28 October 2025 What Are You Wearing? by Annalene Holtzhausen The wearing of garments is often mentioned in the Bible. Many of these references point to an actual article of clothing, for example Joseph’s robe of many colours (Genesis 37:3), the wearing of sackcloth by Ahab (1 Kings 21:27) or the priestly garments referred to in Exodus 28. But the spiritual and...
27 October 2025 Just As He Had Done Before by John Sainsbury Daniel was an extremely high-ranking official in the empire of the Medes and Persians. But he was an outsider and his fellow officials wanted to get rid of him (Daniel 6:4). However, he was so scrupulous in all his work that they could find no fault in him. The only way to remove Daniel, they conspired,...
26 October 2025 Whatever You Do by Tanya Person We do so many different things in any particular day. Many things we do routinely, like washing dishes, cleaning, brushing our teeth, checking the mail, or shopping. They don’t seem very important, yet they must be done. Reading today’s scripture, I was pondering how to really apply this in my life....
25 October 2025 What’s in your hand? by Patricia Lake Recently, looking again at the lives of some of our favourite well known characters in the bible, I was reminded of the fact that in their generation they were as ordinary as we are. What was it that made them great? It was the fact that they chose to trust God and obey His word against the odds. They...
24 October 2025 Screeching Sounds by Peter Brokaar There was a lot of unusual noise in our house recently. And I don’t mean just the raucous sounds produced by the three teenagers that inhabit our domain! These particular screeching sounds were the result of maintenance issues I had failed to give attention to. The first was our front door. Whenever...
23 October 2025 The Shortest Verse in the Bible by Matt Moore Perhaps, like me, you were taught that the shortest verse in the Bible is John 11:35, which says, `Jesus wept`. That may be true in our English Bible, but in the original Greek, the shortest verse is our text today. John 11:35 is three words and 16 letters while I Thessalonians 5:16 is two seven-letter...
22 October 2025 Throw Off That Cloak! by Dean Gardner I have always loved the story of Bartimaeus’ encounter with Jesus. At my wedding service, I shared it with the guests, as I described how I had spent most of my twenties in the sad condition of a prodigal far away from God. By the time I was thirty-one I was much like Bartimaeus – sitting by the...
21 October 2025 Waymarks by Richard Griffiths I think that most of us aren’t that fond of regulations. Life is so full of what we call ‘red tape’. Laws seem so restrictive. And, if we’re honest, we can begin to feel the same about God’s laws, so clearly set out in the Scriptures. We live in a world that has, by and large, abandoned godly...
20 October 2025 Connected by Gemma Gardner The Lord often speaks to me through the ordinary, everyday things I experience in my life. This time it happened when we were away on holiday. I had a birthday, and my sister-in-law gave me a gift voucher. I decided to use it to buy some wireless headphones that I could use with my phone and other devices...
19 October 2025 The Here and Now by Annalene Holtzhausen One can only admire Peter’s bold faith when he jumped out of that boat and trusted Jesus for a miracle. Peter had seen enough to believe that for God all things are possible. And Peter actually walked on the water! But then he looked down. This account of Peter became more real in my own life when...
