Reading the Old Testament is like browsing a full-colour version of facebook, twitter, and ‘Christian’ news headlines all put together. The modern ‘Christian’ phenomena of praising God’s Word, and quoting favourite lines from God’s Word, or even attributing favourites quotes to God that aren’t even in His Word, is something that riddled the world in […]
What all would you have done today?
What are your daily activities? Ever sat down at the end of the day and written down the list of activities of that day? We might have a task-list of what we should do each day, but do you take stock of what you did do each day? If you had to group activities together, […]
What your Bible reading says about your courage
Courageous men and women are individuals who esteem a specific list of values and who live by a stated set of principles. Wimps value only themselves and react to live as it happens with whatever they think best at the time. As Christians we ought to stop our wimp-ish ways and take courage. We need […]
Wiser than the aged and educated
Experience and education are hailed as the great tutors of life in this world. We trust those with experience more than we trust those with mere head knowledge, and we trust those with reputable head knowledge more than we trust those who merely repeat their own opinions. Experience and education are the very best that […]
Do you know God better?
For a Christian, the question “Do you know God?” always has a resounding “Yes!” answer. But do you know God better? Do you know God better than you did your last birthday, last payday, last bath time, last mealtime? “Let us know; let us press on to know the LORD” (Hosea 6:3a). God desires that […]

Non-Bible Biblical Resources
The Bible is the only source of Divine Revelation and is the only authoritative reference point of all things spiritual. Christians are required to read/hear the Bible, study the Bible, memorise the Bible, meditate on the Bible in its own pure, non-annotated form. The Bible is completely sufficient all by itself. However, this does not […]
The God Who Speaks
God is a speaking God. Ten times in Genesis chapter 1, we read that “God said“. The moment man sinned, God again spoke to them. With the first temptation of murder entering mankind’s world in Genesis 4, God initiates a spoken counselling session. God spoke to Noah to implement the plan of salvation from the […]
Why can’t we worship as we please?
In reaction to the Roman Catholic worship practises of the Dark Ages, some of the pre-Reformers and Reformers decided to halt all the traditional elements of worship that the Roman Catholic Church had practised, and to start over with the Scriptures alone as the guide to what worship practises are acceptable or not for Christians. […]
Read your Bible, pray every day
The Children’s Sunday School song of “Read Your Bible, Pray Every Day” echoes a truth about Christianity as basic as the ABC’s are to language. Read your Bible, pray every day,Pray every day, pray every day. Read your Bible, pray every day,And you will grow, grow, grow. And you will grow, grow, grow.And you will […]
