What time is it where you are now? Here by me it is 10:31. I sure hope it is 10:31 on your side of the world as well! I find myself so many times in a situation where I am not sure if what I do is right in the eyes of the...

Keeping up with the Joneses
Have you ever driven past a neighbourhood and looked at the houses and said to yourself that it is out of your league? Let us just be honest now, don’t we all do that even in the different spheres of life? I am taken back in my mind to when I was a...

Moeilike tye
Deesdae gaan dit maar broekskeur en die vooruitsigte lyk menslik gesproke ook nie goed nie. Baie van ons, indien nie die meeste van ons nie, het iemand aan die dood afgestaan of ken iemand wat beswyk het weens die COVID 19 pandemie wat regoor die wêreld sy stempel kom afdruk het. Hoe hanteer...

Vaccine – Take it, don’t take it?
Hi all, here is my last message for 2020. I want to talk about the COVID-19 vaccine and end with a short word of encouragement. There are so many stories and videos doing the rounds, warning Christians, and non-Christians, not to take the vaccine when it’s launched. A very few of these stories has...

Time
What can we have in this life that will last? What can we own that will make us whole and that will not wither? When our bodies are broken and our hearts too, what will remain? Our consciousness of time, the value of our energy & commitment and how we rank our priorities is...
