If you love the gospel, live the gospel

Love from the centre of who you are; don’t fake it. Run for dear life from evil; hold on for dear life to good. Be good friends who love deeply; outdo one another is showing honour.

Put your boerewors on the braai

 Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters. One man’s faith allows him to eat everything, but another man, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. The man who eats everything must not look down on him who does not, and the man who does not eat everything must not condemn the man who does, for God has accepted him.

Healing from grief

In view of God’s mercy

 So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking.

Anointed to embrace the other side

 While on the one side the Holy Spirit is convicting us of our poverty, blindness, slavery and captivity, on the other side, He has anointed Jesus to free us by dying on our behalf. 

The role of the Spirit in the life of the Saints

 Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send Him to you.  And when He comes, He will convict the world of its sin, and of God’s righteousness, and of the coming judgement.
