Being Happy with what we have

If we look at the 10th commandment it reads as follows

[EXODUS 20:17]

thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any that is thy neighbor’s.

When we begin to look at this it is important to reflect on the fact that a person’s desire has no limits, because desire itself is…

Conscience

Someoneone sad said, “Sincerity is the key to success. If you can fake that, you’ve got it made!”

Unfortunately, a lot of people who profess to be Christians live that way, keeping up a good front to impress others with their spirituality. But if you knew how they really live, you’d find that they are faking it.

We all value authenticity, especially when it comes to our faith. But how…

Pride 1

Two years ago, my family and I came back from our first (and so far) only reunion. My younger children had made rainbows that I had hung in my window, until just recently the last one became too torn to stay. We loved them. Every-time we looked at them, it reminded us of God’s promise.

Did I ever think the neighbours/visitors might think we were supporting pride? Well, yes, I did. That…

Faith however wants to be expressed and should never be mute. Faith speaks; it wants to be expressed in a way others can see. Speech, or Testimony, is of the very nature of faith. And when we discover that we believe, at once we begin to struggle to…

Is Being Good, Enough?

If you believe being a good person is enough to get you into the kingdom of God you’re not alone.

There are many faiths that teach exactly that. It sounds something like,

“ .. you will be rewarded after death if you simply do more good deeds than bad ones.”

But this is not what the Bible teaches

So let’s have a look at what it actually says.

Before we get to scripture we need to have a solid…

Clothing ourselves with Humility

Humility means submission, but not grovelling

Humility and submission go hand in hand.

Peter 5:5-6]

5:5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility; for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. 5…

The Holy Spirit And The Church

In a discussion of the Holy Spirit why is it that we began with the story of creation? The answer to that question is the fact that the creation itself reflects the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Creation itself is an actualization of the Holy Spirit. And the universe is a framework so to speak, in which the Holy Spirit or God through the Spirit is eminent. You remember the other night we talked…
