak different love languages? In the final instance it matters less what you say or do to/for a person or what you give them than how you make them feel. If you give someone salt for his coffee, he is going to feel you don't care about him and...
1.How to Truly Love
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second IS LIKE IT: You shall love your neighbour as yourself. (NKJV) Matthew 22:37-39 (MSG) Joh 13:35 This is how...
How did I get here?
How have I become Who I am? It is a common thought that we are the total of our choices but are we happy, or do you have some regrets? If you have regrets, please read on. To put this in perspective, let's look at someone else first. After all, it is a lot easier to...
Does God protect us against unfairness?
This sounds like such a silly question. In my mind, my God is the God of the universe and He can protect me against anything!I was recently confronted with an extremely unfair situation in which I was so sure God was going to deliver me. I even had a versePro 21:22...
Why do “God Ideas” fail?
I think a lot has been said about a Good Idea vs a God Idea. So often we see someone's good idea fail and then we argue that the reason it failed, was because the person just started something but never consulted God first so now it failed because it was not a God...
2.Be ‘Awake’ to handle the Next Event
Does the next event not describe a very familiar situation? Act 3:1 Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.Yes, we are often busy with the Lord's work when we are interrupted by 'unplanned' events.Act 3:2 And a...
1.Be ‘Awake’ to handle the Next Event
We are often not in control of the next event. It often happens even when we've been careful to plan the process. So, although we are not always in control of situations around us or the way other people will behave, we are ALWAYS in control of our reaction to those...
1.Be Kind
What does it even mean to be Kind? Is that simply to be 'Nice'? Does it mean I must be the 'door mat' no matter what? Let's start with a dictionary definition for Kindness as a Noun : 'the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate.' The principle to 'Be...
2.Values and Principles – The Golden Rule
"What is the Golden Rule?" Matthew 7:12 (NLT) “Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets. The “Golden Rule” is the name given by Bible translators to a principle Jesus taught. The...
1.Values and Principles
We often try to box the expected behaviour of our fellow men into a couple of Do's and Don'ts and also attempt to raise our children accordingly. We train them with phrases like 'This is how our Family behaves'. I actually gave each of my Children an A4 sheet filled...
Impact
We all want to be winners, right? We will all be winners if we are simply doing what we were designed to do. This is so obvious: the best Screwdriver is one who behaves like a Screwdriver and is willing to be used by the Master's Hand to do exactly what it...
2.What is your Legacy?
Did you get the feeling I wanted to say more in the previous Post on Legacy? You are right and here is Part2. I believe most Men miss the boat totally when it comes to this. We are so concerned with our Jobs and making Money that we miss the whole purpose....
1.What is your Legacy?
How do you want to be remembered one day? Isn't it amazing how certain character traits run in families? People in such a family are often quite proud of the fact that they are stubborn or as they call it 'strong willed'. In other cases they actually use their family...
A different spin on the Red Sea story
I recently started enjoying God in a brand new way by looking at situations from His perspective. Now I hope this does not sound disrespectful because I don't intend it that way at all because I love and respect Him so much. My question is why did God not just...
The Tree and the Toy Box Part 2 – Your part
God says He will provide food for the birds but He does not throw it into their nests. Mat 6:26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? • If your...
The Tree and the Toy Box – Part 3 – Your Dreams…
However, sometimes God wants you to attempt something different – like a Tree that needs to grow. Psa 1:3 He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does...
The Tree and the Toy Box – Part 1 – God’s Promises
Getting direction from God is the same as a dad watching a kid playing with his toys. • Whatever is in his room, is supposed to be for him to play with. • If he comes to his dad with every little thing and asks: “Daddy, do you want me to play with the red or green...
A different perspective
Have you ever thought God is weird when He allows us to go through difficult times? Have you often wondered where God was when you really needed Him? Have you often wondered how God could 'allow' that? The other night I was watching "Touched by an Angel" and saw a...
Be Satisfied
Heb 13:5 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU." This must be one of the toughest things in life to achieve. If you look at the opposite, however, try to...
