Grace Touch

How do we react when we aren't hearing from God? Is He really silent when we haven't heard from Him? If He is silent, what does that mean? This episode examines our attitude when we believe God is silent, on the basis of Psalm 28  verse 1, and drawing from personal experience.

In this episode, I explore how developing and maintaining a worshipful attitude helps us wait gracefully, how it makes it easier for us to wait, how it helps deepen our relationship with God and strengthen our faith.

This is the 2nd episode in our series about Waiting. We discuss obstacles, hindrances to our prayers being answered, focusing specifically on false refuges, which is a very subtle and seemingly innocuous form of idolatry.

Drawing on the Bible (as always) and on Anne Hamilton's excellent book, Hidden in the Cleft: True and False Refuge (available on Amazon, Goodreads and more).

In this last episode focusing on marriage, I am looking at what the Bible teaches us about intercultural marriage. The Old Testament contains quite a few passages that clearly show that God warned His children not to take wives from the surrounding nations, but it was always for spiritual reasons, to avoid corrupting Israel with their pagan religious beliefs and practices. Let's look a few examples from the Word of God that illustrate this very relevant topic.

This is the first of the solo series of Grace Touch - listen and you will understand very quickly what that's about. In this episode, we will focus on Abraham and Sarah's relationship.

Abigail's marriage to Nabal gives us a great illustration of a Godly wife's integrity and sense of her identity in the Lord regardless of their husband's transgression. In a way, Abigail's situation might not be as extreme as Hosea's but she too remains faithful to God first and foremost and to her husband, modeling true submission (i.e. lifting up) and living out her role as Nabal's helper (i.e. paraclete) in a very inspiring way. Tune in and get in touch with any comments.

This episode is the first of a series on Marriage. 

We discuss Marriage according to God's original plan through the story of Hosea. How does God react to Israel's repeated unfaithfulness, to our unfaithfulness? What does that teach us about marriage?

In  this episode, we discuss being single and joyful, prospering in every way (3 John 1:2) which is God's plan for all His children, single and married.

How do we approach singleness in a balanced way? How can we be single 'unto the Lord' (Colossians 3:23).
