“The sinner is a fool, because he is told in God’s word that the path of evil will lead to destruction, and yet he pursues it with the secret hope that in his case the damage will not be very great. He has been warned that sin is like a cup frothing with a foam of sweetness, but concealing death and hell in its dregs; yet each sinner, as he takes the cup, fascinated by the first drop, believes, that...

What extra joy to be arriving home on the morning of such a day after a long trip, albeit to as glorious a place as South Africa! This post was written before I even went... Read more
We don’t believe in hell for practical reasons. We believe in it because the Bible tells us it is so, and that settles it for us. No matter what some may say, we cannot be shaken from that. But, I ask, do we really live in light of that belief? Is is something that emotionally impacts us? Do we feel it’s truth? If not, as Piper points out, we will both be complacent about our friends and neighbours and lacking... Read more
Less than an hour ago flight BA6426 from Cape Town to Joburg was coming into land when, just a few meters above the ground, the pilot suddenly accelerated the engines pushing myself and the other passengers back in our seats as he climbed steeply, aborting the landing.
