The Pastor’s Pen

I encourage you to entrust your life to the God of security. While this world may entrust itself to politics, wealth, an improved environment, and pleasure; it finds no security that can endure the grave, let alone the struggles of daily life. Sadly, worldly efforts to accumulate stuff that is meant to bring lasting and…

I encourage you to evaluate who and what you trust in Trust is one of those peculiar things which can be quite illusive for all soughts of reasons. We all value people who are trustworthy. Even those who don’t consider themselves trustworthy, look for people they can trust. Most of us go through periods feeling…

Be encouraged to excel in building up the Church Jesus, speaking in Matthew 16:18 of building as the architect of the Church stated; “I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it”. The Lord of Lords informed that His full measure of divinity is committed to the unstoppable project…

I encourage you to rejoice in our common blessings in Christ The Church is God’s place of common blessing for the redeemed in Christ. While there is great diversity within the church, there is even greater commonality in Christ. The testimony of the early church was that “all who believed were together and had all…

I encourage you to live for one another and watch God at work Christian living fleshes out this fact; “we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another” (Romans 12:5). We belong to each other as much as we belong to Christ. At rebirth we became as spiritually intertwined with…

I encourage you to grow together in Christ and for Christ As God’s children we recognise that we are made “alive together with Christ” (Ephesians 2:5). Christians have been “called to be saints together with all those who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 1:2). This was…

I encourage you; aim to be complete in your faith It’s faith in God that aims at the goal of being complete in our relationship with Jesus Christ and others. James, Jesus younger half-brother, recognised the believer’s need to persevere in working toward spiritual completeness. This Christian maturity is to impact every sphere of life,…

I encourage you to embrace obedience which involves sacrifice Modern attitudes lead people to believe that pleasures are a right, without having to sacrifice in order to have them. But not so with the children of God. The believer’s highest pleasures are found in Christ, with our many earthly pleasures falling secondary under His supremacy.…

I encourage you to obey God as worship of God Desires often war within us against the idea of walking with the Lord in obedience. This is because sin works at every level, in the most seductive of ways to lure us away from faithfulness to Christ. The Lord taught Samuel; “to obey is better…

I encourage you to obey for God’s Glory First and Foremost. To obey Jesus Christ as Lord is central to the Christian faith! Speaking of obedience may not win you popularity, but it is never-the-less central to our entire social structure. Not only humanly speaking, but it is the bullseye of Christian living.  God’s glory,…
