He’s One of Mine
The beginning of Thor: Love and Thunder sets the scene of a man staggering through a barren desert land. His daughter has just died and in his grieving state, he stumbles across the dry, hot, dusty land. He is the picture of suffering: Chapped lips, cracked skin, tears leaving wet trails across his dusty face.…
August Update
Can you believe it’s already time for another newsletter? These days, I feel like I’m constantly trying to catch up on these updates. It’s been a busy month, and so many amazing things have been happening! MBH+ABH Outing We were able to get together with all the ABH babies this month and had a really…
July Newsletter
July has definitely been the highlight of my whole year. It was packed with fellowship, hard work, encouragement, new friendships, and so much joy. I wish I could include all the pictures that were taken this past month, but hopefully these few photos give you a idea of all the things that happened! =) The…
J-J-June
Winter has officially arrived in South Africa! We’ve had some proper cold days with icy wind and freezing rain. However, that hasn’t slowed us down. June has been so busy; I feel like I just blinked and it’s already the beginning of July! With that, enjoy this update. =) We officially welcomed a new intern…
May Happenings
It’s that time of the month again! While May has felt normal, without much out of the ordinary happening, it has been pretty busy. However, in the middle of the busyness, it has been so encouraging to receive messages from so many of you, asking about my work. It always encourages and comforts me to…
God Killers
Recently, a guest writer for the New York Times wrote an article focusing on God and how now is the time to pass over Him. The article pleads with people to kill God, for how could we worship a God who allows pain and suffering? According to the author, we should even turn our children…
April Update
It’s that time of the month again! And what a busy month it has been. Each week has been packed with God’s goodness and mercy, seeping through every moment of every day. As I reflect over the past month, I am so thankful for many things. Here are some highlights! At the beginning of the…
The Desert Sings
The oppressive sun beat on the backs of the young children. Three months had passed since their arrival on the cotton farm; kidnapped from their homes by ruthless and merciless slave masters looking for free labour, they had given up hope of ever seeing their families again. Each day dragged on to the next as…
MBH Update #1
This month has flown by so fast! While we are aiming for me to settle in fully as the MBH manager on the 1st of April, I have slowly been taking over many of the roles of the former baby home manager since the beginning of February. The month of February and beginning of March…
Down in the Valley
It all started with a single loud shout. In seconds, we were surrounded by angry men waving guns in our faces, yelling and swearing. Chaos followed as I watched my worst fear unfold right in front of me. Moments later, I lay on the cold floor with the rest of my family, hands and feet…
Life Update
Hi friends! I am so excited to share this huge life update with you! For some background, the church I am a member of (Living Hope Church), is closely tied to a place of safety for babies that have either been abandoned or whose parents are not able to take care of them. To read…
Come Adore
Forever. It is hard to comprehend just how long that is. The human mind struggles to wrap around the notion of time that stretches on and on, without an end. Eternity tugs at the heart of man as we struggle to imagine what living in an eternal state will actually be like. However, that does…
Blood Water
Swords drawn, three mighty warriors charged a line of enemies. These enemies were vicious and violent, well known for their cruel and merciless torture. Yet, these three men entered into the battle boldly. They fought with courage, breaking into the garrison. Victorious, the men returned with their plunder. They stood before King David and presented…
New Year, Old Promises
With the start of every new year often comes the feeling of hope. Hope that this year will be different. This year, those resolutions will be kept. This year the exercise routine will be strictly followed. This year, the devotional plan will be finished. This year, sin will be conquered and holiness mastered. Many do…
And So, We Wait
From the moment Eve ate from the forbidden tree, all of Creation has been waiting. Waiting, for the promised Seed who would defeat sin and death, and crush the head of the deceiving Serpent. Waiting, for a Son to be born. Waiting, for a Prince. Waiting, for Emmanuel. The cry of a baby cuts through…
Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silent
Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given to me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. John 17:24 It is safe to say that one of our deepest desires as human beings is…
The Taste of Eternity
