Most people trust in their wealth, and may even boast of their great riches. Yet no one can ever redeem themselves from death, even if they were to try to pay their ransom to God with their pitiful gold! Redemption of the soul does not come nearly so easy, for no sinner could ever pay […]

Pray this with me: Our gracious heavenly Father, Lord, I recognise and appreciate that You alone are the one who softens and purifies hearts. I confess that my heart was like a cold, sharp stone before I met You; full of selfishness, resentment, bitterness and pain, that caused me to be hard and uncompromising with […]
Let me ask you this one question: Did you receive the Holy Spirit by obeying the law of Moses? Of course you didn’t! You received the Spirit because you believed the message you heard about Christ. Why, then, was the law given? Well, it was given alongside ‘the promise’ to show people their sins. God […]

We must ALL worship the Lord our God and serve ONLY Him, ALL the time! ‘Of course’, you might say, ‘that’s true and I believe it’; yet many of us even as believers will inadvertently put people, things and/or situations before Him, almost daily. We must continue to fight our flesh, which […]
The bible compels us to realise that the Spirit ALONE gives eternal life; human effort accomplishes nothing in itself in this regard. The very words Jesus spoke to us are both Spirit and life. If you belong to Him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads […]
