Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. These are the words that kicked off the ministry of both John the Baptist (Matthew 3:2) and Jesus (Matthew 4:17). Although I knew this, the Lord really highlighted it to me again this week – and then as I studied it – I felt the […]
We have often heard the saying, “Large doors swing open on small hinges.” As we step into the new year, what are the small adjustments we need to make that will allow us to walk through the doorways and embrace all that God has purposed to open for us? The question is important […]
In these times when all absolutes are under attack and being destroyed in the hearts and minds of this present generation, it is vital to know that God has absolutes. God, His Word, His name and His truth stand out as eternal absolutes – The Divine Plumbline – unchanged and unchanging, forever reliable. […]
It is always such a joy for me to spend time in nature. No Internet, no shops close by, and no man-made distractions. Ken and I have recently been privileged to revisit Black Rhino Game Reserve in South Africa, where we stay in a lodge in the middle of the reserve, and at […]

A number of years ago, while living on a small farm in South Africa, my mom was visiting us from Durban. As always, these times were very precious. We were all relaxed, enjoying our time together, when suddenly, we heard some gun shots. They were very close to our home. Ken and […]
Many years ago, the Lord spoke clearly to us about going to Taiwan for an outreach. The cost in those days was about R11 000 (South African monetary exchange), but we didn’t have the money. We saved what we could, and as the time came nearer, we only had R700, but we knew […]
Have you ever wondered why the Bible doesn’t give more detailed accounts of the prayers of Jesus when He would go off onto a mountainside or somewhere else alone to be with His Father and pray? He answers that indirectly with this instruction about prayer in what we call ‘the sermon on the mount.’ Consider […]
God speaks of “times of refreshing,” seasons when we sense a greater awareness of His presence and manifestation of His Kingdom here on earth.
