    Deception – The Gibeonites Story

    It’s #ThrowbackThursday and so I thought today I would publish one of my most regularly viewed posts which just so happens to be (to my pleasant surprise) this story from the Old Testament. If you have not heard of the Gibeonites before then please read on… The bible story of the Gibeonites and how they…

  • Credibility

    Credibility

    “Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, just as they were handed down to us by those who…

    #TestimonyTuesday – Life Verses

    This week at church we did something different. Our Pastor asked us to share our “life verses” or some people call them their “north star verses”. They are verses from the Bible that have guided, helped, encouraged and shaped your walk with the Lord. They can be bible verses that have been lifelines in times…

  • In Green Pastures

    In Green Pastures

    I was searching on my bookcase yesterday for a book by C S Lewis. I know I have it but I couldn’t find it anywhere. I have probably either lent it to someone or put it elsewhere. I easily lose track of my books and am also a bit of a magpie. I did find…

  • Hey Jude!

    Hey Jude!

    Morning all, today’s blog is one that I have posted before, it is not about that famous song by The Beatles but about Jude – it’s that small book in the bible, right near the end, just before Revelation – very easy to miss. It might be small but it certainly packs a punch. It’s…

  • The Final Whistle..

    Sadly, my time as a volunteer has come to an end. It was incredibly good fun but hard work with very early mornings and late nights. In this short time though of just 9 days, the Lord has shown me things and I have learnt more about myself than I expected. Lots of it good…

  • Influence

    Influence

    Influence…this was a word that the Lord spoke to my heart recently and I have been pondering it. It’s very important that I recognise what it is that is influencing me. Ideas or emotions that are shaping my thinking or actions. The Lord wants me to be aware of what is influencing me. Subtle influences…

  • To Know Him

    To Know Him

    The most beautiful moment of my life was accepting Jesus as my Saviour and surrendering my life to Him. Since then discipleship has been a journey of discovery to know Jesus better and more deeply. Jesus came to show us the Father and through faith in Jesus, to enable us to have a relationship with…

  • Lifeline..

    Lifeline..

    On Wednesday at our church prayer meeting, this was the word I heard in my spirit from the Lord – Lifeline. At the same time I saw us all in a boat that was being tossed about in large waves but in the water were people desperate for help. That is when I hear that…

  • The Doldrums

    The Doldrums

    I read a post yesterday which reminded me of something I had written a while ago, and I felt prompted to share it again today. Perhaps there is someone who needs encouragement this morning that there is always hope to move forward. This post is for anyone who may be experiencing a feeling that they…
