What if you could only say what you saw? What keeps me going? There is a promise that I get glimpses of in aspects of life. That promise is that the same Jesus who rescued me from sin, will return. This beautiful Saviour who makes it possible for me to relate to my heavenly Father […]
Read More Say What You See: Kingdom ComeIt’s one thing to want something. It’s another to live an exemplary life that inspires the next generation to follow your lead. It was interesting growing up in the culture I did. No one among my parents’ friends were what society might define as successful. They had jobs in the market or in factories. They […]
Read More Say What You See: Heavenly AspirationsWe had a conversation today about presumptuous prayer and a tendency among some to decree and declare a pile of stuff that doesn’t materialise.

Read More Say What You See: Bridge BuildersAs obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.” (1 Peter 1:14-16) Holy. Such an important concept. So easily confused. It’s […]
