Feeling out of place?

1 John 4:4 We can more often than not be overwhelmed by the pressures and people around us. It makes it difficult to say “no” to temptation and “yes” to what we know is right. We can feel outnumbered and out of place because of our values and our faith. Doubts can overcome us becauseContinue reading “Feeling out of place?”

There must be more

Revelation 21:4 Consider the intelligence of humans. Consider the dreams and imagination we have. Consider the achievements and accomplishments throughout history. Consider the search for meaning and purpose we all have. Consider the complexity of our emotions and the desire to love and be loved. Consider our dismay and disappointment at illness, death and destruction.Continue reading “There must be more”

What do you see?

1 Samuel 16:7 When was the last time you were misunderstood? Times like those we desire for others to see our hearts, our motive and what our intentions really were. Other times we really wouldn’t want anyone to know what we were thinking because we would be incredibly embarrassed and if thoughts counted, we couldContinue reading “What do you see?”

In the dark

Psalm 23:4 Let’s face it – life can get pretty dark sometimes. It can feel like we are in a hole with no way out. Whether you are grieving the loss of a loved one or overwhelmed with the breakdown of a relationship or buried under the stress of your job or overcome by fearContinue reading “In the dark”

Designed to rest

Exodus 34:21 Burn out, depression and anxiety are common symptoms of a busy society. There is constant pressure to perform and to provide.

Majority rules

You will find that many people will try and convince you to say yesContinue reading “Majority rules”

Under New Ownership

Ephesians 1:7 We like to think that we are in control of our own destiny, the captain of our ship and the pilot of our airplane. That might fine for a very short time until we realise that life is not going so well after making some, well maybe many, poor choices and unwise decisions.Continue reading “Under New Ownership”

Who do you say Jesus is?

John 10:33 There are very few people who disregard the consensus that the Jesus who Christians follow actually existed. Historians, scholars, lawyers and investigators have no choice but to be convinced that this Jesus walked the earth due to the evidence available. What causes controversy and debate is who He was. Some say He wasContinue reading “Who do you say Jesus is?”

Avoiding accountability

Hebrews 4:13 The warning that lawyers give in relation to having a traffic accident is to never admit it is your fault. We live in a world where accountability is to be avoided if possible. After all, if you are accountable then you are responsible. If you are responsible, then it is your fault whenContinue reading “Avoiding accountability”

No longer impossible

Matthew 19:26 We can all too easily fall into thinking that we are good enough, that we have arrived at the highest level of goodness that we can and will achieve in our lifetime. Based on our own assessment which usually includes comparing ourselves with the outlaws and tyrants of history we assume that whenContinue reading “No longer impossible”
