My first premise is that God has absolute sovereignty in His universe. That means that the Devil is a part of the larger plan of God. How we perceive our enemy will largely determine how we fight against him. Only if we have a proper theology of God we[…]

Introduction:  The cry of Jesus, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Mark 15:34) has puzzled many. As it is impossible for members of the Trinity to ever be separated, God can never be anything less or different that He is and always was and always will[…]

Let’s begin with an analogy. When you walk into a dark room, what comes first, the appearance of light or turning on the light switch? As we perceive things, they seem to happen simultaneously. However, does one cause and logically precede the other? Absolutely. We all know that turning[…]

In my worsteling met sonde en die geveg van geloof, wens ek soms dat die strewe na heiligheid gepaard gaan met ʼn eenvoudige vergelyking. (X minute Bybellees) + (Y minute van gebed) x (Z dae per week) = heiligheid Indien ons nog meer heilig wou wees, sou ons deelname[…]

The self-characterization of God in Ex 3:14 is particularly meaningful. In ancient times a person’s name was not simply a designation or label. It did more than simply differentiate one person from another. It was more than a way of identifying people. In ancient times a person didn’t merely[…]

Romans 12:1–2 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by[…]
