How do you share the gospel with non-believers?   For many people they struggle with how to share their faith with those around them and so  I would like to share some simple things that help me in sharing the gospel with the people I come in contact with, that may or may not help you. 1.   Relationship Firstly the only way to share anything with someone is through relationship.   Showing that you care for them as a person not just as someone to convert.    They matter, as a person, and that you want to help them in their situation.   You need to meet them where they are at and relate to them on their level. For example; years ago we lived in Mahoenui, in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of the night a man and his girlfriend turned up at our doorstep in the middle of a domestic dispute where he was drinking and being abusive and she was afraid.   To meet him where he was at and to listen to him and cool the situation down, when he offered me a beer I took one from him and

I love reading the Beatitudes in Matthew chapter 5 through to the end of chapter 7.  It always brings such life and realignment to my life every time I read it.  I encourage you to take some time to digest it.  But in the reading of it, I always find the heart of God, the true character and nature of Jesus and in this, the call of my life as a Christian to walk out and grow in.

Along with that picture, one thing I am noticing a lot of at the moment is the word “communication” and the supp

Last night I saw several pictures that I would like to share with you as I believe in this Christmas season it is easy to be led astray down paths that are not beneficial both to ourselves and to others. Firstly,  I was visiting someone and in their tree was a snake which shocked me as we don't have snakes in New Zealand and then it went onto the ground and I told the owner of the house there was a snake there.  I thought of Eve in the garden tempted by a snake.   1 Cor 10:13 "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man.  And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.  But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it." Particularly at this time we all get tempted with many things and in those temptation sometimes its wise to simply 'say and walk away'.  Recognise those areas in your life where you may be tempted and stay away or walk away from those things that cause temptat
