Nevertheless, the idea that a baby is a vessel waiting to be shaped remains compelling. If we consider […]
Have you heard the phrase “Faith can move mountains?” Jesus talks about it in his ministry. I’ve always marvelled at that phrase. I’ve spent considerable time in the mountains around the world.

Have you ever said something you wish you could take back? I’m sure you have. The Bible tells us that life and death are in the power of the tongue. There’s no neutral ground. We are either sowing seeds of life and productivity with our words, or we are sowing seeds of ruin and destruction. […]

This morning I’m thinking about The Passover and its defining moment for God’s people. On the eve of their escape from slavery, God’s people were to dab their doorframes with the blood of a lamb, as this brought judgment on all false gods of Egypt. This moment of Passover is to be remembered forever as […]

We shouldn’t only have His features, like in a mirror, but most importantly – His attitude. That may sound like a pretty tall order; […]