The world scoffs at God at every chance it gets. Sinners abhor God’s laws, mocking His rule and Word. They foolishly plot to overthrow God and crown themselves king, just as Satan himself plotted to enthroned himself as God of all. Mankind is foolish enough to believe this is possible. To overthrow the King of…
A Friend To Sinners
In a world set in selfishness and personal gain, true friendship is hard to find. It is a rare gem, and sadly, a gem that is not treasured. It has become something that is easily thrown aside in a moment of anger. We do not cherish true friends, nor are we quick to be a…
To The Weary Heart
Living in an age where everything is instant and easily accessible, fighting for purity is nothing less than all out war. The world pulls and draws us with all it has to offer, tugging and then yanking at the perverted desires within our hearts. Regardless of where we turn or look, we find ourselves constantly…
The First To Arrive
Imagine for a moment you are Abel. Just for a moment, put yourself in his shoes and look at life through his eyes. You are walking in the field with your brother when you feel a sudden explosion of pain. And then, nothing. Slowly, you open your eyes. You awake, not to a fallen and…
Itchy Eyes
A preference not fulfilled, a desire not met, and the stage is set. In walks a person. In an instant he lashes out. He slanders and fights, harbouring all bitterness and grievances. He finds personal joy in condemning others as he makes himself the judge, bringing the gavel down with a hard, final, merciless blow.…
Truly Blessed: Part 4
Thirst. Hunger. We all know these feelings. Every day reminds us of the reality that food and water are necessary for survival. With each new day we are reminded that we are never fully satisfied; there is nothing that fully fills our stomachs nor any drink that fully satisfies our thirst. However, we still search…
Truly Blessed: Part 3
After mourning comes the reality of our truly humble state before God. When we see how desperate we are in the presence of such a holy and mighty God, we are silenced, placing our hands over our mouths. The first spark of true meekness begins to bloom and grow in our hearts as we come…
Truly Blessed: Part 2
In a world that seeks a quick fix for bad feelings, the phrase, “blessed are those who mourn” is an extremely foreign and unwelcome thought. Bad feelings and emotions are discouraged as many seek the next distraction from any negative experience. For the one who has come face to face with his own spiritual depravity,…
Truly Blessed: Part 1
Humility grates against our natural fallen instinct to be first, to be right, to be important, to be recognised. Our greedy hands grasp at any form of praise pointed our way, often exaggerating our roles in stories to look good. We hate being wronged and are quick to seek out retribution when our rights are…
Who is the Greatest?
People love being noticed. We love having places of honour and importance. Our ears prick up when we hear our name being praised. Our hearts silently rejoice when we are given titles, as we strive to be set apart from others as great. Our ultimate motivation is to be the greatest, as we put all…
To Be Known
A human egg cell is about the size of a grain of sand, approximately 0.1mm. All humans start off this size: tiny and minute, unable to even keep ourselves alive. To any passer-by, this cell would seem like a piece of fluff, an insignificant tiny speck. The beauty of this phenomenon is that these little…
His Lamb
A father and his son walked quietly side by side, slowly approaching the mountain before them. They had been travelling for three days to make a sacrifice to their God. Yet, the son was perplexed. where was the lamb? Breaking the silence, he asked his father to explain this confusing situation. “God Himself will provide…
To These Hard Hearts
As dependant creatures, there is seldom a moment when we do not require the aid of others. Yet, even in our dependence and reliance, it is very hard for us to ask for help when we truly need it. We hate to admit defeat, and even when we do give in, we are sure to…
You No Longer Belong Here
The sun beat down on those gathered around a pool. The crowd, made up of suffering and broken people, groaned in unison as the agony was prolonged into a new day. Each person had a story, a tale of pain and woe, and each story ended with these same people seeking relief from their torment.…
A While Longer
On the 30th of July, 2021, Tatjana Schoenmaker broke the world record for the fastest 200m breaststroke. A photographer captured the moment she realised what she had just accomplished; the look of shock and joy combined into one as she burst into tears. Years of hard work, sacrifice, discipline and training had been worth it.…
For We Are Not Ashamed
The story of Hosea and Gomer is shocking. One can imagine the scandal surrounding Hosea’s marriage to a harlot: scandal that only grew every time she left him. Yet, Hosea constantly pursues his adulterous wife, bringing her back and loving her every time she leaves him. The images of betrayal and breaking of covenants are…
The Creator’s Hope
