Have you ever felt that God is trying to get you to just stop and give praise? The other day, as I was going about my day, the song ‘Raise a hallelujah’ by Bethel popped into my head: I raise a hallelujah, with everything inside of me I raise a hallelujah, I will watch the …
Devotion by Keona J Tann: Only You Can
God has been taking me on a journey of looking out for opportunities all around me because I desire to see my actions affect others.

Do you ever see a news article or blog post about “the latest scientific study” and think it was a complete waste of time and money, because the answer was self-evident? Here’s one I read recently.

Today is ANZAC Day. All around Australia and New Zealand, children and adults will be awake, showered and dressed long before dawn. They’ll drive across town in the dark, hoping to beat the crowds and find a space in the car park at the Returned Services League (Australia) or Returned Services Association (New Zealand). They’re …

Many non-Christians around the world may question as to why we call this day Good Friday. After all, today is a commemoration of the day that Our Lord Jesus was sentenced to death, viciously tortured and nailed to a cross. What on earth could be good about that?

A Surrendered Life
For some time now I’ve been reflecting upon the Garden of Gethsemane and there is just SO much I could say and unpack, but what really hit me was Jesus-the-surrendered-One. The prayers that Jesus prayed in garden were things like: “My Father! If it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from …
