Romans 6:11 – Be ALIVE TO GOD, alert to Him, through Jesus Christ our Lord!
When we talk to God we can ask Him for those things that we may need. I am so glad that we can approach God in this way. Matthew 6:6 But when you pray, go away by yourself, all alone, and shut the door behind you and pray to your Father secretly, and your Father,…
The Bibles calls God the ‘Father of compassion!’ But what is compassion? Definition: Compassion – ‘The sympathetic consciousness of others’ distress together with a desire to alleviate it!’ This word ‘compassion’ comes from the Greek root word oiktirmos which includes aspects of pity, compassion, favor, grace and mercy and is translated in English as ‘compassion’!

Comfort for me is having exactly what I need when I need it! That is comfort. As a small child I would battle with sadness. It happened for no apparent reason. I would just become sad. My mother would be able to identify it when it happened. It was no good if people asked me…

What is prayer? Prayer is simply just talking to God. I think that many people pray more than they realise, but because we have complicated prayer and turned it into a formal religious endeavour, we step back from prayer. God just wants us to talk to Him. Prayer is the communication process between us and…
Hebrews 4:14 – 16 (Vs 16): So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it. Some things in life we complicate. It often seems that the simple things in life become so complicated that…
2 Timothy 3:1-5 There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form…
