God’s Name is a Strong Tower
Ps 53:5 “There they are, in terror and dread, where there was [and had been] no terror and dread!…” The sheer volume of fake news and misinformation that is sent out on a daily – and I can actually say, hourly – basis, is staggering. Some are so blatant that even the untrained eye and …
Diamond painting
Is 46:10 “I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.’ I sometimes enjoy relaxing with an art activity which is called diamond painting.

A round earth
Isaiah 40:22 He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in. If the internet is to be believed, there seems to be many people out there believing that the earth is …

A mighty man
Judges 6:14-16 Then the LORD turned to him and said, “Go in this might of yours, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you?” So he said to Him, “O my Lord, how can I save Israel? Indeed my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in …
Shalom
Luke 24:36 While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” The Hebrew word Jesus used for peace here, is shalom, derived from the root word ‘shalam’, which means ‘make it whole again’ or ‘restitution’. As you read through the Bible, you soon realise …
Grounded in Truth
Acts 19:32 The assembly was in confusion: Some were shouting one thing, some another. Most of the people did not even know why they were there. What led up to this unfortunate incident in Ephesus? The bright light of God’s truth was shining into the satanic darkness brought about by idol worship – and the …
