The Pastor’s Pen

From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture boldly proclaims that  GOD IS HOLY. The Old Testament word “holy” means separation, or apart from. God’s nature separates Him from all His creation. No being is the same as God, or even similar to God. Not even mankind, who God created… in his own image… male and female… are…

From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible makes it abundantly clear, Yahweh wants to be known by mankind. The God who created everything is not hiding in isolation. Yahweh does not live in secret behind closed doors. Actually, the very opposite is true. God has painted His ‘Identification’ across the entire universe for all to see…

Many people have favourite Bible verses, and I am no different. Yet within my favourites there is one verse that I return to repeatedly. This single verse puts the universe in perspective for me. It reminds me of the incalculable difference between mankind and God, that He is nothing like humanity, and that He is…

Rewarding Christian friendships are those permeated with God. While there is great diversity in how these friendships operate, the values should always be Christ centered and reflect our relationship with God. However, we live in an age of compromise where believers are often encouraged to look and sound like the world in hope of being…

Most of us desire quality, pleasurable friendships. Whether with just one person, or with a group, friendship is integral to being created in the image of God.

The apostle John concluded that there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every…

When Christ resurrected and then ascended, the Father seated Him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. And he put all things under his feet…

The Bible rightly gives much attention to Jesus Christ. For although the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ (John 1:17). As the revealer of truth, Jesus does what no one else could, He accurately makes God known to humanity (John 1:18). The exposure of God which comes through Jesus…

As a nation, we celebrate Easter once every year. And at best, it’s an atheistic celebration. But as believers in Jesus Christ, we celebrate Easter every time we partake in communion. It’s our pleasure during Communion, and at Easter time, to proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous…

King David knew better than most about prolonged pains of the heart, and he realised that bodies often heal easier and faster than hearts and minds. While there are occasions when the Lord brings immediate and total recovery, for the most part, the Lord heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds (Psalm 147:3) progressively.…
