Exodus 20:24 “Wherever I cause my name to be honoured, I will come to you and bless you.” God has come to us, through Jesus and then the Holy Spirit.

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.

There are glimpses of goodness that we see depending largely on where we live and the influence that brave people with Godly values have had. The bad things in the world can be overwhelming and frightening. The future canContinue reading “Bleak or bright”
