  • CCUC Family – A call out to please honour your brother and sister

    The season in which we find ourselves in is most unusual. It is also distressing for many and a time when anxiety levels have risen dramatically.

    I had never deeply thought about what it is that the Holy Spirit actually knows outside of Christian concepts until I was at the end of my ropes with a big problem that found its way in my auto mechanic shop one day. A client was offering me a huge payout and a lot of potential work if I could solve his “unsolvable” problem. This is when it hit me to ask…

    Does the Holy Spirit know anything about auto mechanics?

    You’ve probably heard me tell this story. If you haven’t, you can find out what happens here, but…spoiler alert: turns out the Holy Spirit knows A LOT about auto mechanics. (more…)
