He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the chariots with fire. (Psalms 46:9 ESV) Some think it’s money, some think it’s girls, some believe it belongs to the man. It’s thinking like that which gets folks up in arms looking to get […]
Read More Psalm 46 – Who Rules The WorldThe 23rd Psalm is arguably the most well-known. You talk of scriptures to memorise and this one is right up there.

Read More Song of Shalom (A Reflection on the Song of Solomon)There is much to be grateful for in regard to journey mercies.
