Psalm 139:12 “Even the darkness is not dark to You. And the night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are alike to You.” Not too many people have a dark room in their house but I know a couple who did. Complete darkness was critical for successful development of their film. Just like the negatives we can find ourselves in the “dark room” of life being developed into the image of God.Someti...  Read More

 James 2:26“As the body without the Spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.” How do you know that your life has been changed by the power of God? Well, how do you know that a high voltage electrical line has touched you? When a person comes into a relationship with God through His Son, Jesus Christ, it is very obvious to the one who has received this new life and to the people close to Him...  Read More

Revelation 21:4“And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” The world can feel kind of crazy at times. With all that is happening, from politics to protests to pandemics it’s fair to wonder where God is in the midst of it.God is where He always is, on His throne and in...  Read More

John 15:12-17“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to ...  Read More

There are so many movies where some criminal tries to steal the Crown and the crown Jewels.  Johnny English is one of my favourite examples. Till this day though we hardly ever see anybody wear the crown, yet it is still one of the most valuable possessions to the royal family.  Why is it so valuable? Is it because of the amount of Gold and rare gems that it’s made of, maybe… But I’m pretty sure t...  Read More

Proverbs 3:5-9“Trust in the Lord…Fear the Lord…Honor the Lord” In order to receive the blessing of God, we must trust Him. Trusting God is not some mere token confession you make from time to time. Trusting God must be complete, total, daily reliance upon the promises of God. Every day you will face the choice of relying upon your own understanding or trusting Him.You and I must choose to trust Go...  Read More

Luke 22:45-46“When he rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, he found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow. ‘Why are you sleeping?’ he asked them. ‘Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.’” Right after these verses, Peter goes on to cut off a servant’s ear, denies Jesus three times and then cries bitterly. Not a very good night for Peter.Jesus had asked the disciples to ...  Read More

1 Peter 3:15“But in your hearts honour Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect.” The guest room is an interesting spot, an invaluable space when needed yet not always fully prepared.  It can sit unused and untouched until you hear someone is on the way and then it becomes a p...  Read More

Proverbs 3:5-6“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” God expects His people to trust Him, and He is a trustworthy God! We were created to live our lives in dependence upon Him. Our knowledge is incomplete, our wisdom is inadequate, our power is ineffective; thus, we need our Creator. Si...  Read More

Philippians 2:5-8"In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—eve...  Read More

Colossians 2:7"…continue to live your lives in Christ, ROOTED and built up in him…” Matthew 9:36"When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then He said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few." Churches are closing. Church attendance is down. So people don’t want Jesus anymore?...  Read More

Proverbs 3:5-6“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.”   There are two ways people live their lives as they pass through this world – either remembering God or forgetting Him. They either acknowledge His presence and live their lives in dependence on Him, or they pay no attention to His c...  Read More
