Testimonies to the practical reality, revelations and power of Jesus Christ
The preacher said to his congregation, “Church people don’t believe God anymore so they’ve lost their God-given authority.” When I think of that living and powerful word that God has given the Church; when I look at the command, authority and promises of the word that Jesus gave His disciples and then look at the state of the …

For a few brief minutes every work-day morning my wife and I have the TV on so as to catch up on news and weather reports. As far as the “news” is concerned, we are aware that they’re only reporting that which they want us to know rather than that which we ought to know, but …

A young man came to give me a quote on a new home appliance recently and as I was signing the contract he asked what my background was in relation to work. When there’s time to sit and talk I usually share some of my experiences, but that day there was no time to sit and therefore, …
The other day I got some deeper insight into why much of the church is where it’s at spiritually throughout the world. I listened to a preacher on You Tube tell his church that they, “need to understand that there are people even in the translation of the Bible who have a low view of the Bible.” I was …
In sharing my testimony with people about how I first encountered the Lord Jesus Christ, the response has sometimes been something along the lines of, “I’m a Christian too, but I’m not a fundamentalist … I don’t base my Christianity solely upon the Bible, like you do.” When asking what else it is they base their Christianity upon they’ve …

In a telephone conversation with a Christian man recently, he asked me to pray for a man in his church who is thinking of marrying an eastern European single mother in her mid-30’s. The man, in his mid-50’s, hasn’t met this woman face to face but from what he knows about her he apparently thinks the marriage would work out and so he’s doing all …

A Christian man shared recently that he’s had a wonderful spiritual breakthrough as a result of catching up with his former pastor whom he had not seen for many years. In conversation he told the pastor, “Sometimes I think God must look at me and shake His head in despair, thinking, ‘what am I going to do …
A friend from overseas stayed for a couple of nights recently. He knows my stand for the Lord Jesus, the gospel and the Bible. During times of both national and international disasters he’s heard me speak of the Bible’s promises of blessing and protection for obedience to God and His promises of judgment and lack of protection for …
I remember twenty-five years ago as a naive, young Christian, being very impressed with the pastor’s question, “What would you do if Jesus came to your home? Would you have to hide any books, magazines, videos, recorded music?” He asked the wrong question. Based on events and happenings that took place in his personal life just a few …

In the supermarket the other evening, I met up with a Christian sister whom I’d not seen for some months and, as is usually the case after an exchange of greetings, I got to hear of what’s happening in her current church, as well as what’s happening in her former church. In the current church they are, “between …
