A lot of life is a matter of trust. You put your trust in your parents. They are the first sources of authority and the reference point for life. Then you realise they are flawed. You put your trust in your friends. They are engaging, exciting and animated collaborators in the journey of life. Then […]
Read More So We Must Put Our Trust In GodThere are those stories of a great success in a sport. An unfancied team won the big one. The individual ranked outside the top 100 upset the odds and won the tournament. The story talks about those attractive qualities people warm to about the underdog. The journey from nowhere to somewhere can wrap people up […]
Read More Not A One-OffThe darkness was overwhelming. My soul was crushed. The burden was far too heavy for me, I could not carry on. I felt so crowded, it became too much. It felt unrelenting. The pressure got to the point where I didn’t feel like waking up in the morning. The pan got too much for my […]
Read More The Light Will Shine AgainThere it is. What we’ve been waiting for. What we’ve seen from afar. What we were told was ahead. At times it seemed so far away. At times the obstacles appeared to be insurmountable. We lost some people along the way. Some gave up, some fell, some turned their back because they didn’t believe this […]

You may have reached an agreement with your current conditions and they may have given you the impression that it is satisfactory. Yet there is something better ahead. Something a lot better.

Read More Starting the Journey to the Promised LandHis spokesman was upset, but He was not surprised. Ever since He had taken them out of slavery, they had persistently been faithless to Him. Time after time they would sell themselves out and get defeated by their enemies. Time after time they would cry out to Him for help. Time after time He would […]
Read More We Want Who To Rule Over Us?I love podcasts. I just love the convenience of having such glorious listening material at hand in a manner that not even radio can provide. The wide variety of podcasts available from such a range of sources. From the professional outfits who have their studios souped up to the max, to the one man operation […]
Read More You Are Not Filling InSo. People get excited by a vision. In a certain period of time we will achieve this. After a particular portion of time we will be here. Follow me for a future where this and that and the other will be realised. Nothing wrong with that to a degree. I was reading the biblical narrative […]
Read More Looking To Him For How Far To LookTo the best of my knowledge, there were less than a dozen of us.
