Ten Commandments

Lessons from stone tablets (Why God didn’t use YouTube)

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!
