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. Getting used to these things is an inbuilt protection mechanism which stops us from being overwhelmed and overcome but also causes us to be numb and to stop caring. IfContinue reading “A fearful future”

Don’t forget your brain
2 Corinthians 10:5 Faith is often considered a mindless belief. Some would even say that to have faith we need to leave behind our brain and blindly accept whatever we are told. This might be true for superstitions, legends and fairy tales but a faith in Jesus is founded on solid evidence. Historical records outsideContinue reading “Don’t forget your brain”
The problem with faith
Faith is not as easy as it may seem. That is the difficulty in believing without always seeing, hearing experiencing and feeling something tangible. There are always doubts, temptations, excuses, hardship and discouragement that we battle with. The struggle to stay faithful can at times feel like it is not worth the effort. Paul remindsContinue reading “The problem with faith”
Lost innocence
Innocence is an endearing quality in children. It makes them cute and loveable bringing back fond memories of the days where we too didnt have a care in the world. Innocence is really only treasured once we become older and wiser and realise how much easier life might have been if we weren’t so keenContinue reading “Lost innocence”
Unanswered prayer
As much as I want these words to be literally true, I realise that they can’t be. I don’t know how many times I have asked God for something, and it never happens.

One day we will know for sure what is on the other side. One day we will know what this life was all about. One day we will fully understand who we are. Until that day when we meet our maker we hold onto faith, hope and love. Paul tells us in today’s verse thatContinue reading “Until that day”
Being convinced
A manager that I used to have often replied ‘I am not convinced’ in answer to proposals or ideas for which he needed more information or persuasion. Being convinced means knowing beyond doubt that something is true and that it will work, that it is achievable and worth the investment. With all the ideas, religions,Continue reading “Being convinced”
Keep it to yourself
You might have heard or even said “keep your religion to yourself” or something similar. The message there is that people don’t want to hear what we believe. They would be disappointed however if we failed to live out what we believe. People may not necessarily agree with the message we have but are generallyContinue reading “Keep it to yourself”
