Are you the first to offer sincere congratulations? Do you intend to thank God for what has happened?

We need an army of pragmatic Marthas, ready to serve and love their neighbour because they have first been an army of devoted Marys.

Do you realise that God has not promised to get us out of every difficult situation, but that He has promised to always be with us?

In Estonia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Latvia and Finland, just 10% or fewer adults say religion is a priority for them.

God's involvement with man does not depend primarily on man's personality or character, but on his love for them.

God does not expect you to go through life chasing miracles and wonders. He will do them for you in the simplicity of each day.

By casting the sorrows that tempt us toward overwork or other escape mechanisms to Christ, we become serene and rich in spirit.

What is the giant that is mocking you at the moment? Who is the 'Goliath' who makes you take a step backwards?

A bitter person has never helped to change the world. Dreams do not belong only to winners.

God is the Lord of history, both of the universe and of the personal history of each one of us.

Satisfaction of desires is the wrong door to knock on if we expect happiness to be waiting on the other side.

Undergoing spiritual training in our devotion to God means letting our character be moulded to Christ’s image.

How many times have we tried to fill our emptiness by trying to fulfil a “ghost mission”?

Never forget that God created happiness and He wants us to live with a joy inside that no one can take from us.

We are fully capable of arranging and messing up our world in a few seconds rather than handing things over to the Lord.

Are we living out the teachings of Jesus in a way that reflects love and compassion? Are we willing to challenge the status quo and make necessary changes before it is too late?

I thank God for the many men and women whom He uses to provoke us to live a thoughtful, faithful, and obedient life.

Jesus calls us to live a radically new life as His followers. We are called to be with Him, enjoy time together, learn from Him, and be transformed from inside to out. 

Paul learnt to work for the glory of others. Have we learnt this?

The reason that we should take Jesus’ demand so seriously is because His mission cost Him everything.

The online class on 9 March will look at how Christians “can shepherd themselves and others from a place of burden to the experience of blessing”.

Everything we have gone through helps us comfort and encourage others who are in the same situation.

God promises us abundant life. Nothing in our world can teach us the secret of happiness.

Our earthly life means very little in comparison with “the great beyond ”, which is real, in spite of our present suffering and lack of understanding.

Holiness is one of God's attributes, and as His children, His holiness should be reflected in our lives.
