INSPIRATION BEHIND THE NAME OF THE BLOG


When an artist decides to make a painting, he "conceives" a picture. He then takes out the canvas, brushes and paint.

This was a covenant, and covenant carries a weight that promises alone cannot bear. Covenant is not just about receiving… it is about giving back. It is about dying to self so that His life may be formed in us. For it is only through dying with Christ that we are raised with Him. It is only through covenant returned that the covenant matures. It is only in the fear of the Lord that we begin to fully comprehend the glory we have been invited to walk in. We have now lived in Oudtshoorn for over four years, surrounded by aloe...
