We, along with friends and folk from two different churches, are mid-way into a 21-day Daniel-type fast. It has been an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Fasting allows us to reflect slowly and with purpose. Making a determined choice to do without something, for a period of time, something we enjoy on a daily basis causes…
by Dr. Ed Khouri, Excerpts from the first chapter of the book, “Becoming a Face of Grace“. [I recently read the book “Becoming a Face of Grace” by Dr. Ed Khouri and was most impressed. The importance of the development of healthy, mature relationships, in the context of Grace, is eloquently presented. This book is…
It would be wonderful to think that GRACE is revolutionary on its own. It certainly came over that way when first presented in the New Testament. Jesus’ death and resurrection, and the coming of the Holy Spirit paved the way for the introduction of Grace. All believers in Jesus are made righteous without the need for Law. Radical?

What if today, not just the future, was to be lived with joyful expectancy, a day lived well?I really believe the Holy Spirit is inviting us to live in His presence, and from that place, to live confidently and full of trust. He is inviting us to respond with intentional steps towards Him and then…
He who began a good work in you will complete it. Paul’s Epistle to the Philippians is a gem of a book. there is so much contained there that invites you to stop and ponder. How do we develop “the mind of Christ” (Phil 2)? How do we partner with God to allow Him to…
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Going for a Grace Reformation? October 31, 2017, marked the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther’s Reformation. He started a Grace Revolution that we most certainly need to continue. The Apostle Paul, following on from Jesus, and actually taught by Jesus, started the first Grace Reformation by announcing that Jesus has introduced a new “Administration…