History bares witness to the reality that the world is a dark place. Every age has seen horrible and terrible things occurring as again and again the just suffer while the wicked revel in their wickedness. Our frustration builds as the spiral of unchecked, unbridled corruption and cruelty continues down, deeper and deeper. It is…
Free Yet Unyielding
A man walked out of the palace with a slight spring in his step. The smile on his face was impossible to hide; he could not contain the joy he felt. The feeling of liberty seeped deep into his soul. The king had freed him of an immense debt. The heavy feeling of owing so…
Oh For Eyes That Truly See
From the moment of the Fall, Creation has been yearning for the arrival of the promised Seed. Humanity has waited in eager expectation for the Saviour of the World to come and make all things new. With the birth of each new baby boy, the World has asked, “Is this the promised One? Is this…
But God: Part 2
While these two precious words have changed our personal standing before God for all eternity, this is not the only change that occurs. The words “But God” have changed the way we interact with each other too. All of life becomes infused with the furthering of God’s Kingdom with others. No longer is the centre…
But God: Part 1
The human heart is naturally hostile towards God. We naturally rage and wage war with our Creator. We naturally hate the King of the Universe, doing everything in our power to spite Him and mock Him. Our hearts are wicked, darkened with every evil desire that tickles our fancy. Every external action reflects the sin…
Hear and Forgive
You surely know that feeling in the pit of your stomach when an unkind word slips out; when you act and speak without thinking, only to realise the full implications of those words or actions moments later. The feeling grows when you realise there is no undoing what you have just done. The words have…
Wasted Pain: Part Two
We see a beautiful truth in these three examples: in Daniel’s three friends, in Job’s suffering, and Saul’s conversion to Paul. While all of their trials and sufferings were for a purpose, they also took the opportunity to use their suffering for the glory of God. They themselves did not waste their pain, but took…
Wasted Pain: Part One
Three men stood before a blazing, fiery furnace, flames leaping from its mouth. They faced certain death and immanent suffering, all for refusing to worship a false god. These three men faced intense pain not for doing something wrong, but for proclaiming God as the one true God. The honour and glory of God was…
How Long?
In the middle of all that is happening in our current age, it is easy to get discouraged. It is easy to slip into despondency as we watch sin run unchecked so often, as people seem to just do as they please. Violence, hatred, crime, and so forth, leave a bitter taste as we watch…
A Fierce Friend
The World is a harsh place. It is self-centered and self-exhalting, where everyone is for himself and himself alone. It is a place where people are prepared to destroy any who get in their way, as each person grasps for success, fame, or money. The pile of bodies grows higher and higher as people claw…
For The Cause
Life is hard. It batters and bruises, and tries to destroy at every turn. Most weeks end with us feeling as if we are hanging on by a thread, as we stare down the gloomy abyss of a new day, another Monday, another start to a long week. Some weeks leave us scrounging for joy…
To The Lonely Heart
Loneliness is a hard battle to fight. It is tiring, draining, and discouraging. It takes you through dark places and through deep valleys. It is a silent battle. But mostly, it is a battle you do, alone. This is one of the main reasons why loneliness is so intense. You can be surrounded by friends…
This Is War
This one statement is so absolutely true for every Christian. This truly is a war. From the moment you become mentally conscious in the morning to the moment you fall asleep, (and at times, even in your dreams), you are engaging in a war. I believe it is easy for us as Christians to minimise…
Through Mighty Waters
One can only imagine the deep awe the Israelites felt as they watched the sea part before them. Behind them marched a ruthless enemy bent on their destruction. Before them, the power of God was being put on display. A massive wall of water stood towering over the people on either side of a dry…
Why Will You Die: Part 2
But in that moment, something beautiful happens. We see the mighty God choose to become Man, to save you from the path you yourself have chosen. He plucks your rotting corpse from the filth as He breathes life into your dead lungs. He removes your hard, cold heart of stone and in its place He…
Why Will You Die: Part 1
Imagine this. You’re hosting a fancy dinner that has taken you days to prepare. You’ve gone all out. You’ve provided exquisite food, paired with expensive and rare wines. You’ve decorated your dining room with beautiful table settings and linen, sparing no expense to make your guests feel comfortable. As the time to eat approaches, you…
For You
