Matthew 28:6 Contrary to many conspiracy theories, there are no secrets surrounding the resurrection of Jesus. The heavy stone was rolled away and anyone could see that Jesus was no longer in his tomb. In fact they were all invited to investigate the empty grave for themselves.

An overcast life
Proverbs 17:22 We all know people who remind us of Eeyore the donkey in A.A Milne’s Winnie the Pooh. Eeyore is always looking on the dull side of life. Everything is difficult for him and joy is impossible to be found even when everyone else is having fun. There is a dark cloud that hangsContinue reading “An overcast life”
Stuck in the cycle?
Romans 6:23 Whether we are self employed or an employee we expect to be paid for the work we have done. In fact we would insist that it is our right to receive a reward for our effort. Throughout our lives we exchange our services and our time for a monetary payment. It doesn’t takeContinue reading “Stuck in the cycle?”
Abusing God
John 14:21 Those in abusive relationships may still here the words “I love you” before or after experiencing those terrible acts of violence or verbal attacks. Those of us on the outside are appalled and know that this is not right and that this is not love at all. In those situations, the words “IContinue reading “Abusing God”
What are you leaning on?
Isaiah 40:29 I have heard it said that Christianity is just a crutch for those that can’t handle the pressures of life. If you have heard that or even said it yourself consider the available crutches out there being used by many these days to make people feel better about themselves and help them throughContinue reading “What are you leaning on?”
What are you known for?
Galatians 5:22-23 There are many things Christians are accused off – intolerance, arrogance, ignorance, hypocrisy and being judgmental to name a few. Compare those observations to the characteristics we are actually supposed to be known for which are detailed in today’s verse. What we believe may be misconstrued or misunderstood but how we approach lifeContinue reading “What are you known for?”
It’s time to practise
Colossians 3:12 Since it is in our nature to be self centered, self-conscious and self-absorbed – thinking about others doesn’t always come naturally. This is why Jesus followers are told to make a conscious decision to treat others the way He treated them – with kindness, compassion, gentleness, humility and patience. This might be easierContinue reading “It’s time to practise”
Free to live
Romans 8:1 Religion is often associated with condemnation, guilt, judgement and pressure to perform or conform. Many view religious people as being on a life sentence of hard work and strict compliance to burdensome rules and regulations. Those that follow Jesus, however, have not taken on a life sentence but have rather been given aContinue reading “Free to live”
Family issues
1 John 4:21 The people closest to us are often the ones that hurt us most deeply. Those closest to us are often the ones that let us down, aggravate us with their annoying habits, take advantage of us and disagree with us. After all, we cannot choose our family, whether it be our bloodContinue reading “Family issues”
The war within
Ephesians 6:11 If we take time out to reflect and to contemplate, we soon realise that there is a battle for our attention. In the quietness there are distractions, concerns, worries, dreams, fears, regrets, desires and thoughts of other things we should be doing. These are all things which work together to form our decisionsContinue reading “The war within”
