While travelling through Turkey, there is one thing you can’t miss. Every day, a loud call is broadcasted across the city five times throughout the day. It serves as a reminder for everyone to engage in prayer. It started as early as 3:30 am, which caused me to wake up a few times. It may… Continue reading Rom 10v13 – Crying out
Would you rather prepare a meal for 100 people for one day or for one person for 100 days? While the meal for so many at once is a challenge, most would choose that because it’s a big effort once rather than a long commitment. One-offs are a lot easier than long commitments. And this… Continue reading Luk 22v39 – As usual
What is the most precious thing you have? There could be a variety of answers – my gran’s diamond ring, my family, my dog. But there is one other thing more precious that every person has – and that is time. Without time the things we consider precious have no meaning because we can’t be… Continue reading Eph 5v15-16 – Sacred time
God’s word is filled with so much hope and encouragement. We worship a Heavenly Father who loves us to infinity; a Creator who desires to be our Father, to share his love with us, to work powerfully in our life every day, and who wants to give us the gift of everlasting life. In the… Continue reading Eph 3v19 – Prayer for you
“Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” (Mark 11:24). And “when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.” (James 1:6). The Bible message is we must… Continue reading Heb 11v39-40 – Something better
“Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” How often have we repeated these words when singing or reciting the Lord’s Prayer? The Psalmist says, “Teach me to do Your will” (Psalm 143:10). We would love to live God’s will for our life, but what does this mean? What is his will… Continue reading 1Th5v16-18 – What is God’s will for me?
You are about to call a friend; or make a decision about a personal matter; or head to work, school, or university. What is the first thing you do? In Colossians 3:17, we read, “And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God… Continue reading Col 3v17 – Life’s parentheses
Mobile phones transformed how we communicate letting us talk to anyone, anywhere, at any time. However, imagine there was a phone that let you receive calls from God. “The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out” (John 10:3).… Continue reading Joh 5v25 – Phone’s ringing
In our world, where hope is lost Where faith is gone and lives forlorn Unto us, a child is born. In our world, where people hurt Where dreams are broken, and hopes are riven Unto us, a son is given. In our world, where rulers fail Where peace is lost, and wars do smoulder The… Continue reading Isa 9v6 – In our world
Devotion. We can be devoted to many things. Sports. Social media. Career. Family. A pretty good indicator of our devotion is what we spend time on. However, the word devotion carries a deeper meaning. Its original meaning is the “act of consecrating by a vow”. This means that devotion is about worship and promise. And… Continue reading Col 4v2 – Devoted
