Where does feminism come from? From the world or from God? The first pioneers of the movement for equality were not communists, but Christian evangelists and revivalists. John Wesley, Charles Finney and many others.

When missionaries went around the world, they found married couples who were brother and sister. Sometimes these couples were forced to annul their marriage. Sarah was the half-sister of Abraham. Were the missionaries right?

Jesus had no sin to repent of, but his thinking developed and changed at throughout his life, just like ours. Repentance in Greek is METANOIA. It means, "to change your thinking." We need God's Spirit to transform our whole way of thinking.

Do you have a longing for freedom? In the church you find rules and judgements that only discourage you. You are in an unhappy marriage, but they say the wife must be like an obedient slave who must never resist...

God speaks through children in times of crisis. A prominent street preacher in the Welsh revival was a 15 year old girl.

I am sure that even as an infant Jesus had wonderful spontaneous conversations with his Heavenly Father and also with the Holy Spirit. Why should we not expect to enjoy such a relationship with God?

A British officer in World War II ordered his soldiers to recite Psalm 91 daily. In 5 years, no soldier in the regiment died. A German preacher prayed for protection and allied bombers turned away.

So many Christians try to discern spirits, but only on the basis of Bible knowledge. But how can we help a mentally ill person if we don't know what the cause of the illness may be? Natural or demonic?

If we are concerned about sexual sin but do not protest brutal injustice and cruel racism, are we really representing God's character? The blood of Abel still cries out. Are we the keepers of our black brothers?

Many churches have shut outthe Holy Spirit, just like King Saul, but God is looking for outsiders and young peoplelike David who will continue His work with the love and power of the Holy Spirit.

Who has never been misunderstood and hurt by their parents? But imagine a world without parents, without a mother's love. Some fathers (and preachers too) are wonderful, some are very bad. There are also very good pastors...

Jesus healed and healed and healed. Church tradition has robbed us of our faith in healing.

In September 2018, I had a blood test. The GP said my prostate might not be in order. I had to see a urologist. Biopsy, cancer, and then what? God intervenes. But not immediately.

Here are some Bible texts with short comments to help you pray. Start small and never give up. Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Ps 37:4 NIV

Many people strive to be perfect but it is impossible. Paul shows us another way to please God. Weneed to be continually filled with the Holy Spirit and live in loving fellowship with God and other Christians.

God made you unique, one of a kind, different. Don’t consider yourself superior but also not inferior. Don’t copy your heroes. Learn from them but be yourself with God.

The suffering of the sick aroused such compassion in Jesus that his stomach turned....

A child lay on his deathbed in hospital. His mother held his hand, trying to hold back her tears. The boy knew that he would soon be in heaven and that his pain would be over, but he also felt insecure.

How can you recover your peace and clarity of mind when things go wrong at church?

Jesus did not come to burden us with guilt complexes. On the contrary. You can get to know Jesus as your friend and counsellor, whatever your failings. He wants to help you, not condemn you.
