Entitlement Theology
casting all your anxiety upon Him, because He cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7 NASB Cares – As America approaches a Presidential election, it might be worthwhile to reflect on the stark differences exhibited between the factions in today’s American culture.

Irene lives in Africa
Meet Irene. Irene is a 14-year-old, beautiful, blond-haired, white Afrikaner who lives with her family in a squatter-camp because in South Africa the government policies prevent her parents from working and consign her family to legalized abuse.

What Is Enough?
You have not lied to men but to God Acts 5:4 NASB Lied – This word comes from the Greek word pseudomai. You will see our English word pseudo in this verb. It means “what is false.” Peter confronts Ananias. It is not a confrontation about the sale of the property. It is not about…
Through-put
fervently love one another from the heart 1 Peter 1:22 NASB Fervently – This Greek word is ektenos. This translation is correct. It means “intently, earnestly.” But that only tells us part of the story. The root word here is teino (to stretch). Did you see the little added prefix ek at the beginning of…
Leaving South Africa Again
As I sit at the Johannesburg airport awaiting the flight to London, I reflect on the last 15 days here in South Africa. Because of YOU I was able to teach more than 600 people about the Genesis account of being human; what it means to be in God’s image. The response was dramatic. Many,…
