One of the striking themes in the Book of Acts, is the unity of the church and the subsequent impact they have on their society. In the book of Acts, we see how: The believers meet together regularly “So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they … More Strength of Three Strands P3: Fellowship and God’s Kingdom
The friendships I have appreciated most are those that have built character in me. These are friendships that have taught me patience, self-control, gentleness, humility and love. Furthermore, I treasure fellowship with those who have intentionally sought to build God-like character in me. These are God-fearing friends who have walked with me, encouraged me, and … More Strength of Three Strands P2: Fellowship and Character
Earlier this month, my husband and I went to the Royal Adelaide Show. Apart from our amusing “ad-lib” attempt at news-reading, or rather, advertising hats, we explored a variety of stalls and displays. One little booth showcased basketry. The lady at the display showed me various natural fibres – plants that had died and dried. … More Strength of Three Strands P1: Fellowship and Intimacy
In Revelation, we are given a picture of the church as a lampstand. The church radiates the light of God, and the fire of the Holy Spirit. Jesus is the light of the world, His light gives life to men, and we shine the light of His life on earth. Revelation also describes how, when the Lord … More Image of the Church P4: The Shining Lamp

So many people in the Bible had incredible encounters with God at night – Daniel received many visions, and Samuel said, “Here I … More Nightwatch

Despite what everyone had been telling us about nearby walking trails and giant mansions, my husband and I had never really explored the part further down our suburb (and we’ve been in our home for over a year…) Seeing as … More Image of the Church P2: Built to Stand
Recently, my family and I visited Sydney. While we were there, I had one of those moments where I thought, “Wow, this is who the church is.” Over the years, my perception of the church has changed – sculpted by experiences, seasons, people and ultimately, by the word and the Spirit of God. There is … More Image of the Church P1: Moving the Body
The lens passed over word and type, A wave of big and small. Excited now, the smallest fought, To gain perspective tall. The “T”s on tiptoe, “J”s down low, The “W”s spread their arms. And in the corner, just a speck – Fullstop. Raised its alarm. The voice arrested, took a pause, Through torrents of … More Magnifying Glass
The room was dark, yet familiar, and a heavy smell of loneliness soaked its marbled floor. In the corner, a young woman contemplated her adversary. Darkness – but where was light? Her mind was locked in a hazy maze of “where” and “why”. Curiosity left unfulfilled by too many answers. Identity, confused by too many … More Adalia
