How big is your Bible?

How big should a Christian’s Bible be?  Good Christians should have a really big Bible so that other can clearly see it’s a Bible.  Really spiritual Christians should have a leather bound Bible with cross references.  Bible’s that contain only the New Testaments and Psalms are ok for new Christians, but you really should aim to be… Continue reading

Too good for God

“Religion is a crutch for weak people”

I’m sure you have friends that say this kind of thing. They may add: “I don’t need God, I’ve got it together!  I lead a good life.  I’m not a rapist or a murderer or corrupt.”

About Me

My name is Andre Visagie.

I'm married to Lizanne and am the proud owner of two dogs - Charlie and Splash.  My wife and I enjoy reading, MTBing and scuba diving (in warmer water!)  I also serve as one of the pastors in our church

This blog consists of my thoughts and reflections as a Christian and a pastor.  These blogs are hopefully shaped, informed, and governed by the inspired, true, ever-relevent, authoritative, inerrant Bible.  

It is my strong conviction that God speaks to us today through what was written back then by the biblical authors.  More often than not, each post expands a subject covered in my sermon of the previous Sunday.

Your comments are very welcome and I will attempt to answer each concern or question.  Of course, I make no pretension of being infallible and I will reserve the right to edit my posts!
