I am wondering whether we would be a better people if sin was somehow linked to physical pain? Now you may think I am going a bit weird but this is what I am pondering at the moment. I know that our sin sometimes does lead to physical pain to ourselves and to others but [...]

I was surprised to find that in the NKJV it mentions the terror of the Lord (even in the New Testiment). In other versions it was ‘the dread’ or ‘the fear’ of the Lord. Also, I am surprised that Isaiah, when prophesising the things to come (how the Lord is going to shake this world) [...]

Heb 12:28-29 28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. 29 For our God is a consuming fire. (NKJV) And what is the therefore there for? (I sound like Derrick Prince) Let’s look at a [...]

What is wrong with us Christian folk? Why are we being tripped over and over by the same old things? Why is there no growth in our lives? Why is there no committment to holiness? Why is there no increase in holiness? Why aren’t we going from glory to glory, and from victory to victory? [...]
