PEACE WE CRAVE IS FOUND IN THE WISDOM OF PROVERBS

(October 10, 2025) Mama Lava shares from her heart regarding Proverbs…

Finally! Saturday arrived and I sat at Starbucks with a drink I’d been craving. I settled in and opened the Bible app on my phone. It was October 1, and I headed to Proverbs 1.

It has been a long-time habit to read a Proverb a day. Proverbs has 31 chapters, which makes it the perfect length. And because it is a book of incredible wisdom, I can’t imagine ever reading it enough times to master or tire of it.

Finding Perspective
I typically read from my NIV Bible… but my Bible app opened in the NLT, which is very similar, but just different enough to intrigue me. The familiar verses pulled me in with slightly different wording and made me think about them with fresh perspective.

LOVED WITH EVERLASTING LOVE!

(October 09, 2025) Norman and Margaret Moss share another encouraging meditation…

Margaret and I grew up with rationing. Ration books were first issued in 1940 in the UK and continued till 1954. So in our teenage years everything was in short supply and strictly rationed.

The ration did not mean you had plenty. It was the bare minimum!

WE NEED THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

(October 06, 2025) Carol Round encourages us to share our testimony when led by the Holy Spirit’s power…

Acts 1:8GNT tells us that ‘… when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will be filled with power, and you will be witnesses for me in Jerusalem, in all of Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.’

I never thought I’d be sharing the gospel message in Wal-Mart! The timing was right, but I couldn’t do it in my own power.

DOES OUR DEFINITION OF ‘GOOD’ MATCH GOD’S?

(September 29, 2025) Mama Lava challenges us regarding our true worship of God.

Worship has several aspects such as singing, praising, thanking, pursuing, and honouring. But here I want to discuss worship through service and good deeds. We all do ‘good deeds’ daily…. we serve someone, something, or many people and things— the ‘good’ we pursue.

And I want to ask a question, dear readers, dear friends— is our definition of ‘good’ aligned with God’s?

Preceptive of Our Definition of Good Deeds
In this connection I’ve been asking myself the following five questions, and now I ask you:

BE COURAGEOUS— EVEN IN DANGEROUS TIMES!

(September 19, 2025) Angeline Selvakumari shares some great truths…

Blessed greetings to you, dear readers, in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, who alone has the power to do extraordinary and supernatural things.

A few days ago, I was reading Daniel 3. Though I have read this passage many times before, this time it brought deep comfort and reassurance. I felt led to share a few reflections with you…

1) Strength in the Midst of Danger!
This chapter begins with a dramatic and intense scene. Three young Hebrews— Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego— are commanded by King Nebuchadnezzar to bow down and worship a golden image he had set up. When they refuse to do so, they are thrown by some of his strongest soldiers into a blazing furnace seven times hotter than usual (v19-20).

DO YOU REMEMBER GOD’S DEEDS?

(September 18, 2025) Carol Round remembers and reflects on God’s goodness…

If you’re like most people, you probably don’t want to dwell on past mistakes and sins. But sometimes it’s difficult to purge those thoughts from our memories, especially if our past is filled with pain and regret.

However, there is one thing we can do to let go of the negativity and embrace the goodness of God. We can reflect on God’s past actions in our lives to strengthen our faith and provide encouragement. Scripture emphasises the significance of remembering God’s deeds and His faithfulness.

LOVED WITH EVERLASTING LOVE!

(September 13, 2025) Norman and Margaret Moss share another precious and very timely meditation…

Wolverines have an incredible sense of smell, but poor eyesight. I heard somewhere that they can actually bypass their prey because they don’t see it, but will eventually track it down by following what their noses tell them.

Being Followed…
It is not always a comforting thought that we are being followed. These days we read of people who committed a crime years ago being tracked down by DNA. Their sins have caught up with them.

I find as I grow older that the memory of failures and mistakes made long ago catch up with me and cause an inward groan.

HAVE YOU DISCOVERED GOD’S HOLY BOOK?

(August 17, 2025) Norman and Margaret Moss share another precious and very timely meditation…

I had a friend who collected books by Richmal Crompton. He was especially keen to find first editions.  Sometimes it tested my patience while I waited for him to rummage through musty piles of books in second-hand bookshops.

It is one thing to love a book because of its contents, but many of us love the smell of a book, the feel of a book, as well as delighting in the pleasure of reading it. Most of us find that somehow books accumulate and yet to part from any one of  them is like losing a friend.

THE COMPANY WE CHOOSE TO BE AND KEEP

(July 28, 2025) Mama Lava challenges us as she shares from her heart about a very important Christian principle…

The crisis was unimaginable. I couldn’t fathom what she was going through. The desperation I felt for a friend on her behalf couldn’t have come close to what she must have been feeling.

I was a step removed from the situation, but the gut punch I felt knocked me off my feet.