Faithful people are hard to come by. Even trustworthy people have broken promises. In a broken world, trust is earned slowly and can be lost in a single moment of failure. Even important and powerful people break their word. Presidents who promise a total reform fail to fulfill their word, and when those who desire…
To the Uttermost
The boat dipped and fell with each swell of the waves. Terrified, the people on the boat tried in vain to control their vessel as the heavy wind battered them mercilessly. To add to the terror of this moment, they could see a figure walking, not on the land, but the water itself. They were…
Creation’s Song
Do not the mountains praise Him when the woods upon their summits wave in adoration? Does not the lightning write His name in letters of fire? Has not the whole earth a voice? And shall I, can I, silent be? Charles Spurgeon Think of your favourite song. Think of its melody and harmony; the tune…
The Sting of Death
A YouTuber I follow recently posted a video explaining why he would not be posting content for a while. His father has unexpectedly died and, understandably, his death had left the family shaken and heart-broken. He closed the video by saying he had always anticipated that the death of a close family member or loved…
To Step And Step And Step
Life can be heavy. It can be wearisome. The author of Ecclesiastes captures this weariness perfectly. He paints a bleak picture of life’s repetitiveness. Men and women work hard to sustain daily living, only to wake up to a new day and begin it all again. In the seemingly never ending circle of mundaneness, the…
Creation’s Story Part 1
“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth.” Genesis 1:1-2 ESV Darkness. Nothing. Imagine for a moment what Nothing would look like. Nothing appears when you close your eyes. Nothing surrounds us in a darkness so complete that you wouldn’t see your hand right before your eyes. It can leave us feeling unnerved,…
It’s Not Enough: Part Two
Yet, we need to come to this conclusion. We need to see the vanity of every avenue of life that rejects God as its centre, its core, its goal. We need to fully and deeply feel the despair of realising that every turn ends with the same answer: this is not enough. We need to…
It’s Not Enough: Part One
From his first steps away from Paradise and towards a cursed land, mankind has been on a frantic and long search. A search for something, anything, that will satisfy the deepest longings of the human soul. A search for contentment. And while this journey has lasted for over thousands of years, mankind has failed to…
On Love
What is love? In a world where love is portrayed as anything but what it truly is, it is essential to have this question answered. May we be Christians who are confident in the answer, as we shock the world with a beautiful, unfathomable love. Love is patient. Love is not quick to become angry,…
Resolved: To Stand, To Fight, To Live
In John Bunyan’s “Pilgrim’s Progress”, he tells the story of a soldier entering a deadly battle. In front of him stands an army of vicious, merciless and brutal men. They draw their swords, ready to end this man’s life. Their single thought is to see how much harm they can cause this man- how much…
Thank You =)
One year ago exactly, I started my blog. I did not have very big expectations for it, thinking it would have only a couple of readers and assuming it would be lost among the sea of bloggers on the internet. However, I was pleasantly surprised. One year later, my blog has reached almost 2,000 views…
The Last Noël
Goodbyes are hard. They are usually filled with joy and sorrow, with bitter-sweet moments mixed with the anticipation of seeing that person again. Goodbyes are the hardest when you know you will never see each other again, when you know this is the last hug, the last mutual smile, the last moment together. These goodbyes…
My Eyes Have Seen Glory
An old woman stood surveying the Temple courts. She had seen these courts filled again and again with a suffering people: people cheated out of their pitiful salary by greedy tax collectors, people bent over by exhaustion and depression, people whose faces were marked by intense longing and groaning, people who desperately needed a saviour.…
At Last, The King
The night was dark, cold and quiet. The sound of grass rustling in the wind momentarly interrupted with the soft bleating of sheep. With the sheep sat the outcasts, men rejected by their nation as unclean and defiled. Shouldering the cold, the shepherds settled in, ready for a long, lonely night of tending their flock.…
Like the Breaking of Dawn
The enemy was closing in on every side. The inner walls had been breached. Soldiers lay dying or dead all around the frantic king. Hope had faded long ago, and was close to being snuffed out completely. Victory seemed impossible as the cruel and merciless enemy advanced closer and closer. Feeling that the end was…
Humility Hurts
At the beginning of every new year, I choose one area of my life that I want to grow in. It could be something like becoming more organised and neat, or learning to become more patient or kind. At the beginning of this year, my prayer was that God would help me to grow in…
Is He Worthy?
