(March 17, 2025) Pastor George Caleb Oguta shares a great testimony…
Born in Kenya I was raised by what became a Christian family. My parents, Caleb and Grace, are now in heaven… but it wasn’t always a happy family. I grew up in a disorganised and sinful family despite the fact that my parents were strong Catholic. We just didn’t know God!
But they came to knowing Him— and I too was to discover and know Jesus as my Saviour and Lord… and enjoy Christianity and a great church life.

(July 19, 2022) Robert McQuillan challenges…
Psychologist Dr Andre Tessier, counselling a friend who is wondering about himself, who he really is, his future, answers honestly… ‘I’m only a doctor. I can’t tell something I don’t know… but let me show you something. See those books over there?’
Tapping several books in the packed bookshelves, he names Carl Jung and other well-known thinkers commenting, ‘Hundreds of books! Sum total of man’s knowledge of his fellowman. Yet in a moment like this, they fail. That’s why when I’m faced with such a moment, I always turn to this book, older than all the others by thousands of years.’
Taking a black jacketed book, he searches through it. ‘Ah, here we are,’ he smiles, ‘Proverbs, twenty-third chapter, seventh verse, “As he thinketh in his heart, so is he.”’
Leaving it with the troubled man to consider the reality of Solomon’s words, Dr Tessier encourages him tobelieve deeply in his heart, his soul, emphasising… ‘And that’s all that matters.’
Believing in one’s very soul
‘Heart’ is an interesting word found throughout that ‘ancient book’, speaking of various hearts troubled by grief, deceit, discouragement, hatred, hardening (that’s the short list!).
