But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. 1John 1:7
Earthquake Thoughts - A conversation with God, 20 June 2011
In my mind I see one region, surrounded by 3 previously undiscovered fault-lines. 7500 earthquakes in less than 10 months, 5 significant earthquakes causing widespread utility outage. A...
There are many opinions about what God is doing in the earthquakes that are continuing to rock Christchurch. The combination of natural and spiritual events may be too much to get our heads around completely, but we seem driven to try to make some sense of these things. Many opinions are just human points of view and do not come from the heart of God or represent who He is.
Our Father is good and only has goodness to pour out to His children.
His heart is for you not against you.
Many Christians have become reluctant to use this term “servantship” because they have heard it used to justify a lot of manipulation, coercive talk and preaching, when it is really about living out a personal, loving relationship with one’s Father in Heaven that allows His Glory to be expressed on the earth in words and in miracles.
I have often wondered--where are the real men in Christianity? Somehow you can find them in the world, but where are they in the church? Someone once responded to the question of where are the men by saying, "We have asked them to become women."
Often I feel overwhelmed by the need for God here in Wales, and also often feel that there are few who really hear His voice and show great signs of being prepared to get working with the strength and power of the Holy Spirit. And yet our Father is doing something tremendous and is encouraging many to keep receiving His Grace.
Why am I writing about this? Because historically, Christianity and its 40,000 denominations – plus the myriads of Christian folks that believe they are independent even of the independents – has been split and re-split into “spiritual tribes,” celebrating the legacy of a human founder, the chief of a spiritual chiefdom, his strengths blunted and weaknesses magnified through the ages.
I am not sure if you believe that God has favourites or not?
I believe that there are certain things that we can do to
attract God’s ‘favour’ into our lives, and things that we can do
to appropriate such.
IF we were to place the things mentioned in the Bible into an order of priority, then the subject of “Obeying The Voice Of God” would have to be at the very top. All the way through the Scriptures we are told again and again of the importance of...
Late one April afternoon in 1945 a little girl was playing near the creek that ran down past the home where she lived with her family: her mum and dad, four sisters and two brothers; all older than herself. It was a forbidden place to play;
“The...
It is an amazing and thought provoking story, the story of God’s desire for a family and His bringing it about. It is a story of success and tragedy, failure and betrayal and...
The story of Adam and Eve is familiar to many of us. Or is it? There are different versions of understanding of this story. This article asks questions and is looking at this story from our Father's point of view.

I’m a simple little white girl from Florida who is now in Sudan taking in orphanage children to live with her.
I was really relieved when Jesus called me to move to Sudan and out of...
There are some different types of prayer and many styles of praying. Like many other Christians, I started Christian life knowing some things about what prayer is, but was confused about the rest because I didn't really...
Jesus used a parable of building a house in His teaching. His point was to highlight the need for good foundations under a house in order to withstand the storms. Similarly a good foundation under our lives. An effective Christian life...
