Through a glass darkly—the reality of horror movies

Horror movies. I\'ve never been great with them, but I\'ve always been intrigued and enjoy the ride along the way through the stories that are told. Some are just purely gory, whilst others depict evil as an extremely powerful entity that none can defeat it..

  • A real Christmas

    With less than a month to go, Christmas is bearing down on us with force. It seems like only yesterday it was February. I know I\'m not prepared—and as I realised this, I wondered what it means to be prepared for Christmas.

  • The hands of time

    Benjamin Franklin is quoted as saying \"Time lost cannot be found again\" and this is true, even as one also considers that in this fast paced world, finding time to begin with is a hassle.

  • That which was seen and heard we proclaim to you

    Peter\'s second letter speaks of the truth of Jesus Christ—and Peter\'s message is as instructive to us today as it was to those who originally heard it.

  • You CAN afford to dream

    I\'ve built so much of my life on the lie that I work to live and live to work. Over the last week, though, I\'ve decided to break the cycle of self-doubt and poverty.

  • King David never received a participation ribbon

    Did you know that King David would never have received a participation ribbon? There wasn\'t a prize for second place or 20th or for coming-out to participate. It was either you won the battle and defeated your enemy or you lost and died or became a slave.

  • How can a young man stay pure?

    Here I am again in the same position I found myself in a few months ago. I hear a voice of discipline echo in my mind saying, \"How many times do I have to tell you not to do this?\"

  • What is happening?

    Donald Trump is President of the USA. Something I didn\'t believe I would have ever said in my life. The man from The Apprentice will soon run one of the most powerful countries in the world.

  • The real need

    One day she woke up and started bleeding. At first, she thought it was her usual monthly period. But she grew alarmed when she realised that the flow of blood just wouldn\'t stop. Her team of highly trained doctors didn\'t know what to do.

  • Women of noble character

    I am inspired by many great people in my everyday life. Especially some great faithful Christian women from the church.

  • Western sport and the links to science

    We used to sit on the couch and cringe every time a super athlete would emerge from Eastern Europe or Northern Asia. We shared in such distaste every time we watched an athlete step up to receive a medal we had labelled a cheater based on assumption.

  • The price of rage

    \'Be angry and sin not\' was slowly becoming an irrational, archaic saying in my mind. My self-control and Christ-like behaviour were rapidly wearing thin as I tried to restrict my desired reactions to my thoughts.
