There is power in the name of Jesus
The topic of this week’s bootcamp (yes we don’t have ‘small group’ we have bootcamp) was the necessity of acting on your faith - and the power of the name of Jesus. Our pastor had a profound message:
If you doubt the power of the name of Jesus when you pray for healing, or anything else, how can you be sure of your salvation?
If you are a Christian, you believe you are...

Still learning how to fight. Not just getting through, but overcoming. Rejoicing in suffering.
I have spent a lifetime allowing myself to be pushed down and overwhelmed by circumstance. My default response is to withdraw back into myself and follow the same pattern of coping I have used since I was a lonely, timid child. I am too used to being a victim. My soul feels weary from years of being in...
I hate isolation. Truly, it is not meant to be like this. But it’s one of those things you are quite powerless to do much about.

Everything crashing before my eyes. There is nowhere to go, no way out but to look to the skies. Where does my help come from? It comes from the LORD…Yahweh…my rock, my provider, the maker of heaven and earth. He transforms the impossible. He works all things together for my good. I will trust in him. He never fails. When all else fades, one thing remains.

It breaks my heart these things can even be suggested. It also gives me hope that people will realise how twisted our society’s morals have become, and this is just the next logical step. It’s interesting how those who accept abortion are outraged (understandably) by...

I thought I was sick of fighting, but really I was sick of surrender. Oh, it felt like fighting. But what was really happening was I was being attacked and pushed down and it was a struggle just to keep going. Just because you’re in a battle doesn’t mean you’re fighting. I was passive, just trying to cope with each day and letting myself get beaten down again and again. But...
