Romans 8:28 “We are assured and know that all things work together and are for good to and for those who love God and are called according to His design and purpose.”Ever wondered what it means to “hang on”, or “hold on” or “just have faith” or my personal favourite “It will get better”? The regular words our friends use to encourage us when we’re going through a hard time. No condemnation here. In fact I’ve used those word […]
And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, verily I say unto you, Except you be converted and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

These are hard words and actions, very […]
“Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation (Effectual covering) for our sins. 1 John 4:10 I can remember hearing this verse ministered on, when I was still a teenager! (yes that’s a looooong time ago). But I was reminded of it again in preparing for ladies camp this weekend.
