The conference in Porto, Portugal, last weekend was a timely word, a recalibration, a wonderful precious reminder. Reminder of what? In short of this: We have a speaking God; and we cannot but speak what we have seen and heard. Did you know? God is so real, but God Himself dwells in unapproachable light. He […]

the Lord Jesus was never discouraged – He took His satisfaction only in God and His will!
Why do we get discouraged and disappointed? The main reason we are disappointed or discouraged is because we have expectations from the people around us, from our environment, from situations and things. Expectations – this is what drives us to discouragement. We have expectations from our parents, our family, our teachers, our children, our spouse, […]

degradation comes in when we lose our first love for the Lord, when we have an idol
When we were saved, when we believed into the Lord for the first time, we had eyes for the Lord Jesus only, and we didn’t see anything or anyone else but Him. Actually, when we were saved we entered into a love relationship with the Lord, into a life-union with Him, where we love Him […]

receiving a fresh vision of the church meetings and the church life in a very practical way
I was recently impressed in a fresh way regarding the meetings of the church. How can you say that you are in the church? Practically, one believer is in the church if he meets with the saints – if he is in the church meetings! You can’t truthfully say, Hallelujah, I’m part of the church! […]

To live in the new creation, we have to turn from the things seen to the things not seen
In order for us to live in the new creation, we have to turn from the things seen to the things not seen. The 3 verses at the end of chapter 4 in the second epistle Paul wrote to the Corinthians are very striking, for they unveil how we, the believers in Christ who have […]
