Testimonies to the practical reality, revelations and power of Jesus Christ
Question: What happens when one ceases running from Christ and humbly surrenders to Him instead? Answer: One discovers Christ is their Friend, not an enemy. He or she discovers self is the enemy, not Christ. One discovers self-centeredness is death, Christ-centeredness is life. One discovers the love Christ grants him or her replaces all fear …

As I understand it, fear rules the lives of many Christians throughout the Western world just as effectively as it does the lives of unbelievers. But the question is, why? How can this be when the Scripture tells us, God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and a sound …
Question: What is it churches endorsing same-sex marriage, transgenderism and interfaith have in common? Answer: they are all walking a road they believe takes them to heaven, but the reality is it takes them to hell. It matters not the number of arrow-pointed signs marked “Heaven” on that road, hell is where they’re headed and …
Recently a newly born-again Christian shared with me his delight at discovering a couple of preachers on the Internet. “They make the word of God come alive,” he said. Sadly though, when he mentioned this to a few people in his local church who he thought were Bible Christians, their responses left him feeling dispirited. “Welcome to the …
One of the expressions of Christian-speak disturbing me in this time of increasing evil is: “God loves the sinner, but He hates the sin.” It rolls off the mouth of Christians so easily. When preachers express it they’ll also use the most famous Scripture to back it up: For God so loved the world that He gave His only …
I have a strong sense there’s fear among Christians because of the all-out attack against Lord Jesus Christ and the Bible. The unbelieving world is riddled with their fears but instead of God’s people standing against ours under the anointing and power of the Lord, many appear to be succumbing to it. There can be …
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 …
For a few weeks now on this blog I have been making mention that many truth-seeking, truth-loving Christian people will need to prepare themselves to experience separation from their much loved denomination or fellowship. As it is presently, however, there are lots among them who disagree with this suggestion and have the Scriptures to back it up – especially Hebrews …
Two years prior to becoming a Christian I spent as much time as I could reading about human nature. I found it to be a fascinating experience and I absorbed as many books as I could get my hands on about the subject, both from the library and from second-hand book shops. Old cloth-bound and hard cover books held a greater appeal for me than the …

A few weeks ago I stumbled across a message on Facebook, “Trying to do the Lord’s work in your own strength is the most confusing, exhausting and tedious of all work.” Corrie ten Boom. I got to thinking about all the different ways I’ve heard the first part of that message expressed by Christian people …
