What does it mean to be righteous? One definition includes the words “justified” and “morally right.” Some synonyms for righteous/ness are; good, upright and virtuous. One day somebody tweeted “many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivers him out of them all”. I’ve heard and read thisContinue Reading

Matthew 23 vs 13 – 30 When I saw ‘the seven woes’ as the chapter title I was not expecting to read what I read. This perhaps stemmed from my only superficial knowledge of what ‘woe’ means and perhaps the fact that I was not really thinking as I readContinue Reading

”Tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom ahead of you” – Matthew 21 vs 31 When I first read this verse I said ‘my goodness!’ I felt something unsettle in my heart. Could this be me? Let me set the scene: Jesus has made His triumphant entry into Jerusalem,Continue Reading

Psalm 119 vs 92 If your law had not been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction. How beautiful right? This truly resonates with me because if it were not for God and His word, the troubles of life would most certainly have swept me away. His wordContinue Reading

…Said nobody that understands the true and infallible nature of the God that inspired the bible! A lack of understanding leads non-believers and believers alike, astray. Understanding God’s nature, understanding the gift of grace, reading the word in spirit will allow eyes to be open to the fact that God,Continue Reading

There are times when the spirit of praise and even worship just randomly come over me, maybe because I’m listening to a particular song or sermon, sometimes I’m not even doing anything and before I know it I’m belting out songs and calling all the names for God that IContinue Reading

So there has been a MASSIVE break between week 2 and 3, simply because I allowed life to dictate my consistency. So as the title suggests I am just gonna share my testimony of praise and a bit of worship in these difficult few weeks I’ve been having. Whenever IContinue Reading
