It maybe human nature to find yourself focussing on the blemish or mark of an otherwise perfect flower, or maybe even the stick or plank in your neighbour’s eye. But the only problem is, it not God’s nature..even though He is all knowing, all seeing, and all powerful! As we look again with the eyes … More Seeing with the heart of God
Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but … More Reaching forward
For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David and … More Unto us a Child was born
As we look on the world today, it is easy to reflect on perhaps simpler days, and wonder what has happened to make our world so frail, and even fractured. For many Christians, particularly in the west, we weep as we see the degradation of societal values, effectively denouncing the hundreds (even thousands of years) … More Advent II – Day 26 (It is time)

Throughout the millenniums gone by, even to today, the word of God (prophetic and Scripture) speaks of the faithfulness of God to the ones He calls His remnant.