Loud, heavy sobs fill Heaven’s halls. Even standing in the presence of mighty and glorious beings, John cannot help but weep. Was there no one worthy of opening the scroll that lay in the hand of the One seated on the throne? Was there no one righteous enough, no one who had the right to…
It Whispers
It is a common feeling; you wish you could run. The feeling of your insides twisting, making you feel sick to your core. The feeling of regret and wishing you could just undo or redo the past few moments. The feeling of wanting to be anywhere but before the searching eyes of God. The feeling…
Swallowed Up By Life
Life is full of groaning. Often, it is silent groaning, but groaning none the less. We groan through hardships, when life hits just a bit too close to home. We groan as we watch death claim the lives of loved ones, as we witness savage crimes against innocent people, as we experience sorrow too deep…
The Father, The Dragon, The Arrow
Fire engulfs the city as the smoky night sky glows red. Screaming and terrified people try and escape from the flaming wrath of an angry dragon. A single man stands between the dragon and the people. Using his son’s shoulder to rest and aim the arrow, the father sets his last arrow on its target:…
When Evil Wins
We all know what injustice feels like. We know what it feels like to be taken advantage of or cheated. It is not a good feeling; it is horrible to watch someone charge you more than they should or do a half job when you pay them for a service. The feeling of injustice is…
Home, At Last.
Home. A warm place. A place that, usually, brings feelings of fondness and nostalgia. It is a place that makes you feel safe and welcome. It is a place where you feel free to be yourself without worrying about what others think. Home is more than just a physical dwelling or brick walls. It is…
A Second Crucifixion
What are we, that we should think to stand before Him, at whose rebuke the earth trembles, and before whom the rocks are thrown down? Jonathan Edwards Living in a society where crucifixion is practically non-existent, it is hard to imagine or picture the true intensity and brutality of such a death. We cannot physically…
To the Depressed Heart
Depression is real. Many times, it may be disguised behind a friendly smile or a bubbly personality, and takes you by surprise when it randomly comes up in a passing conversation. The more people I get to know, the more I realise how many Christians really struggle with depression. The more I see it and…
To The Death
We need heros. In such a broken, dark and painful world, we need them. True heros are sparks of hope on this world’s backdrop of suffering.
Cultivate The Wonder
If you Google “most beautiful places in the world” you will see some pretty amazing things. Creation is filled with scenery that literally takes your breath away. From high mountains to deep oceans, we are surrounded by awe and wonder. Life itself is also filled with beautiful moments that bring many indescribable emotions and feelings.…
Satan Knows You
Imagine having the audacity to walk into God’s throne room, stand before Him, and disagree with Him. That’s what Satan did. He walked into the presence of God and told Him He was wrong. God had said that Job was the most righteous, God-fearing man on the whole face of the Earth, but Satan believed…
The Art of Resolve
This past week (or month, actually) has been pretty busy. It has been a combination of meeting deadlines, sorting through boxes of junk, and preparing to move house. Through the craziness and chaos, it has been tempting to look at the heaps of stuff, and long to do list, and become discouraged. It had been…
The Pain of Loss
I’ve often wondered what it must have been like for the Israelites to watch as the full glory of the Lord entered into the tabernacle. This must have been such an awesome moment, when God made His presence among man so tangible and real. I have also wondered what it must have been like when…
The Wonder of the Ages
Imagine you are a soldier fighting in a battle. It has been going on for a while and, looking out over the battlefield, you realise that there is no way this battle will end before nightfall. There are just too many foes left standing. Lifting your sword, you resolve to keep going, regardless of how…
Hear My Heart
Souls Need Songs. Hayden Nesbit If you know me, you know I love music. I find silence very distracting and almost depressing. Music is the first thing I listen to in the morning and it’s the last thing I hear before I go to bed. It adds colour to everything I do, and motivates me…
Lord, I Want to See
The commotion of excited voices and hurried footsteps breaks through the darkness of a blind beggar’s existence. Hearing such a crowd passing by, the man, certain that something significant is occurring, asks the people what was happening. “Jesus is passing through!” is the excited response. Unable to join in with the excited crowd, the blind…
Strong Enough to Fall
In 2007, a man was preparing to begin his long task of cleaning the windows of a very tall building. 144 metres in the air, he stepped onto a narrow cleaning platform. Seconds later, one of the cables slipped out from under the platform and the man began to plummet to the ground, falling a…
I Know Your Face
As a kid, losing your parents in a shop is probably one of the most terrifying moments in your whole life. You start looking around, trying to act calm and in control, while inwardly beginning to panic. As you start running out of aisles to look down, the calm and controlled walk begins to break…
That’s My Crown
After months of hard travel and near death experiences, a small group of travellers had at long last reached their destination. They were dirty, cold and tired. Yet for them, the reward of reaching the end of their journey was totally worth it. For the first time in many years, Thorin Oakenshield finally lays his…
Who Do You Want?
