Matthew 22:14-16 Yesterday, a profound but simple message challenged my way of thinking beyond any other. Since Sunday school the message of “putting God first in your life” had been the cornerstone for the Christian faith, and that is true. However, we can put it in another perspective. In a life filled with desires, passions and goals, prioritising our heart's true desires is almost a fall-short. |

1 Samuel 19-20 Friends are a rare commodity these days. We live in a young-modern society that thrives of networking and connectivity – the product of which is Youtube, MySpace and Facebook. I'm a big fan myself. On my Facebook account I've officially clocked up more than 350 friends! Still, the word 'friend' seems to have slightly different connotations to it in this context. |

Exodus 32 The reality and severity of idolatry is enormous, yet in our modern society, myself as a Christian, seem to think that idolatry is only relative to those still stuck in the past; with their ancestral worship and their “temple-bowing”.

Psalm 51 Consequences. Surrounding us are TV ads telling us to live without regret, there are famous stars parading in front of us the life of guilt-free passions. The music ringing through the earphones of our mp3 players are screaming for a life of broken rules and sin-filled fun. So, as the continuous ring of the world presents itself to us, we still ignore the effects of consequences. At the time, we refuse to think about it and when it comes to a consequence, we ignore it or pass it off as coincidence. I wonder if things were different if we had a heart like that of David's. |

Psalm 119:17-24 The fact is, I used to love studying, reading and discovering the many messages of God through His Word. I used to. When Paul cried out to the church of Ephesus, God labelled them as the people who had lost their first love. If there was a church that could describe my life, it would be that of Ephesus. Outwardly, I act in righteousness, I do all I need to do as a Christian. I am a leader, I serve faithfully, I attend the meetings, the prayer meetings, I lead worship, but yet, I find myself wanting. |
