For anyone who doesn’t know me, I have started writing a newsletter over on Substack and it’s titled, The Narrow Gate. This article is taken from there. To read more from the narrow gate, just click the link above. The narrow gate – the way to salvation “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” (Matthew 7:13-14) The Sermon on the Mount is one of the most powerful sermons Jesus gave, and it is quite shocking what…

“Living fully”- what does this actually mean? Are we living fully when we have hectic lives, running here and there? Everyone seems to be so busy nowadays, but what are they busy doing? If you were to ask them, you’d probably discover that most of what they do, lacks any real meaning at all. What is it a that gives meaning to our lives? This is one of the big questions in life. We should all come to a point in life where we ask, is this it? If you haven’t come to this point yet, you will. God created us to be in communion with Him and when we are separated from…

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is; his good, pleasing, and perfect will.” (Romans 12:2) To be spiritually transformed into the image and likeness of God, we first need to have our minds renewed.

This blog will explain this process in general…

According to the Scriptures, anyone who is not born again is walking in darkness, and the only way to come out of darkness is to repent (turn away from your sins) and follow God. God wants you back, but you have an enemy, the devil, who wants to keep a hold of you. Until you are reconciled to God, you are in bondage to the evil one. To be free to walk in the light, you first need to know that you are in darkness. Those who are in darkness are a slave to sin. If you act on auto-pilot and just do whatever pleases you, then you are in…

“Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.” (Matthew 10:39) The journey towards Salvation is a very personal one and often takes time. We are complex beings, but God works in us, and through us, to try to bring us to that point. I didn’t wake up one morning and totally surrender my whole life to God.

Life just got really tough and it was in…
