Proverbs 19:21

HOW WE THINK REALLY MATTERS!

(October 08, 2024) Angeline Selvakumari encourages knowing what God thinks of us and how we should think about ourselves…

Benjamin Franklin, regarded as a founding father of the United States, once stated, ‘If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail.’ Profoundly impactful words! Planning is a crucial aspect of our lives.

  • Some individuals excel at both planning and execution.
  • Others may plan but struggle to implement their strategies.
  • Sadly there’s another group that doesn’t plan at all, just chooses to go with the flow.

I wonder, dear reader, which category do you belong to?

Reality
The Bible reminds us that ‘Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails’(Proverbs 19:21); Proverbs 16:9 states: ‘In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.’

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

(September 25, 2023) Mama Lava shares a devasting experience… and adds a warning about casual flippancy.

No doubt you’ve heard people casually saying, ‘God knows what is coming. So what could possibly go wrong?’ Said it yourself?

Famous last words, right? Oh, how I’m learning not to flippantly act like I am in control of anything!

Personal example…
I had hastily volunteered to babysit my grandkids, a day’s drive from my house, while my husband Michael and the girls went to a 2-day concert the weekend.

What could possibly go wrong, right?

THE BIBLE ISN’T BANNED READING

(October 22, 2021) Maureen McQuillan encourages a concerned person…

Pastor Maureen… I’m hearing from America, England and even here that there’s a rapidly growing conspiracy to demean, indeed block Christianity, cancel church and other Christianity charities, that Christian schools will be forced to accept non-Christian teachers, and such. I’m particularly concerned to hear that any Christian who seeks to help someone find Jesus as Saviour by sharing the gospel with them and pointing out that we’re all sinners and need to repent could be taken to court, fined and even imprisoned… if the person doesn’t like what they hear. Does this mean that we will be banned from sharing about God, Jesus and the things we hold dear? Marie (Not real name).

Gosh, ‘Marie’… whoa, wait a minute, hold it there. Sounds like you’re panicking! Yes, all that you mention sounds very concerning but we mustn’t be afraid… or deceived by any satanic ploy. Australian Christian Lobby (natoffice@acl.org.au) in particular and praying Christians/churches aware of such subversive ‘conspiracies’ are endeavouring to counter such matters (as are others speaking out in America and elsewhere).
