Devotional 1st September
Romans 5:1-5 states: “Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing…

I have been pondering lately about Psalm 51:10 says: “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” I know that I am created in God’s image and as a believer I am sealed with God’s Holy Spirit, but I am also painfully aware of how fallible I am…

Devotional Thoughts from Jeremiah: For over a year I have been slowly reading through the book of Jeremiah, all the 52 chapters! It is full of God’s striving with man and man’s rejection of His way. God, through Babylon, delivered the punishment to His wayward people. Jeremiah remains faithful in delivering, even with the threat…

Recently Martin and I attended a Baptism Service for some of my students in Morrinsville. It gave me time to reflect on the importance of baptism in a Christian’s life. Baptism is an exciting and meaningful milestone in the life of a believer. It is an act of faith and obedience to the commands of…

Covenant of Salt Two things attracted my attention to Salt. Firstly, the comments by Jesus in Math 5:13-16. Secondly Numbers 18: 19-20 speaks of a Covenant of Salt with the Levites. The Levites were not given Land, but ‘Our Father’ said to them: “If you care for my people, I will care for you, for…

“Why Christians Need Fellowship” (Reference: Dr. Dale. A Robbins). 1 John 1:7 “But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.” The Bible says “the life is in the blood” (Lev…
Devotional 30th June
I have been challenged about my prayer life recently as I have been reading in the book of Daniel. David Jeremiah, in his “Turning Points” devotional notes, had this to say. Few Agonizers: “Now therefore, our God, hear the prayer of Your servant, and his supplications, and for the Lord’s sake cause Your face to…
Devotional 23rd June
Have you ever had the privilege of meeting the Queen, President or Premier of a ‘World Power’? I haven’t, but I can imagine if I had and there had been a conversation it would have left me with an impression probably lasting the remainder of my life. What power their words would have had! Even…

Our God is a God of order! I really enjoy reading articles from “Creation” magazine (Creation Ministries International Ltd) published quarterly from Australia. What impresses me most is the number of highly educated, professional people who contribute well-researched articles from around the world to proclaim and uphold the truth and authority of the Bible. “Do…
