I have had the honour and pleasure of working through and coordinating several Lifecentre training/study initiatives. Every time we have reached the end of something – the ‘elephant in the room’ has always been the same: OK, what now? And that question quickly branches out into a few obvious companion thoughts. How[...]
"Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience." Hebrews 4: 11 ESV. In the Old Testament, the law established a calendar that included a day of rest called the Sabbath, some festivals like Passover, had two days of rest on the first and the last day of the week, which tra[...]
“A highway shall be there, and a road, and it shall be called the Highway of Holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it, but it shall be for others. Whoever walks the road, although a fool, shall not go astray” Isaiah 35:8 Yes, there is a highway. The highway of holiness My children will walk on. This highway, this[...]
"THIS I KNOW, THAT GOD IS FOR ME"…Psalm 56:9(b) It will always amaze me how God will use His Word and others to send a message that will touch our hearts so gently, so intimately. I've encountered many moments like this, but one recently has stirred me so deeply. It began one Sunday in pre-service prayer. Lindsay was pray[...]

For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." (Matthew 11:28-30 NLT) My family went to a Baptist Church until I was about five years old.[...]
Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a reward from him. Psalm 127:3 NLT Beautiful Younger Soul and Mother, As I write this letter, I remember the great pain I felt the day I found out I had to leave my daughter, Laura Vasti, due to far too long and irrelevant circumstances for this letter. I want to tell you, my fellow[...]
As believers in Christ, we are called to be his disciples. That sounds scary and weird for some, but that's because we don't understand the meaning. To be a disciple means you are a follower, a learner, a student. See, Jesus called us to be his students and to learn from Him. But what was He teaching us? John 13:34 "A new com[...]
"A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit." Proverbs 15:4 ESV I often think about how people speak to each other. I like to observe and listen. I've witnessed confident people crumble because someone crushed and broken them with words that fly out of the mouth and off of something as small a[...]
Right now, in the world we live in, some people are quick to share every little aspect of their lives. Social media is filled with posts about what food you just ate, what outfit you are wearing, what funny thing your pet just did, your latest workout, and so much more.