Humanity is notorious for making terrible choices. This reality has plagued us from the moment Eve chose to accept Satan’s lies over God’s counsel. While I am sure we could list many other times when mankind has made foolish choices, one choice stands out as a red stain, like a dirty smudge, on our existence.…
That’s My Dad
Shame is a strange thing. As a child, whenever I had done something I knew was wrong, shame would often engulf me. Confessing my sin and taking responsibility for my actions was always a fearful moment for me. Growing older the realisation that my actions also bring about disappointment or betrayal of trust makes that…
Power Bends Down
On the 30th of May, SpaceX successfully launched 2 men into space. I felt a little emotional as I watched the capsule reach orbit and the camera focus on the view of Earth from space. The emotions continued as the background audio played the applause of the ground team as they cheered over their success.…
A Light For Dark Places
The Lord is my light and my salvation-whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life-of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1 Dirt chocked to the roots of his broken fingernails. His hands; dirty and sore. Home was a lifetime away as was the power to turn back. Greater terrors lay…
Hospital Halls
I am sure that many of you know what it feels like to be in a hospital. Personally, I am not a huge fan of them. While many happy things occur in hospitals, such as the birth of a child, to me hospitals are too cold, too bright, too impersonal. They also have this particular…
The Conviction of a King
The other day I was watching a video of a man who got kicked out of a grocery store for refusing to wear a face mask. According to one shopping attendant, the man refused to wear it since he believed it went against his right to freedom. Regardless of the fact that shoppers were required…
Big Hope for Short People
Being quite a short person myself, I have always felt some sympathy for Zacchaeus. Being short teaches you to ask for help and to figure out solutions to problems that most (tall) people don’t even have. It usually means missing most of what’s happening when big crowds are involved, because as soon as anyone a…
Everybody Needs a Sam
If you have never seen or read the Lord of the Rings, this heading will not make sense to you. I’m hoping you have, but if you haven’t, let me introduce you to Samwise the Brave. At the end of the Return of the King, we see Sam pushing, pulling and finally carrying Frodo up…
True Fear
“Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about them: “See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones to judge everyone, and to convict all of them of all the ungodly acts they have committed in their ungodliness, and of all the defiant words ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”. These people are grumblers and faultfinders;…
When Love Hurts
Picture this: A close friend has just disclosed, to a whole group of people, information which you had shared with them in confidence. To make it worse, they have made it a punchline to their joke. In that split second, while you can still hear the laughter echoing in the room, multiple things begin to…
Look Up
Luke 21:28 is one of my most favourite verses in the Bible. Before this verse, the reader has taken a terrifying journey. He has read of terrors, persecution, famine, plagues, and many other events that strike fear in the heart of man. He has seen pain and death in just a few verses, reading of…
He Has Done It
They will proclaim His righteousness to a people yet unbourne- for He has done it. Psalm 22 Time seems to stand still as a single, agonized cry rips through the silence and the suffocating darkness. The metalic scent blood mixed with sweat hangs in the air. Men and women stand listening in confusion and fear…
When The Earth Shakes
I think we can all admit that it has been a crazy few weeks. Life has been a weird combination of days all blurring into one while still maintaining a somewhat normal routine. Personally, this lock-down has given me a lot of time to think and observe. I’ve watched the world respond to this crisis,…
Isolation Survival Pack
Hi friends! First of all, I would just like to thank you for reading and supporting my blog. I am always encouraged to see how many of you share my blogs and how many countries are represented in the stats. It makes me really happy! Second of all, it is my goal to always write…
Another Blog About Corona
It’s kind of crazy to think of how all of life has changed so drastically in the past few weeks. People have gone from living a normal, every day life of running errands, meeting with friends and going to work, to religiously sanitizing their environment, avoiding public places like the plague and staying home as…
The Slough of Despond
My church is currently going through Pilgrim’s Progress in our discipleship groups. Apart from the Holy War, this is my most favourite book by Bunyan. This week we are covering the first two chapters which show Christian running from his doomed home and running to the shining light. At the start of his journey, he…
Out of the Pigpen
I’ve always loved allegories. I love how these stories are able to communicate truth on a deeper and more profound level. My favourite allegories are the parables that Jesus told. I love how He crafted beautiful stories to communicate His character to humans who struggle to grasp such truth. For me, allegories usually feel more…
