God is interested in everybody including those who hate or ignore Him!

In case you are interested ...

A private space for us to converse and connect

31/08/2022

We continue with our discussion on the contents of the New Testament as we take an overview of the books that make up the New Testament division of the Bible.

28/08/2022

As we scrutinize Peter's opening remark as he began to preach in Cornelius' home, we see what Peter meant by the statement, "God shows no partiality", and the lessons it holds for us, today's Christians.

24/08/2022

We now take a deeper look at the New Testament as we focus on its contents, beginning with the New Covenant, which is the core of the New Testament.

21/08/2022

In this second part of "Speaking in Tongues", we look at the essence of 'tongues' and how we can avoid the abuse/misuse of 'tongues'.

17/08/2022

We take a look at what the New Testament is. And we look at what is required to get saved.

14/08/2022

After Peter arrived at Cornelius' house, Cornelius told him of the angelic visit and the instruction to summon him to speak to them. The Holy Spirit fell on them as Peter spoke, and they began to speak in tongues. This two-part series discusses what speaking in tongues is, how we can get to speak in tongues, why we should speak in tongues and the abuse/misuse of speaking in tongues. In this first part, we speak of the first two.

27/07/2022

Seeing that the Old Testament has its fulfilment in Jesus Christ, one wonders if the Old Testament is relevant to New Testament believers. This is the discussion in this episode.

24/07/2022

We note some salient matters surrounding God's communication with Cornelius and Peter. We also learn some crucial lessons regarding God's word to us through third parties and the need for us to have a paradigm shift.

20/07/2022

We now turn our attention to the first of the two main divisions of the Bible, the Old Testament. We look at what the Old Testament is about in general terms.

17/07/2022

Having discussed dreams and visions in the first part of our talk on divine communication by revelation, we now discuss trances. We also give a word of caution on communication by revelation so that we are not deceived.

13/07/2022

We examine the basis on which the books in the Bible are accepted as the written word of God. We also consider the Hebrew Bible, essentially the Old Testament of the Bible, and the Apocrypha, which are books not accepted in the Bible (though they are included in the Roman Catholic Bible).

10/07/2022

We look at how God communicated with Cornelius and Peter and used those as the basis for studying how God communicates with us by revelation. In this first instalment, we look at dreams and visions.

06/07/2022

We begin a study on the written word of God, which is contained in the Bible. This first instalment is an overview of the Bible and its divisions.

03/07/2022

We come to the concluding part of our discussion on "A Call to Prayer", and we look at the cost of prayer. We note that there is a price to prayer which every Christian must pay to pray through and breakthrough. We hope that as we consider the cost elements, we will assess our areas of deficiency and call on heaven to grant us the grace needed to be able to adequately pray through.

29/06/2022

As we begin a new theme, we look at what the theme, "The Word of God", means in all its ramifications.

26/06/2022

22/06/2022

We conclude our discussion on giving as we consider the benefits of giving. Whilst benefits or rewards for giving to others should not be the motivation for giving; we should nonetheless state the benefits or rewards for giving with the right motive.

19/06/2022

15/06/2022

We come to an aspect of giving, which deals with when God demands that you give to Him. Why would an All-Sufficient God ask a mere mortal for something? And in making this request, is He not compelling us rather than allowing us to give willingly? From the Scriptures, we see how God requested people to give to Him and how they responded. We also note why God asks us for something when He could have provided it without us.

12/06/2022

We conclude our discussion on Cornelius' conversion by noting three significant aspects of what is needed to be saved.

08/06/2022

As we continue to look at the story of the widow who gave two mites, we see what she said by her giving without uttering a word.

05/06/2022

Following the conversion of Cornelius, a Roman officer, we learn lessons about conversion/salvation. In this first part, we look at who Cornelius was and make some observations about stereotyping. We also see what does not constitute salvation.

01/06/2022

Using the widow's story in Mark 12:41-44, we consider God's perspective on our giving.
