The Humble Saint

Very often we have a superficial view of the role and influence of a father towards his children. Fathers themselves many times see their role as just one of authoritarian rule without actually stopping to consider the intricacy, profoundness and in-depth functionality that God has placed on the shoulders of those who father children and are responsible for their upbringing. A father’s accountability before God has never changed, for God does not change, nor His principles, statutes or commands. A…

In Matthew 27:46 it is recorded, “And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying ‘Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?’ that is , ‘My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?’” The very cry invokes a sense of agony and anguish, and well it should, for it compasses in totality the love of Christ – the width and length and depth and height of Christ’s love which passes knowledge (Ephesians 3:17–19). No-one will ever be able…

[From Part 1] The caveat, the conduct and the consequence “Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no-one will see the Lord. See to it that no-one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many. See that no-one is sexually immoral (a fornicator), or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his inheritance rights as the oldest. Afterwards,…

In today’s societal circles it is not an uncommon ideology that purity is a thing of the past and marriage is just a piece of paper. Such perceptions are not seen today as profanity, but as public norm in a modern and progressive civilisation.

Purim   God’s amazing power, provision and providence.   The celebration of Purim, created out of the events as recorded in the book of Esther, that is to take place this week, beginning on Wednesday 28 February, has certainly received mixed reviews over time. The attitudes and perspectives within and without the body of Christ and Judaism, differ to such a large extent that equating it to those of the cold war antagonists would not be a fanciful exaggeration.
