No one desires depression, anxiety or low self-esteem, yet we sometimes arrive there. I had an arsenal of weapons to combat all unwelcome thoughts or feelings. I'd talk to my loving and encouraging husband. I ran to improve my health and fitness. I got the jobs I wanted, in the industry I wanted. I tasted great food and wine. I travelled. I blew...
“Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.” - 1 Peter 8-9 Imagine that you lived in a tiny town in the middle of America that was nowhere near...
There's something about certain music that completely captivates our souls. Christian worship is our soul delighting in Jesus and expressing praise to him for the true things the Scriptures teach us about who He is and what he has accomplished for us. I've added a few of my recent favourites below! "Once you see this - that the work of the heart (the...

I have some friends and family who don't understand why I was recently water baptised. I'll try my best to explain the difference between Salvation and Baptism and why I was very happily submerged in the "clean" part of the Liffey river. Salvation "...if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from...
My husband and I recently had a month long visit to America. We spent the first 2 weeks road tripping down the California coast and Grand Canyon and another 2 visiting our family in New Jersey. While the trip was incredibly blessed, the only downside was that I ceased spending quality time with God and mostly rushed through my devotionals. God wants us...
“For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, in which he went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison,” - 1 Peter 3:18-19 I thought I was saved at age eight while attending a Children's Christian day camp in...
The book of Proverbs taught me so much about God's perfect wisdom and how He calls us to be. My version of "wisdom" had really let me down over the years. It wasn't nice to realise that the majority of my hardships resulted from my own foolish and prideful behaviour. Two verses in particular stuck in my head: "Trust in the Lord with all...
"In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." - 2 Corinthians 4:4 John Piper is the well known Christian founder and teacher of desiringGod.org. While listening to a series of his sermons a few months ago he challenged...
Steve Turner the English journalist wrote the following satirical poem where he comments on our contemporary experience in Western culture. "Creed" We believe in Marxfreudanddarwin We believe everything is OK as long as you don’t hurt anyone to the best of your definition of hurt, and to the best of your knowledge. We believe in sex before, during, and after marriage. We believe...
“Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith...
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame,...
"John answered them all, saying, “I baptize you with water, but he who is mightier than I is coming, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire." - Luke 3:16 "When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a...
Why do born-again Christians always share their faith with unbelievers? Why don’t they keep their faith private and personal? The answer is simple. Jesus Christ said He is the only way to God and when we’re saved by Him the purpose of our lives is to take up our own crosses and follow Him. We’re called to live for others instead of selfishly...
"And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?” Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all...
