People struggle with sin, but many do not know that we have been given the power to conquer it and walk free in Jesus, to battle sin and put it under our feet.
The definition of sin is to fall short of God’s best, His glory. The good news is that we can overpower sin rather than be overpowered by it, simply by accepting Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, and walking in his will. Continue reading
Did you know that being made right with God brings us into his peace?
When the whole world seeks some kind of peace, beit from conflict, or just to step back from the challenges and turmoil of everyday life, we who believe can actually say peace has found us where we are.
Therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 5:1
When a doctor prescribes a patient a medicine, it behoves them to follow the script, because therein lies a potential remedy for their ills.
Most people are diligent to apply the doctor’s prescription, hoping and trusting that it will produce the sought after relief.
Jesus, the Great Physician, gives us the way to receive healing. Speaking to us through Solomon, He admonishes us to give serious regard to His words, act on them and allow them to become a salve to our lives and health to our bodies.
We are called to glorify God and live a life of purity before Him.
We can be changed for the good even though we were all rebellious and disobedient to God at one time. Many in the world still are. No one is righteous without faith in Jesus Christ. We all had dirty linen, but, to those who determined to believe, God gave unspotted garments.

The believer’s life begins in the Spirit.
When we are born again we are born from above, born of the Spirit, sons of God. His life is in us, the Zoe life of the Godhead. We are quickened – made alive with His life. Continue reading
God keeps on giving. He has given, is giving and will give.
The greatest gift he gave us is Jesus. Along with Jesus, through the cross of Calvary, he gave us the gift of righteousness through faith in him, which leads to salvation and eternal life with him. Continue reading
Several times scripture tells us that the just shall live by faith, no matter what we are going through, in storms or tranquility.
The just are the righteous – people who have been justified by God, made right in his sight. How does this happen?
It’s an incredible thought that we didn’t deserve anything from God, but he gave anyway. He gave his love, his Son, his Word, forgiveness, mercy, and his Spirit.
He gave many other things – all of them good! Continue reading
Serving God is an honour and a privilege, especially as we minister to his saints. We don’t always receive the human affirmation we’d like, but we should know that God doesn’t forget the work and effort we put into our ministry. Continue reading
