So I'm looking at Matthew today, and I wanted to talk a little bit on Matthew 1. Quite a basic chapter right? A geneaology of Christ's history. A 'Whos Who' of Old Testament heavyweights. Simples. As I read it, I became so immersed in the names of who begat who, that I nearly missed it. … Continue reading Women in the Bible: Matthew 1

I see her as one of my spiritual mentors, as her videos, teachings, music and books have really helped me overcome some of the standard challenges associated with being a young woman in Christ.

Preachers and Teachers: Leonard Ravenhill
One of my favourite all-time preachers is Leonard Ravenhill. Mr Ravenhill was a wonderful Pastor from the United Kingdom, and since watching his videos online, I have been challenged, corrected, chastised and encouraged. You may see me post a quote or two, but I also wanted to share a really good video on discipleship. You … Continue reading Preachers and Teachers: Leonard Ravenhill

July has been tough. Only 11 days in, and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that this month has been the most difficult month for me so far this year.

Day 44: Who Do You Trust?
Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the Lord! -Isaiah 31:1 This verse simply reminds us that we should look … Continue reading Day 44: Who Do You Trust?

Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Lord, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee. -Isaiah 26:8 Hold up.

Day 34: The Greatest Lie Christians Were Ever Told (and Some of Us Are Still Believing)
As I was praying this morning, something came to my mind - one of the lies the enemy has told Christians regarding our faith.

Do not be deceived - the way in which you conduct the message of … Continue reading Day 34: The Greatest Lie Christians Were Ever Told (and Some of Us Are Still Believing)
