Back in the days when I was a gospel messenger out on the streets of my local community, rarely would too much time pass before I would get to experience the practical reality, revelations and power of the Lord Jesus Christ as He ministered in some-one’s life. It was always an awesome thing for me to …

God Wants our Being before Our Doing
A friend made a comment on one of my blog posts recently, highlighting that, “Fear not is one of, if not THE most commonly used phrase in God’s word.” Not having thought of it like that, I decided to get my concordance out and check. My friend is right. Using them in their correct context, the words “fear …
Only Two Churches
Sitting with a friend discussing Christianity over dinner recently, he asked me why I was using the phrases, “biblical Christianity” and the “biblical Lord Jesus Christ” when explaining some of my beliefs to him with regards our subject. He said, “I thought all Christian practice was based on the Bible.” If only it was that …
It Was not the Jesus of The Bible
Imagine yourself sitting with a friend having coffee or lunch enjoying each other’s company and he then mentions the name of a mutual friend that he caught up with recently. But as he begins to describe the nature and character of that person, you are wondering if he is talking about the same one, because what you are hearing is totally
He said, “Don’t Seek the Approval of Man.”
In the last institutionalized church system I was associated with, among the various rosters we had was the Communion or Lord’s Supper speaker’s roster. A half-dozen people were on it, the idea being that before we partook of the elements each week, the speaker would bring a five to ten-minute message in order to prepare us for the relevance of …

Manipulative Practices in The Church
Back in March 1987 when I first began to do systematic Bible studies I was simply amazed to be learning of the nature and character of God Almighty, Who was revealing Himself to me in the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ using a book – or sixty-six books, known as the Bible. No greater miracle is there in all …
A Man one Step from God
A Roman Catholic man was giving an interview recently on television, in relation to his one-time parish priest. The priest was always thought of as the family’s spiritual leader, adviser and friend – never the sexual, pedophilic predator he turned out to be. Asked for his opinion on the priest now that he had been …
The Judgement of God?
During the summer of 2009, a pastor of a Pentecostal fellowship in my city of Melbourne, Australia, came under attack from both the wider church community and the media for saying that the horrendous bush-fires which took place that summer, were as a result of God’s judgement upon the nation and, particularly upon the state of Victoria, which had recently
A Statement from Hell
Recently I was asked by a man, “Why is it that so many people get caught up in all these cults? Don’t they have a mind of their own? It seems to me that you’d have to be a half-wit to be taken in by them.” Making it very clear to me that he was a non-believer in God, …
It Was as though Superman came Out of The Sky
A man once told me that he was the only survivor from a motor car crash. There were three of them in the vehicle but on impact he was thrown out onto the ground suffering relatively minor injuries. He said, “Somebody was watching over me that day.” An ex-World War Two navigator in a bomber aircraft shared …
