Somewhere in being the true follower of Jesus, just being a slave isn’t good enough. Then just being a servant 
in the religious system fails to meet the Heart’s cry for a living relationship with our Creator. The transition from slave to true servant must happen in order to receive the ‘aha’ of a new relationship with Jesus.
To know is experience is to be in an intimate relationship, to be in communication, to have fellowship, to expose one’s inner most being. This can only take place in a relationship where there is no judgment and no unforgiveness, the only one who can do that is Jesus. Read more... (385 words, 2 images, estimated 1:32 mins reading time)

In any discussion on what goes on in ‘the Church’, we need to remember that the Lord is building His Church. 
It isn’t the institutional, religious system, nor is it a structure of legalism and rules that come from self-effort. We must remember that the Lord will rise up His leaders as well.
Having said that, sometimes we can learn what NOT to do – by watching those around us. One picture the Lord used was the church as a flock of sheep. Anyone having sheep in their background knows that a bunch of sheep are not the wisest creatures on Earth. Read more... (1098 words, 3 images, estimated 4:24 mins reading time)

Getting ‘Egypt’ out of the heart of the Israelites was one of the hardest lessons for Jehovah God to teach His people. Back there, they were slaves, and servants – without any authority over their own life. They had the mind-set of being in servitude to what was around them. Egypt was their Master! They really believed: “I don’t have a say so I can’t achieve much …”. As a result, they were limited, restricted and certainly not where God wanted them to be for the future. Slave they were and slave they lived. Read more... (658 words, 2 images, estimated 2:38 mins reading time)

A. VIEWS FROM A COUNSELLOR’S NOTES
1. A most common issue
In my over 30 years of counselling, many common problems emerge. For those who walk by what the Bible teaches, the most damaging issues is unforgiveness.
