We can… Continue reading 1Co 10v31 – Special moments
Jesus’ disciples asked him what it would be like in the last days before he returned. He said there would be “wars and rumours of wars…Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

He alone knows and determines what happens in the future. “Remember the things… Continue reading Isa 46v9-10 – Know The future
What is your favourite bird? Mine is the African fish eagle. To hear its cry as it soars high in the heavens is the quintessential sound of Africa.
