Come, all of you who are weary with being a part of this wicked world and who are heavy laden under the bondage of sin… let us all return to the Lord in haste! For in His wrathful wisdom, He has torn we sinners to pieces; yet now, because of the blood of Christ, He will heal […]
Let’s consider the old covenant for a moment. So if the priesthood of Levi, on which the law of Moses was based, could have achieved the perfection God intended, why did God then need to establish a different priesthood, with a new type of Priest who was in the order of Melchizedek, instead of the […]
Who can win this battle against the world, and against the devil? The hard truth is that it’s only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God who can overcome. So, set yourself to be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Believe me, it is VERY advisable (once you are […]
Did you know? When you first came to Christ, you were actually “circumcised,” but not by a physical procedure. Christ performed a spiritual circumcision on you – the cutting away of your sinful nature.

As I work my day job as a painter and decorator, much […]
Roughly this time last year, I had just come back from a funeral of an old (literally!) friend, who died at the ripe age of 94. During life, he was what most would consider ‘just a normal man’, in many ways; dressing in a manner befitting of an honourable British gent; hard working in a […]
There is a modern day maxim, a secular exhortation, that is pushed from every which way in our Westernised, overly romantic media. There are countless songs or poems encouraging us all to just ‘trust our heart’, explaining to us that we can find our answers there, especially when it comes to the issue of romantic […]
Dear friends, it shouldn’t be surprising to any of us that there are ‘fiery’ trials to go through, especially when we follow Jesus as His genuinely committed disciples, for He made it as clear as day in His word that the rest of the world will hate us in the same way that it also […]
