This clip comes from ‘The Passion’ movie. It’s poetic license at it’s best as Jesus has ‘crushed the head of the serpent’ at and through the cross, not here at Gethsemene (and not a real snake). However, for me at least, it is a powerful visual of what Jesus’ death and resurrection has achieved in [...]

Would it be possible you are not ‘stepping up to the plate’, to be everything God intended you to be, because you have some warped idea of what humility is? Let me try and explain. Humility in the Bible is often mentioned in the context of repentance and being a servant of the Lord. It [...]

“We are in an interesting battle, whether we realise it or not, in this world. It’s a battle between life and death. What side are you on?” “I know, along my journey, I am already hated because I declare life!” “How much are you willing to take, and how much are you willing to risk, [...]

Psalms 143 143:1 A psalm of David. O LORD, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief. 2 Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one living is righteous before you. 3 The enemy pursues me, he crushes me to the ground; he [...]

Good morning! I was just skimming through a few Youtube clips this morning and I was really touched and encouraged by this particular clip and testimony. You know, there are so many contemporary Christian songs that we sing that lack the content and depth and truth of the older hymns. This song isn’t one of [...]
Faith or Love?

In the Christian life, is faith more important or is love more important? In answer to this question you may quote “Now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”[1 Cor 13:13] and you would be correct, the greatest is love. But the Bible also says “without faith it [...]

Continuing on from Parts 1 and 2… I’ve been trying to explain why I feel that faith in our Lord Jesus is like ‘Being at the Knife Edge’ and relating that to Elijah. Here are a few thoughts: 1) Genuine faith in our Lord Jesus is ‘living way beyond ourselves, it’s extreme living!’. The Spirit [...]

Being at the Knife Edge of Faith (Part 2) As I have mentioned in Part 1, the Lord has had me ‘ruminating’ over the life of Elijah. In particular, Elijah’s response to Jezebel’s death threat where he runs in fear (1 Kings 19), after having such great faith and victory on Mt Carmel in defeating [...]
