For me personally I'm a 'night owl' and like most people my 'to do' list at night can be lengthy, it's got to a point that I've … Continue reading Studying Scripture

In Matthew 22:39 Jesus tells us the second most important Commandment is to "love your neighbour as yourself" [NRSV]. When I was a child I thought that was pretty easy as our neighbours next door were a kind couple, so being kind to them wasn't going to be a hard effort.

Unfortunately there will be those who will have had to clear their desk, locker for the last time, due to losing their jobs. As each day passes it's becoming clearer that … Continue reading Perseverance

This past week has been emotionally and mentally draining for me, I find it amusing that I feel the Lord wants me to write about my views and ideas on how we should be joyful in Him. The dictionary definition of joy is: noun 'a feeling of great pleasure and happiness' verb 'rejoice' This past … Continue reading Joy in Him

This week I've felt that the Lord wants me to let people know my beliefs on sin and how it can affect our lives. For some people they may feel that I'm too 'extreme' in my beliefs, my blog posts are not meant to be seen as judgemental but will hopefully make people stop, reflect … Continue reading Sin in Our Lives

This week I feel that the Lord is wanting to me share my thoughts on why we should be prepared and in some cases persistent when Waiting on God. Even when we may start to feel that we've been waiting 'long enough'. There are numerous stories in the Bible where people were required to wait … Continue reading Waiting on God
