I had scheduled to continue the series on gospel partnerships, but Alan Knox grabbed my attention with this blog concerning Tackling The Love Problem. Such was my interest that in beginning to answer his questions, it morphed into this. So the gospel partnerships series will continue after this brief interval. What is interesting about Alan’s […]
Read More My Response To Tackling The Love ProblemThis follows recent entries I’ve written about appreciating gospel partnership and then defining them based on my experiences. I felt it would be worth sharing some lessons I’ve learnt from pursuing them. It Is Well Worth Pursuing We are called to go into the world and make disciples. That is the call. Often we’re given […]
Read More Lessons From Pursuing Gospel Partnerships – Part OneAfter the recent post on appreciating gospel partnerships, it occurred to me it might be of some use sharing some lessons I’ve learnt in pursuing them. I hope to share those in an upcoming post. I am not arrogant enough to believe I have the answers in this area or am in any way an […]
Read More What Is A Gospel Partnership?One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer—at three in the afternoon … Peter looked straight at him, as did John.

Read More How Will They Know?This is the set up. The room will be quiet. There will be a table with the laptop open. There will be a Bible open on a scripture. I will sing a song, then read the scripture. During that I might make notes on the scripture. I will pray about what I’ve read and also […]
Read More Time For DevotionalLife is so hard. I read that somewhere. I heard it somewhere else. I even said it. On one or two (hundred) occasions. In the light of walking with Jesus and knowing of the gospel message, I thought maybe God’s original plan in making man, was to avoid life being hard. Then I read this […]
Read More Life Is Hard – But …One of the things that bothered me when I became conscious in church services was people not getting it. The nature of our bible studies was conversational (kinda) and so a question would be asked and people could contribute thoughts as well as answers (occasionally). It wasn’t really directional/lecture type study where someone would talk […]
Read More Realities of Life Together – Travelling At Different SpeedsBlame Keith Giles and his twitter feed of 1sr May. I have a tendency of blaming someone else for that which is my responsibility.
