South African Christian News: Telling the God Stories of Africa
The future of the Jewish people in Europe – and even in America – is at great risk, with many leaving for Israel or being advised to do so. Much of the shocking rise in worldwide antisemitism that is behind this mass exodus has been witnessed by Dr Fred Wright, […]
I love to share the story of the port that launched the Gospel “ship” to the nations. My love for Jaffa, at the southern end of the bustling coastal city of Tel Aviv, goes back to when my wife Linda and I spent 11 days there following a study tour […]
I have noticed over the years how God often gives us a physical example (or symbol) of what he’s talking about, later to be fulfilled by a spiritual reality. As Jesus explained to Nicodemus, we are born of water (I guess meaning from our mother’s womb when her waters break), […]
