Have mercy upon me, O God!
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. […]
Relax, Rest and Receive
The pure-gospel focuses completely on Jesus and makes Him the hero of mankind. Sadly a lot of Christianity has made the gospel about what man needs to do for God. This audio teaching looks at the pure-gospel in comparison to the mixed-gospel message which has sadly infiltrated the church.
Happy Birthday GraceLife
Today we’re celebrating four years of GraceLife! It was over four years ago that God birthed the vision for GraceLife in my heart, and then one evening seven of us gathered together and that’s where it all started… since then we’ve seen many people receive Christ, be baptised, discover their purpose, encounter God’s unconditional love […]
Going Through a Tough Breakup With Your Church
I am reposting this humorous post I just read on churchleaders.com. Enjoy!

Funny Video: How well do you know your Bible?
This video reminds me that we cannot take it for granted that people know the basics. My wife and I had a group of leaders over a few years back and we ended up playing a game like charades, which revealed that one of the leaders didn’t know who Moses was. Although it was a funny […]
The Importance of Character
Any pastor or leader knows full-well how we can use all the help we can! Because of the great need and often the lack of supply, we can often fall into the trap of taking what we can. This can lead to huge problems. We should never appoint people to leadership or areas of responsibility […]
Guilty or Not Guilty? How God would judge Oscar.
It amazes me how many people have very strong opinions on whether Oscar Pistorius is guilty or not (of murdering his girlfriend on Valentine’s Day last year). I have heard many people quickly pass judgment on Oscar. Funny how these people have not been trained to consider evidence, never mind that they haven’t studied all […]
GENERATIONAL CURSES
This is a post I wrote back in 2010. I would probably say a few things differently today, and I would probably add a whole lot more to it, but it’s still 100% true. I believed in generational curses for years but in 2009 I was challenged on my belief regarding them and studied it […]
Look at the Birds
“Look at the birds in the sky. They never sow nor reap nor store away in barns, and yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you much more valuable to him than they are?” – Words of Jesus (Matthew 6:26, JB PHILLIPS) I am really encouraged by these words of Jesus. Too often we don’t think about what […]
