F. REMEMBER THAT THERE IS AN ETERNAL DIMENSION THAT WILL EVENTUALLY OVERSHADOW OUR TEMPORARY EARTHLY EXPERIENCE.Sometimes we think that this temporary earthly experience will last forever. When we are going through challenging times, it can feel like things cannot or will not ever change. The truth is that our earthly experience is temporary and constantly…

C. TURN YOUR WORRIES INTO PRAYER.Prayer brings value into our lives, even if we don’t see immediate response. Sometimes our own anxious thoughts can overwhelm us and paralyse us. But as we take these issues and concerns and begin to pray about them, the weight and burden of them is carried over to the Lord.…

A. FOCUS ON THE TRUTH OF GOD’S WORD AND NOT THE PREVAILING INFORMATION.In challenging times, we need to be able to differentiate between truth and information. Information will always be unreliable and changeable, and the truth will always be reliable and certain. Years ago, when I was in the military, I discovered that rumours had…

WE ARE LIVING IN CHALLENGING TIMESWe are certainly living in challenging and uncertain times. Someone recently wrote to me and asked me why we can’t go back to the way things were in the world, 30 to 50 years ago, when there was law-and-order, fear of God, justice, morals, respect, and all the things which…

Psalm 27:5‘For in the day of trouble He will conceal me in His tabernacle; In the secret place of His tent He will hide me; He will lift me up on a rock.’ Trouble is that inevitable part of life. It is completely unavoidable not to face some sort of trouble in the course of…

Psalm 40:2‘He lifted me up from the pit of despair, out of the miry clay; He set my feet upon a rock, and made my footsteps firm.’ Those who are battling with a sense of hopelessness are also close to the Lord’s heart. Hopelessness, depression, and burnout are things that the Lord wants to lift…

THE LORD WANTS TO COME AND LIFT YOU UPYears ago, my Grandmother painted a picture of the Good Shepherd leaning down over a precipice (cliff) taking hold of a lamb that had got lost and stuck on the side of a mountain. It was a painting that left an impression on my young mind. It…

 I believe we will celebrate the giving of the gift of Jesus Christ throughout all eternity. It was not just a moment in history that we recall with ever-fading memories. It is a living thing because Jesus rose from the dead and He lives forevermore. Hebrews 4:12‘For the Word of God is alive and powerful.…

There is something about it that we will never grasp with our human minds. We can try and figure it out and try and make sense of it, so that our human understanding can put it in our little box, but it will always be more than that. Humanity loves to apply its mind and…

The coming of Christ on that first Christmas morning was not only God’s idea, but it was also something He chose to do for mankind. There was no human who helped to achieve what happened on that day. No human being can take any credit for what took place, nor could any person take credit…
