Testimonies to the practical reality, revelations and power of Jesus Christ
When proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ to people, there has always been the odd one or two to firmly let me know they are not interested in knowing about, “your God” or “your Bible.” Amazingly, such has even been expressed by church affiliated people! Who, “their god ” might be, they are not able …

Question: Why is it that people take delight in attacking born again Christians who openly declare their stand for Jesus Christ? Answer: The Holy Spirit of God convicts them that they are not right before Him. That’s right! Deny it as they most certainly will, that is the primary reason. In reality however, it is …

All hell broke loose during April this year when a well-known Christian International Rugby Union player here in Australia was asked by someone on “Social” Media, “What was God’s plan for gays?” His reply, “HELL, unless they repent of their sins and turn to God.” As can be imagined, he won himself few friends with that …
“Every one, though born of God in an instant, yet undoubtedly grows by slow degrees.” – John Wesley. Amen! I pray this statement encourages Christians among us who feel they’ve taken one step forward in God and three steps back. We can all feel that way; the devil will make sure of it! It won’t feel like …
“There are lots of books that can change your thinking; there is only one Book that can change your nature – and your eternal destiny.” – John MacArthur. Praise God for books that can change one’s thinking! Were it not for such books I don’t know where I would be today, mentally and physically. Prior to …

I too am fond of them, but not at the expense of the Scriptures. No matter how clever, how profound, or how inspiring they can be, none will ever be …

He believes people ought to live their lives according to their own values and treat others, “the way you want to be treated and live by those values and if there’s a God then they will work …
In recent days I’ve been giving thought to the counsel of Smith Wigglesworth, given to a class of Bible students in 1927, warning them that if they ever turned from the word of God “to some other place ” they could not believe the truth after that. He said, “The spirit of this age is to get you to believe a …

For the first thirty-nine years of my life I knew nothing about the Bible or God. I was told something about Jesus Christ in my early religious upbringing, but what that personally meant for me I did not have a clue. Neither did anyone else. No priest, nun, pastor, ‘reverend’ or church-goer ever told me that …
