It is spring in Cape Town. I love the season. It is a time when things start to warm up, and everything seems a little brighter. During winter, many of the trees in our garden lose their leaves. They look barren, dead, and grey. Yet, every spring, with summer on the way, new green shoots…
Jesus saves, and we are in the business of saving lives. The name Jesus means Savior. He came to rescue us, to save us. “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” (Luke 19:10) “You are…
Don’t walk with the wicked, stand with sinners, or sit with mockers. Rather, walk with God, stand up for what is right, and sit at the feet of Jesus. Psalm 1:1-2“Blessed is the one who does not WALK in step with the WICKED or STAND in the way that SINNERS take or SIT in the…
We live in a world that has gone a little crazy. So many have lost their way. I hear stories of so much heartbreak and hopelessness. Many feel stuck. Every week on the radio shows I present, and on the blogs I write, we receive many requests for prayer from desperate people who feel they…
We live in a world that has become sexually charged. From vivid airbrushed photos to naked fantasies, many are lured into a dark world of deception. While some see it as innocent fun, the truth is that sexual immorality will put you on a collision course with God, it will wreck your relationships, ruin your…
No matter the setback, God can position you for a comeback. No matter your mess, God can turn it into a message. No matter the test, God can God you can turn it into a testimony. To set yourself up for a comeback after a series of setbacks, you need to… “I sought the Lord, and he…

Are you facing a tough time? Are you battling to make ends meet? Are your finances in a mess? You do not need to face your money issues alone. There is a solution, but before we look at it, I want to tell you a story about a young man and his rich dad. …
ARE YOU VIEWING LIFE THROUGH A GOD OR WORLDVIEW LENS? Two people can look at the same scene and interpret it entirely differently. Imagine this scene: A ferocious lion chases down a poor, innocent deer, and the lion shows no mercy. From one perspective, it looks barbaric as the lion tears into the helpless deer….
Extract from the book DARE TO DREAM by CLINTON J WERNER “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ says the Lord. ‘They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.’” –Jeremiah 29:11 NLT DON’T STOP DREAMING Don’t let go of your hopes and aspirations. Don’t stop…
Many are asking if it is okay for Christians to celebrate Halloween. Some say it is a complex issue. From my perspective, it is a simple and big NO. God’s word implores us to “live as children of the light.” (Ephesians 5:8) On the flip side, Halloween is shrouded in darkness: from haunted houses, to dressing…
Extract from the book DARE TO DREAM by CLINTON J WERNER Jesus said, “The enemy comes to kill, steal, and destroy, but I have come that you may have life and life more abundantly.” (John 10:10) Don’t let the Dream Destroyer lure you away from your destiny! The dream destroyer will try to turn your dreams…
I have a confession to make. Over my lifetime, I have made many mistakes, sinned, and been frail. At times, I am weak. I get impatient, think evil thoughts, say the wrong thing, and often mess up. The truth is that I have sinned against God many times over, too many to count. Just ask…
If you find yourself in a tough space, you can call on God. He wants you to bother Him with your troubles. Psalms 91:14-16… “The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them…
God desires a close walk with you. Without prayer, we would not be able to have a close relationship with God. Prayer is a wonderful privilege, yet many don’t make use of this incredible gift. God invites you to be His children and to commune with Him. We do not need to face life alone….
God wants you to be fruitful. He wants to see good fruit in your life. Are you living a fruitful life? I meet some people who are producing incredible fruit in their lives. Sadly, I also meet many people whose fruit looks sick and still others who are barren and fruitless. What Does the Fruit…
We live in a broken world. The enemy who comes to steal, kill, and destroy is causing chaos. What’s Going On? This week, Johann Kikillus from Soteria Ministries shared some disturbing news with me: how “many towns and communities across the Western Cape” he recently visited that “were once mission stations” were “now crawling with…
What Would You Do if Your Neighbor’s House Was on Fire? If your neighbor’s home was on fire, and you knew they were inside, utterly oblivious to the fact that they were about to go up in flames and that their lives were in danger of burning to death, what would you do? I am…
You may be in a situation that looks dead and buried, like there is no way out. I want you to know… God can make a way where there seems to be no way. If you are surrounded by impenetrable walls of bondage that are keeping you captive, I need you to know that God…
You may have made mistakes. You may have messed up. The enemy will continually remind you of your failures. He will tell you there is no hope and no way out. I have good news for you. How you start the race does not determine who you are; it is how you finish the race…
You can have a close-up and personal walk with Jesus. Recently, I have met many people who feel disconnected from God. They feel like God is distant, like their relationship with God is dry and non-existent. Many long to sense God’s presence, hear His voice, and develop an intimate walk with Him, but they feel…
