Jesus is amazingly simple in His life. His cousin needed assurance that He was the real deal. Jesus hits the nail on the head. People are getting healed, the Kingdom is being preached, lives are changed. Check that news and chill out. Yet when He heard the news that His cousin was killed callously, He […]
Read More Kingdom RealityCharlie and the Chocolate Factory. Two versions of the film available but my favourite remains the one with Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka. Other than the Oompah-Loompahs, the most memorable part is when Wonka opens up the factory and invites the chosen few to ‘hold their breath, count to three’ and enter a world of […]
Read More Kingdom ImaginationJesus may well have had his moments of meekness and mildness. That did not mean he was unsure of Himself. In fact so assured was he that he was even able to suggest strongly that all his audience had hoped for was summed up in Him. He even had the boldness to state that the […]
Read More Something GreaterThen Jesus began to denounce the towns in which most of his miracles had been performed, because they did not repent. – Matthew 11:20 The impression you can get of Jesus, is that He only said bad things of the religious rulers and other than that He was a cool, nice, placid kinda guy feeding […]

It is a relationship that is undoubtedly the most valuable as far as people are concerned. Authrine humbles me by just being herself. She has no […]
Read More Priceless TreasureJesus says things simply. Jesus does not say simple things. Some people can rightly be accused of trying to bamboozle others with jargon ans fancy words. Some think that a sign of being educated is saying big words. Jesus astounded witnesses because He evidently didn’t go to the same school as religious rulers, yet the […]
Read More Shining LightJohn D. Baptist was very brave. I mean who eats locusts? And honey? Who does that? But there is John having them as his diet. I wonder if he had Locust Pies? Locust Fillet? Pomme du Locusts? It’s a tough diet, but the brother stuck to it to his credit. So it’s got to take […]
Read More Do ItI love a good political thriller. The quest for power leads to underhanded deals, blackmail, betrayal and murder. The one in power is vulnerable, the one lusting after the power will do anything to get it and will eventually pay the price for as the saying goes, you live by the sword – you die […]
Read More Herod ComplexSuperman and Spider-Man have something in common. They are both super heroes. Now I know that may come as a shock to you but it’s true. They are in the business of rescuing people and stopping bad people. The hope of the Messiah was partly about saving as well. Saving and stopping the bad guys. […]
