“If anyone claims, ‘I am living in the light,’ but hates a fellow believer, that person is still living in darkness” (1 John 2:9 NLT). What does it mean to live in the light? Explore with us as we continue our series on the book of 1 John.
What are the scientific and spiritual effects of confession? Why is being vulnerable so healing?
We’re continuing our series on “Reasons to Believe.” Part 2 will look at the question of origins.
I recently had fraudulent activity on one of my credit cards. The person went on a shopping spree, purchasing at various cell phone stores, online stores, grocery stores, etc. All in all, over $2500 worth.
I had to call my credit card company and explain that I had not authorised those transactions; they had been purchased “in my name” without my consent.
Have you ever wondered about the meaning of the third commandment, “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain” (Exodus 20:7 NKJV)?

"But those who drink the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life." John 4:14
We’re starting a new series on “Reasons to Believe.” Part 1 will look at why we can believe that the Bible is the word of God.
Some things in life seem too good to be true… We have accustomed ourselves to look for trouble and therefore take control of our lives. We do this with spiritual matters also. Watch to explore how.
I’ve been going through a weight-loss program called “Noom.” Truth be told, I did really well the first 2 weeks (lost 2 kgs) but then it was my birthday weekend, we had our father-in-law with us for 3 weeks, and many more excuses later I’ve gained back everything and then some. But while I haven’t been 100% committed to the nutrition, exercise, and sleep recommendations on the program, I have been reading the daily tips pretty faithfully.
“Noom” provides psychological, scientific and practical tips each day to help you modify your thinking & behaviour.
Today, it told me the physiological effects of stress (that includes weight gain) and reminded me to start each day with a smile and enjoy JOMO (joy of missing out). It also told me to forget my to-do list and start the day with a “done” list. Huh?

The Parables of the Wheat and Tares teaches us how to be patient with difficult people and circumstances.
I was driving when Joshua cried out, “Rain!” I sighed, anticipating tugging two wet children through the streets. But Micah said, “Mummy, the rain is good! It makes the flowers grow.”
And so it does.
I’ve been reading the Book of Ezra for my personal devotions and was struck by the dual reaction of the Jewish exiles when they returned to Jerusalem and rebuilt the foundation of the Temple.
The first temple built by King Solomon had been destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BC and the Jewish people taken captive. When God moved King Cyrus of Persia (who had conquered Babylon as prophesied) to empower the Jewish exiles to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem in 538 BC, nearly 50,000 people fulfilled that call.
