Stretch Your Mind admin Thu, 08/20/2026 - 12:00am The secret of staying young is within you. It has nothing to do with where you live, how much money you make, who you're married to, or how your kids turn out. It has everything to do with your attitude.

Singing Praises admin Wed, 08/19/2026 - 12:00am Proverbs 27:2 says “Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; A stranger, and not your own lips.” You do good work and others will find you. They will sing your praises.

Colour-Blind admin Wed, 07/29/2026 - 12:00am Prejudice is a learned trait, but it can be unlearned. It takes a renewed mind to remove the blinders of prejudice and see people for who they are...instead of what they look like.

The Spark of Protest admin Wed, 07/22/2026 - 12:00am We take for granted the freedom of reading the Bible in our own language. The Bible came to us at great cost. Men and women sacrificed their lives so God's Word could be in the hands of the common people.

1 John 5:11Although it may feel like it, death is not an escape—it leads you into eternity. Ending your life is not your decision to make, it's God's. He is both the Giver and Taker of life.

Proverbs 14:27Death is inevitable, and once you're in its grip there is no escape. The good news is those in Christ don't need to fear death because it ushers us into the presence of God.

Acts 2:32-33When Jesus Christ arrived back in heaven, having finished His work on the cross, He was seated next to the Father. But He isn't just sitting. The Lord is actively directing the affairs of this planet, and He is in complete control.

Proverbs 18:21Proverbs 18:21 says, “The tongue has the power of life and death.” Words of encouragement can make a life-changing difference to someone in their time of need. Now that's a sobering thought.

1 Kings 19:10-12There are days it's wise for us to stop and look and listen. When you do everything, life seems to shut down for a period of time. It's almost as if the Lord is saying, “Now that you've stopped, I want you to look, and I want you to listen.”

Jeremiah 20:9We live in a time where Christian values are blurred and weakened. But God's Word is truth and it's unchanging. When we choose to ignore it we become lost, confused, and without hope.

Psalms 8:9We live in a day marked by shallow concepts of God. We've lost our sense of reverence...God has become our “pal,” our understanding buddy. But God is holy. He's our Creator. He is our sovereign and glorious Lord, worthy of all our praise and worship.

Hebrews 11:39-40Nothing you do for the Lord is ever wasted. It's never in vain. Even if you receive no credit or even a “thank you” don't be discouraged! God promises you will be rewarded when the time is right.

Romans 5:8The cross is where we gain our spiritual freedom. But we don't honour the cross...we honour the One who hung on it. Christ is the object of our adoration.

Micah 6:13You can't play games with sin. Left unchecked it can ruin your whole life. It moves in and eats away at our moral fabric. And the longer it stays... the harder it is to get rid of it.

Revelation 5:11-13According to the dictionary the word “glory” is a synonym for splendour or magnificence. So how do we give God glory?

Acts 2:17-20Never think that because something is invisible it is therefore unimportant or weak. Just think of gravity—where would we be without it? The Holy Spirit is the same. He energizes, motivates, comforts, and gives discernment. The Holy Spirit is our spiritual fuel.

Isaiah 64:8Something everyone agrees on is the key in life is change. And it's not optional. Think about the last 10 years—you're not the same person, are you? In fact, your life today compared to then probably doesn't even resemble each other. That's because of change.
