Welcome to COVID DAY, 2021! This is our own Groundhog Day we’ve been living for so long. I won’t suggest that we all have to improve our attitude and try to be better people before we are somehow released from all this…

Up while it was still dark, I was “down the back” as quickly and as quietly as I could go. I set up on a slope covered by a stand of eucalypts which were slightly bending to the early morning breeze – the breeze blowing past me up the slope. I waited with binoculars trained on a clearing below.

COVID 19 is not God’s punishment on the world, or His church. But in some ways we are in a difficult place with many circumstances beyond our control during this COVID 19 ‘exile’, and I believe God is…

Here’s the thing: the apostle is not coaching us here on how to win in public debate, or winning arguments for God, or proving our point against opposing human voices. No! He is calling us to pray and intercede so that we pull down in the spiritual realm the sources…

After the 1600 paces are counted and the carrier keeps going when the soldier expects the carrier to lay down his burden, but doesn’t even pause and just keeps going, who is doing the counting then?

This last week, as I was participating in the ReChurch School of the Prophetic, Anne mentioned something about liberty and, quick as a flash, the Lord took me to Paul’s statement in 2 Corinthians …

As I have often repeated of late, our sanctified spirit is supreme in our tripartite being of spirit, soul and body. It is the sanctified dwelling place of Holy Spirit. If we allow sin to go unaddressed…

But this idea of connection to God, although true, is an insufficient understanding (by itself) of what it means to be born again. Over the years I have heard many reasons for us being born again, from being able to speak in tongues to receiving spiritual gifts and so on. But these things are…

And so, our thought life and what we allow into that space is incredibly important. As the apostle Paul reminds us, we live in houses made of thoughts that we ourselves have constructed with materials (thoughts, ideas, imaginings) we have collected or scrounged. Look at what he said to the Corinthians …

One of the things that I pray I am helping you to do with this new sermon series is to re-look at Scriptures you may have read dozens of times over the years with a fresh lens, a different perspective, fresh eyes, to see things clearly that were always there but, perhaps, missed for some reason..…READ MORE

Anyone who lives on milk can never mature spiritually. Not only that they a not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. What is this teaching about righteousness? In its most basic form teaching about righteousness is about understanding the work of the cross.…READ MORE

What are Christians thinking when, on social media platforms, they engage in behaviour and interactions that are just so un-Christlike, so rude – and so unholy? What is it about social media that induces teenagers to want to parade themselves in near nakedness for the whole world to see? What is it about social media forums that draws supposedly mature men and women of God to.…READ MORE

In the current teaching messages about “Living a Powerful Spiritual Life” we’ve looked closely at two particular trees in the Garden of Eden – the tree of life, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. We know from the Genesis narrative that when Adam and Eve.…READ MORE

I’m sure you’ve heard this complaint, “Oh, I am under such spiritual attack at the moment!” in a woe is me kind of resignation. I also hear Christians making excuses for their sinful behaviours. I’m sure you’ve heard these phrases, too: “I couldn’t help it!”, “Well, that’s just me”, and the well-worn one we still hear these days; “The devil made me do it.”.…READ MORE

Abraham, I feel sure, was pretty emotional about what was looming on Mount Moriah, and right there he could have given in to soulish desires. He could have reached out to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.…READ MORE

As a kid I used to listen to that song on my old valve radio (which I still have, and which still works!) as I tuned in to the nightly 3KZ John Bright request show. I heard that song again just the other day and it struck me that the way we are communicating as a society today is rapidly changing … and breaking down.…READ MORE

It took me a few weeks but I found it after a lot of work searching for it. It was annoying and irritating in the extreme, at times. I had endured its racket for weeks. I tried everything I could think of to find it…READ MORE

Most Christians I know are certain of their forgiveness because of the cross, but many still have some struggle with shame or guilt from time to time…READ MORE

The Haas team car split in half and erupted in a fireball fueled by full tanks. Grosjean was momentarily out of it, but came back to reality and realised his left foot was stuck. He was trapped in the cockpit for what seemed an eternity.…READ MORE

There are some unpleasant life experiences that are unavoidable, yes, some of which we have to have. We cannot avoid them. We must experience them and move through. From boyhood I remember dreading…READ MORE
