Waiting
Psalm 33:18 One of the hardest things to do in life is wait. Waiting means that we are at the mercy of someone else’s timing. We could be waiting in line, waiting in traffic, waiting for a phone call, waiting for our computer to respond, waiting for the food at a restaurant or waiting forContinue reading “Waiting”
What are you talking about?
Ephesians 4:29 What we say and how we say it will quickly inform others who we are and what is important to us. The way we talk to others reveals the extent of our respect for them and the value we place on who they are.

Which god?
1 Samuel 2:2 A god is something or someone that our life revolves around and demands our attention.

A fearful future
Isaiah 41:13 Many of us have become desensitised to the violence, abuse, political unrest and natural disasters which flood our televisions and social media pages.

Constant and consistent
1 Chronicles 16:34 If we look way back in history, we can recognise that religion in some form or another has been an integral part of any age and society. There have been all sorts of gods, traditions and superstitions that have dictated, enslaved and driven cultures to success or ruin. What most peopleContinue reading “Constant and consistent”
Feeling far from God
2 Chronicles 7:14 There may be times in our life where we feel we are far from God. Perhaps this is because we have ignored him, turned away from him or simply not believed in him. Then some hardship or crisis comes along and we call out to him to save us and at leastContinue reading “Feeling far from God”
Harmony is hard
Romans 15:5-6 Living in peace and harmony is an ideal which many wish for but have resolved it to be unacheivable. If only selfish ambition and personal opinion could simply and magically disappear then life would be bliss. A utopia of selfless cooperation, unified thoughts and harmonious community would lack division, arrogance and violence. ItContinue reading “Harmony is hard”
