Magazine – this small act will help us to get the Word of God out every month, and will mean the world to us.Thank you!” It was quite fun writing my Editor’s Letter this month and typing 2022 on the keyboard. Yippee, we can start all over again! New year, new habits At the same time, I have been doing a huge clean-out of my house and all my cupboards. It’s so liberating. I decided “New Year, New Habits”.…

It’s a brand new calendar year and for many humans, maybe a time to start afresh? But for us doggies, every day is brand new! Life for humans seems so busy, there is so much to do and so many distractions – people try to do what is called ‘multi-tasking’, and in fact it seems to have become quite a catchy word! Arnie (my Aunty Trish) recently read a quote to me. It is by Og Mandino, an American author who was inspired by the Bible. “It is those who concentrate on but one thing at a time who advance in this world.” Also I see Arnie reads this often, “Don’t worry! Just take one step at a time … The Lord will guide you always” – Isaiah 58:11. Maybe…

The Blood of Jesus I cannot believe what I read sometimes! The Blood of Jesus is the most powerful force. Nothing is impossible with God. You have to wonder how many unsaved preachers are standing on podiums every Sunday when this is what they can put on a banner outside their church? What does the Lord think about such a banner? To dare to do this is sacrilege. You just want to scream traitor. Go have your vaccination, but it’s nothing when compared to the Blood of the Lord – it’s holy. Drene Tiessen A heartfelt prayer to overcome this pandemic Dear God. It’s 2am in the morning and I cannot sleep. Lord, please hear my plea, give ear to my supplication. We as your people are faced with a…
Response to your article, “Casting Out a Demon of PTSD” For as long as I can remember, I have had so-called symptoms of Bi-Polar mood disorder. I can also claim symptoms of PTSD. At risk of giving anything not of God any kind of recognition or sense of pride in itself, I hesitate to write too much about the long years of battling with highs and lows and general sinfulness in my life, interspersed with periods of grace; when through the prayer and assistance of others, I came to know the Bible and learnt to pray. At one point a brave Christian Minister offered to come to my home and perform an exorcism. My thoughts were: “Okay, I don’t believe in this stuff but if it makes him happy I…
