Yesterday we were considering the miracle of ‘new birth’ and the fact that the Lord has taken away our old stony heart and given us His heart. He has also given us His Spirit in order to help us to live from that new heart, and not return to the old. He promised this through […]
We watched a strange film the other night. It was about a young woman who had a heart transplant. Ever since the transplant she didn’t feel herself. ‘Herself’ being an angry, promiscuous, very selfish person. She has toxic family relationships, so no real place to call home, a broken career, friendships she destroys, and a […]
We have been sharing about Jesus commission and our mission on the earth to spread His Kingdom. We have been building our faith with thanksgiving that Jesus has “All authority in heaven and on earth”, and that He followed that with “Therefore……..” We can thank Him that He is now seated in the highest place […]
Jesus was clear about His authority. One of the last things He said to His disciples was, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and […]

On our need to see things from God’s perspective, especially those things in our personal circumstances, as well as world events, that can trouble us. Today as I was walking our dog, I felt that the Lord was saying that we […]

In Revelation 4:1 the Apostle John is invited to “Come up here.” He is invited into the throne room of heaven in order to see and hear “What must take place”. The implication being that he would not be able to grasp or comprehend what was going to happen, except he saw it all unfold […]
When I began this year of thanksgiving blogs, even tho’ I was a frequent advocate of a thankful lifestyle, I had no idea how absolutely fundamental and essential thanksgiving was in our relationship with the Lord. It’s strange how, once the Lord has brought something to our attention, we ‘see’ it in places where previously […]
