“Over the past 6 years God has taken us on an exciting journey. We have seen God do some amazing healings in our very midst, although these types of events do not happen all the time. I am perplexed as to why this is and so I have undertaken a journey which I hope you will join me on. I hope that together will might understand more fully the extraordinary life offered in the Lord Jesus and begin to see and experience life to the full“.

Geoff,
I ran across your blog today and was greatly encouraged with your emphasis on Scripture to guide us through the trials of life. In a recent study of James 1, I was particularly moved by verse 1 which indicates that James audience included “the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad”. It is comforting to know that others before us have weathered the storms of life by trusting that’s God’s purposes for trials far exceeded their understanding. God’s Word is clear; we can go to Him (v. 5), we can ask for wisdom in the trials and pressures of life, and God will give “liberally” “exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power that worketh in us” (Eph. 3:20). God’s goal for us in all the trials and joys of life is “to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge” (Eph. 3:19).
God Bless,
