12 hours of Revelation The last 12 hours of my life has been rather strange, and by that I mean strange in a good way. Last night at worship team practise, a friend testified about what the Lord has been doing in his life the last 3 months, and how he just truly experienced God’s love for him. He has been turned into a...

Structure So, carrying on from my post the last 2 day, this will be the final instalment of my posts coming from my original post 3 Things The Church Could do different, IMO. So let me start off by saying that I love structure. I am the type of personality that does not make it, if there is not a logical plan in place...

Toe stepping John 2:13-22 (NIV) 13When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14In the temple courts he found men selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. 15So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple area, both sheep and...

Church Focus As I mentioned in my previous list post 3 Things the Church could do different, IMO I am now going to focus on the first thing, as promised. The bigger church, especially in South Africa, tends to focus on teaching the people that already come to church. With this I am not saying that all the people in the...

Nothing is impossible for God Last night, me and my wife finally got time to watch Facing the Giants, yes I know we are behind the times, but bear with me. While watching the movie, I continually caught myself thinking that they are pushing the workings of the Lord just a tad too far for me. Come on, how can all these things happen. The...

Extending you basic Faith What is your basic faith? Is it believing that God created the heavens and the earth, or is it believing that Jesus died for OUR sins on the cross, or is it simply believing that everything happened by chance and there is no eternity waiting for us? If your basic faith is the last one, I want to commend...

Faith Last night I had a humbling experience. During the course of yesterday I developed a serious stomach cramp and ache. I cannot figure out why this happened, but a few hours before leaving for church to do sound check (for worship) I was lying on the ground in a small curled up ball. When we arrived at...

Touching the finger of God Hebrews 11:6 (The Message) It’s impossible to please God apart from faith. And why? Because anyone who wants to approach God must believe both that he exists and that he cares enough to respond to those who seek him. Yesterday we had our celebration Services at church, which was about finger touch...

By His Power Reading this passage this morning during Bible study, it just again hit me between the eyes at how stupid we humans tend to be, by trying to control our lives. Romans 11:7-8 (The Message) And then what happened? Well, when Israel tried to be right with God on her own, pursuing her own self-interest, she...

Doing Nothing Romans 10 (The Message) It’s the word of faith that welcomes God to go to work and set things right for us. This is the core of our preaching. Say the welcoming word to God—”Jesus is my Master”—embracing, body and soul, God’s work of doing in us what he did in raising Jesus from...
