The Uniqueness of a Biblical Marriage
God's plan for marriage has never changed. It is the same as the relationship Adam and Eve had with each other and, most importantly, with God before the fall. The great Apostle Paul called for mutuality in marriage of the highest standard on the part of both spouses. I encourage you to read to the end; you won't be disappointed.
My Answers to Questions About God!
Supplies answers to the questions I have been asked and the questions asked throughout the generations. How did the dinosaurs fit on the Ark? Should I attend a church? Where did Jesus go when He died? What about the Second coming of Jesus? Are war and killing justified? What is the purpose of my existence? Are miracles possible? Why do bad things happen to good people? Why does God allow suffering and evil? These questions are among the most popular questions in every age. Unfortunately, there are no easy answers. However, I aim to bring the interested reader's understanding to a light bulb moment through my down-to-earth and straightforward solutions.”
Knowing God is Essential to Understanding Who You Are in Him.
Knowing God is Essential to Understanding Who You Are in Him
This article is about understanding and remembering the truth of who you are in God. And thereby overcome every challenging circumstance. However, knowing who you are in God depends on knowing who God is and what He has done, being found in Him, and knowing the power of His resurrection. Your life is always about God in you. God is still faithful! God will never write you off or put you in the too-hard basket or on the shelf. The great Apostle Peter denied Jesus three times and was absent at the crucifixion. Yet Jesus did not banish him to the naughty corner until his behaviour improved; instead, Peter was commissioned by Jesus to serve God's people.
Why Should I Forgive?
Offence in the church will always be an issue, so we need to know how to recover and why we should forgive. It is too easy to say, well, Jesus said we have to "forgive our brother and sister up to seventy times seven" (Matt 18:21). Then we say, "Ok, then I forgive them!" But the hurt is still there, and bitterness takes root in our hearts. We can even say, 'I forgive' 490 times, but nothing changes. Colleen McLean gives many reasons why you can sincerely forgive and experience the healing Hand of God upon your life. God's dealings with us are always perfectly kind and gentle, and He has our best interests at heart. Trust Him as you read, and allow Him to love you better.

Fast Foundations
From Genesis to Jesus
Welcome to the result of an enduring study of God's love and purpose for His people. It is not enough for us to know Bible stories and memorize verses. We cannot lift verses out and ignore the overall plan of God. That is why this small publication can open your understanding to the intents and purposes of God that have unfolded throughout the Old and New Testaments.
This is for the mature Christian, the new Christian, the bible Student, and the curious ones looking for answers. But, above all, this publication aims to expose God's overall plan for everyone in a way that is easy to understand. You need this!
Out of Darkness
A journey from Jesus to Justification
Out of Darkness
A journey from Jesus to justification!
Many people are spooked by the word "theology." They see it as a ploy to turn lovers of God into boring bible intellectuals. However, the author intends to show readers how theology leads us to discover God's character and His nature. It is not just absorbing Scripture; it is all about a relationship with the Author pf the Book.
Stand Your Ground
How to overcome in the dark day!
In Ephesians 6, the word "stand" is repeated four times. Verse 11 says to "stand firm against all strategies of the devil." Verse 13 NKJV says, "withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." And verse 14 says, "Stand your ground." We get to stand, therefore, until we get what we are standing there for. Stand, stand, stand, stand until we are the last ones standing. We are to maintain, resist, stand our ground, enforce the victory and declare God's Word, and the devil must flee from us.
I want to encourage you to operate in the victory already secured by Jesus at the cross, which includes healing and freedom from the oppression of evil influences. We don't need to persuade God to set us free or heal us. Instead, we stand our ground in faith and act on the authority Jesus gave us. Go for it!
FOREVER FORGIVEN
God is not counting or holding our sins against us!
When we understand God's forgiveness, which is given boundlessly because of God's unmerited favour towards us, we realise that it is true even though we don't deserve it. And there is nothing we can do to earn it. The only thing left for us is to accept it humbly, gratefully receive it, and acknowledge that God is real and that there is only one way to the Father, and it cost God dearly. Our Salvation is free because Jesus paid the ultimate price for it. Oh, what a Saviour! It is always the goodness of God that leads us to change our minds about Him and His ways and gives us the strength, grace, and ability to overcome. Forgiveness is forever; it does not require us to confess, beat ourselves up, or show super sorrow. It is the simple Gospel.
This is a foundational teaching that is not based on what we may have heard about an angry God who is ready to condemn. Forgiveness, mercy, and grace are gifts that are freely available. The only condition is based solely on our free choice to accept or reject it. Once we understand this, other biblical truths make sense. So, I encourage you to discover the truth for yourself and let it transform you.
The Old Is Gone The New Has Come
The Old Covenant is mankind reaching up to God.
The New Covenant is God reaching down to us.
This eBook explains the differences between the Old and New Covenants in a clear and concise format. In a nutshell, the Old Covenant could not make anyone perfect, so God had to bring in something better. The New Covenant, sealed with the blood of Jesus Christ, brought greater glory to God than the Old, and now we have access to God. We have unending grace, forgiveness and a victorious life in our wonderful Saviour.
After studying the differences between the Covenants, I gained a deeper understanding of the entire Bible, particularly the plan of God for humanity. This is by no means an exhaustive or in-depth study but rather an overall look designed to spark your interest in God's Word and encourage you to conduct your own research.
LOVE THE LEARNING
Building on the basics.
If we are to live like Jesus, it makes sense to know His ways and how to operate in the power and authority he demonstrated. It makes sense to know who we are in Him and how it all happens. It makes sense to understand the Truths of Scripture, as well as the contradictions and lies we might encounter. Welcome to my eBook, "Love The Learning." It covers topics such as what it means to be born again, the Cross, repentance, renewing your mind, prayer, baptism and ministry. "Love The Learning" is suitable for both new believers and those seeking deeper theological insights. It adopts a practical and reflective approach that is easy to understand. It is for the new Christian, the mature Christian, the student, and as a refresher of the basics.
JESUS THE HEALER
God's willingness to heal is affirmed throughout both the Old and New Testaments. Healing is not only God's will but part of the redemption accomplished by Jesus Christ through His atoning death. Numerous biblical accounts—from the Passover Lamb in Exodus to the healing ministry of Jesus—demonstrate God's desire to restore and make whole.
​
This publication is by no means an in-depth study, but it reveals the truth about the finished work of the cross of Jesus. Healing is available to you today because it is God's will to heal and Jesus is bigger than our sin, sickness and disease. Put your hope in Him.
