I have appointed you a watchman…Ezekiel 3:17
The world has changed dramatically. Does the Bible give us any insights into this change? Recently, I have seen some Christian interviews where the guest was asked to explain the dramatic changes that were occurring in the world and whether scripture explained the observed changes. Their answers were disappointing, rambling and lacked any scriptural evidence… Continue reading (In)visible Signs – “WATCH THEREFORE”
We are examining the majesty of the fruit of the Spirit to delve into the first commandment relationship with God. To learn His presence, to understand our spiritual relationship with Him and to see how God refines our character for the weight of glory that is to come (2 Corinthians 4:17).

God has given us His grace to sustain… Continue reading God’s Endless Grace – sustains us with an unimaginable future and keeps us by the power of God.

I have fought… Continue reading Christ’s Ultimate Purpose when He Returns – the glory of Jesus and our experience of His glory

Christ’s redemptive mission on earth is a love story, played out on the stages of time and eternity, and filled with drama, pathos, love, struggle and triumph. God’s intention is to provide… Continue reading God’s Plan for His Church

The… Continue reading Times of Deception? – Time for Discernment! Part 4
