The Christian Life is a Battleground… I finally understood what that meant.

I learned over the last few weeks that the Christian life is a battleground. It’s something that we’ve all known and it’s something that we’ve been taught over the years. I always thought I knew this as well, until I realised what a battleground means. A few Sundays back, I had a fabulous encounter withContinue reading “The Christian Life is a Battleground… I finally understood what that meant.”

Skinny = Good, Right?

Over the last few years, due to several factors, mainly me not saying no to food, has seen me gain over 60 kilos in less than 10 years. I thought it let me off the hook if I blamed my circumstances, or my relationships or the fact that delicious food was unhealthy and what not.Continue reading “Skinny = Good, Right?”

Your NOW is NOT how it ends

What you see is not what it is. There are so many layers to your life. People will look at where you are now and make decisions and have opinions on everything you’re going through. “You didn’t pray enough. You harboured un-forgiveness. You need Jesus. Have you backslidden?” It’s absolutely enthralling how the human mindContinue reading “Your NOW is NOT how it ends”
