Merry Christmas!

A very happy and blessed Christmas from us both, to our friends around the world ... including the one or two who still read this blog!

He is Risen

From our home to you, wherever you are living or reading this - a very blessed Easter Day today. It is common for Christians to greet each other today with "He is risen", responded to with "He is risen indeed" - simply because we believe that on the third day after Jesus was crucified, he rose from the dead.

This is what actually separates Christian belief and faith from all other religious systems. For me, this Easter day, "He is risen" finds me thinking about what this means for me - a believer for certain - yet very human - making sense and finding application for what a risen Jesus means for me, for the way I can know God, have relationship with Him, and demonstrate this all to people my life is blessed to touch and be touched by.

For you - We wish you much love, and a prayer that the risen Jesus will be as real and apparent in your life as he is in ours.

Prayer Walking No Longer Just a Fad

Prayer walking - something I once thought quite 'faddish' and a passing phase, but recently our church has been active in prayer walking, and we've begun to understand the value of simply walking around the suburbs which surround the church, and praying for the people who live in the houses and apartments. It has opened doors (sometimes literally) and allowed us to encourage people, but also gain deeper appreciation for the importance of the church being genuinely connected to the people we live amongst to serve for Christ.

The article in this link I found whilst looking for help on how to do prayer walking. It has some good ideas and advice.

Looking for Jesus?

Our article GOT JESUS? is a great place to start, if you are looking for concise and clear information about Jesus Christ and why you should seriously consider him to be who he said he is.
