  • No bargain basement in God

    No bargain basement in God

    This period after Christmas is a good time to hopefully find a bargain in the sales. I did a bit of on line shopping myself yesterday. This is unusual for me as I really, really don’t like shopping (it’s up there with going to the dentist) but I do like to find a bargain. I…

  • Sportsmanship….#TestimonyTuesday

    One of the stories from the #Commonwealth Games that caught my eye and I wanted to share with you was this one: In an incredible act of sportsmanship, the Malaysian Badminton coach offers and gives his shoes to the opposing Jamaican Badminton player. The Jamaican’s shoes had been damaged during the match and he would…

  • Sharing is caring..

    The story of Jonah in the bible is an amazing story to me. It was an early bible story that I was taught as a child, but at that stage just it’s simple outline- Jonah runs away from God, big storm, he’s thrown overboard, a whale swallows Jonah, after 3 days the whale spits him…

    As we enter into Holy Week, I want to re-post this for those who don’t yet know Jesus as Lord and Saviour. I urge you – Please don’t leave it too late to choose to accept and follow Jesus. If you are in that valley of decision, then I pray that this Easter, the reason…

  • Joseph – Hero of the Faith (5)

    As we have already seen in the previous post, Joseph demonstrated patience and long suffering through his troubles, which is a fruit of the Holy Spirit of God. Joseph also showed that there was no bitterness or desire for vengeance in his heart even after all that had happened to him. When the opportunity arose…

  • #Testimony Tuesday- Bill’s story – Lessons from my Father

    #Testimony Tuesday- Bill’s story – Lessons from my Father

    It’s my #TestimonyTuesday post and I wanted to share part of my dad’s story. His full name was William Easton Third but everyone called him Bill. Dad was a true inspiration to me. He was born into a poor but happy home in Edinburgh. He lived in a tenement building in Leith which I understand…

  • A Privileged People (Pt Two)

    Yesterday’s post A Privileged People (Pt One) was about the Privileges we enjoy as followers of Jesus Christ. Today’s post is a reminder that with such Privilege comes responsibility. We have responsibilities in our daily walk with Christ in how we behave and how we represent Jesus. A disciple is someone who is learning to…
