Facts, Faith and Feeling

Did you, like me, have dreams of what you were going to do for God, when you first became a believer? I was full of ideas of doing great things for Him. In retrospect I’m so glad that my dreams didn’t come true, because His ways and His thoughts are so much better than mine. […]

Never Satisfied

Sin always wants more. Solomon said “All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full… the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing” (Ecclesiastes 1:7-8), and speaking of the destructive effects of lust, Job said: “it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root […]

Above Rubies

We are all on a journey, the journey of life in Christ, and we are all at different a stages on that journey. Some have had a personal relationship with Jesus since childhood, some much later in life. Whatever stage we are at, God expects us to keep travelling. He doesn’t expect us to sit […]
