“You can't keep true self hidden forever; before long you'll be exposed. You can't hide behind a religious mask forever; sooner or later the mask will slip and your true face will be known.” Luk 12:2"...

In a few hundred years, when the history of our time will be written from a long-term perspective, it is likely that the most important event historians will see is not technology, not the Internet, not e-commerce. It is an unprecedented change in the human condition. For the first time – literally – substantial and rapidly growing numbers of people have choices. For the first time, they will have to manage themselves. And society is totally unprepared for it. Peter Drucker

"Die meeste leiding wat ons soms van God ontvang is slegs ‘n bevestiging van dit wat ons reeds glo."....

"… anyone who holds on to life just as it is destroys that life. But if you let it go, reckless in your love, you’ll have it forever, real and eternal …" from John 12 (THE MESSAGE)

"Laaste klompie dae in Jesus se lewe was baie moeilik. Jy kan dit maar lees as ‘n verslag van verraad. Hy word bedrieg, daar word leuens oor Hom vertel, die massas draai teen hom, en die hartseer is, dit is mense naby aan hom. ‘n Mens kan nie anders as om hierdie mense te veroordeel nie.
