Word Worship


“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. Then God said...” Genesis 1:1-2a

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.” John 1:1-2

“’You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is these that bear witness of Me; and you are unwilling to come to Me, that you may have life.” John 5:39-40

I love God’s Word. Sometimes people misunderstand Christians who take time to study their Bible because it seems pointless in such a modern world. I mean, how COULD the Bible be relevant today? Yet, if you just read it you can see that God inspired men to write in such a way that His Word can point us to Him. But the Word is not God, it is the means to see Him and His provision of grace.

Stay near God's Word. Take care. Your servant & friend in Christ, Darlene

PS: For the many who have been praying and sending me emails of encouragement, thank you so much. There was a fiddly technical problem and I finally realised that perhaps I should just stop struggling with it and wait on the Lord. On going prayer requests: Reg’s ministry. Doctors caring for Lyle’s brother (he’s better, but is still unable to stand), David, Adrian and Randy. Gregg to sell his home in the UK. The Kossallys and me during some big changes. For a new project that may be coming through for me in Australia!
