    Luke 24: 36b-48 The Man Is Out A man was released from prison recently after serving his term. After many years in jail he still maintains his innocence.

    Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Dec 12, 2014
     | 5,707 views

    A perspective on Easter. When one is spiritually exhausted and even physically exhausted from wrestling with God in prayer, then there is only one way to go. That is, to surrender to the will of God and say, “Not my will, but your will be done”.

     | 5,125 views

    A perspective on Mark 8: 31-38. St. Mark points out in his Gospel that there is another way to glory and that is the way of Christ. Therefore, what does the ‘way of Christ’ mean, and what does being a disciple mean ?

    Mark 8: 31-38 The Road To Victory Nobody enjoys the pain of losing. We long for glory and the freedom from being a plain person living a plain life.

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,120 views

    A perspective on Mark 7: 1-23. When a trivial matter becomes a big issue more than likely we are following the ‘traditions of men’. Our focus therefore is on the wrong thing because we have forgotten God and do not have God’s love in our hearts.

In which Jesus and his disciples have crossed Lake Galilee to the land at Gennesaret on the north-western bank of the lake. Gennesaret was a small, but a very fertile plain rich ...read more
