The post-flood world God’s covenant with Noah (Genesis 9) was, as it were, with a restored humanity. Something like an Adam & Eve 2.0, but this time with a whole family. The language of fruitfulness and multiplication shows this (v. 1), as well as the extension of human diet to include meat and other animal … Continue reading Noah and the new creation
Photo by Edward Cisneros on Unsplash We cannot answer this question without first asking who God is. And according to scripture, God is the being who created all things and on whom all things depend (Genesis 1:1; Acts 17:24-28). Jesus is the Son of God who came into the world to redeem it.

But rather than being a sour belief which hampers faith, it is a scriptural teaching which drives us to cling to the sovereign grace of God. It is an evangelical doctrine which ignites hope … Continue reading What Total Depravity implies

Between 1900 and 2010 (about a hundred years), the number of Christians in Africa grew from 7.5 million to 504 million. This is a rise from 9.1% to 48.8% of the population!* While praising God for the massive growth, I am mindful of the intense need for discipleship. This is an area which has not … Continue reading A Prayer for Africa
A sermon in a song I love country music. And one of my all-time favourite singers is Dolly Parton. Her 1980 hit, 9 to 5, was quite popular while growing up.
