Walking in Victory

Romans 8:37 "Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us." How can we be more than a conqueror? A conqueror is the one who goes into the battle, fights until the victory is won, and then receives the glory for the win. What more can be done? Have …

Christ Recrucified

Isn't it wonderful when a light bulb goes off in your spirit and you suddenly understand something that has been puzzling you for a while? I have had such a moment! Although I've studied, lived by, and taught often, the foundational principles of Hebrews 6:1-3, I've never really understood verses 4-6. One half of my …

The Builder’s Permit

I was talking with a young pastor last night and she was explaining how the church that she and her husband had established was "joining forces" with another, much larger church. She was putting a positive spin on it but, in the conversation, she mentioned that the bigger church "had more resources", meaning that they …

The Dance of Submission

Submission is a key concept of the New Testament but, unfortunately, it is quite misunderstood. For many years, I thought submission was the ability to obey someone else in authority over me. This is such a narrow and misguided understanding. Thankfully, with age comes a certain amount of maturity, and my Father has led me …

Destined for Glory

When my children were toddlers, I used to delight in their antics. The two boys would put their little feet into dad's work boots and walk around the house looking as pleased as punch. When the girls were toddlers, they would go into my cupboard and get my very best pair of shoes. This didn't …

Who Art Thou, Lord?

Saul of Tarsus, fired up and on a mission for God, was rudely and crudely struck down by a bolt of light from above. As a well educated and practised Pharisee, who should have known better, he needed to ask "Who art thou, Lord?" (Acts 9:5). There comes a time in the life of all …

Complacent Christians

Something has been burning in my heart recently. It's a truth that is simple yet powerful. It shook me up and now my life is changed for the better. This message is going to be heavy but I urge you to stick around and read with a open heart willing to receive the same truth …

FOUNDATION 6: Eternal Judgment

The last in this series, eternal judgment, is so reassuring for us. But some don't actually have the confidence that they have eternal life - that they have passed from judgment to life. They know their sins are forgiven them (sort of!) but don't really have confidence in their eternal future - so they keep …

Your Heart

Mine has been broken plenty of times and I'm sure yours has too. My heart has been broken by so called "friends" and even family. People who you said to yourself would never hurt you and then next thing you know you're crying in your pillow. I'm the type of person when I love I …

Hurt: But Not Held Back by leading and loving it

I know it's been awhile since my last posting but God has been taking me through a time of self examination and healing. Now I want to start by sharing some articles God used to help me through this process. I pray, some of you reading this blog, it will shed some light for you …
