Jeremiah 14:10a “This is what the Lord says about the people: They greatly love to wander; they do not restrain their feet.” The people of Israel are complacent with their obedience to God. Their false prophets and priests were misleading the people to think that they would not suffer under the sword, famine or plague... Continue Reading →
Today I share an absolute family favourite, Chicken Parmigiana. This is one of our dinner staples that gets a lot of 'ummmms' while being eaten. The crispy and crunchy outside with the melted cheese is just drool worthy. For some reason, I had not made this for quite a while and have in recent months... Continue Reading →
In Jeremiah 20 (which can be read in its entirety here), we see opposition to prophet Jeremiah beginning to harden, the start of the chapter gives us a glimpse into his persecution at the hands of those who did not want to heed God’s word. Pashhur, the chief officer in the temple, heard Jeremiah prophesying and had him... Continue Reading →

Today I got an easy one pot chicken rice that is yummy and can easily be prepared ahead if you know that you have a busy week ahead and want to come home and have something hearty and tasty without doing much just before. This recipe is inspired by one I found online a while... Continue Reading →
Jeremiah 2:11 “Has a nation ever changed its gods? (yet they are not gods at all). But my people have exchanged their Glory for worthless idols.” We see God described as the ‘Glory of His people’ here. It intrigued me. In 1 Samuel 15:29 we again see God described as the Glory of Israel “He... Continue Reading →
Jeremiah, the son of Hilkiah belonged to a family of priests in Benjamin. In Jeremiah 1 we read how God calls Jeremiah to be His prophet. The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah saying “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, before you were born, I set you apart; I appointed... Continue Reading →
