In the world every minute: 100 people die and of them 30 are Christians; 250 people are born and of them 70 are born to Christians. In any of those minutes Jesus may appear to call an end to the proceedings of the people on this earth. How many people will greet him as a [...]
Quite often when I write a blog or comment, I am in danger of making the kingdom of God all about me. Starting from myself (questions, revelations, unsolved problems) I look to God’s man of revelation Jesus Messiah for a solution, a parable, a glimpse into the heartbeat of God himself. As I seek answers [...]
If you’ve ever seen a documentary on space; the stars, galaxies and the ever expanding universe… you will begin to feel very small. For example, if there was a ribbon of flat land all the way around the earth on the equator, and you were to one day start out walking around the earth. If [...]
Is what I say of God my notion of him? Perhaps I have been shielded from ministry because of the selfish motives with which I wish to preach Christ. Or more correctly, God is protecting his sheep. I have recently learnt that God’s righteousness came to men as an unwanted gift. People did not contribute [...]
Recently I came across a section of the story about Jesus as written by the author Luke (Luke 12:13-34), where Jesus was advising his listeners to be rich toward God rather than storing up money (v21).

I had a conversation the other night with some Christian brothers about working hard to make more money. Is it wrong to become rich? What does it mean to be rich?

Bring righteousness and justice to our nation; Give us a heart like yours – Full of compassion. May we be known for our generosity and our love [...]
Recently scientists have released a document http://climatechange2010.realviewdigital.com/ that admits that climate change and its driving force global warming are a serious problem threatening earth’s future unless something is done to reduce the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which they believe is highly likely caused by human beings. In a reading for one of [...]
There is power imbalance everywhere in the universe from the smallest particle, to the largest galaxy, larger triumphs over smaller, faster over slower, skilled over unskilled. In a better world one ruled by love, differences between weak and strong would serve to enhance people’s lives. In the world we live in, Death has claimed 100’s [...]
I sit here in the corner, in the dark while allergies are suffocating me. Tissue in hand I begin. My heart weighs heavily as I ponder the mornings events. Not so long ago I had to say goodbye to my son. It feels like the most horrible thing. His teacher has to wrench him away [...]
