It has been quite a month. Like never before I am acutely aware of how the year has flown by. So much has happened and I see why it’s so important to make the most of the time given because once it’s gone it will never be recovered. It’s with that in mind that I […]
Read More Solid September Summary: Life Is Better With Jesus CentralEuphoric. It’s quite the expression to feel euphoric. It’s not one that I experience on a daily basis, but it is one I treasure when I come across it. Lately I came across it whilst reading the end of Genesis 1.

Read More Solid September Signing: Celebrating Almighty God Throughout His WordInsecurity is quite something. I watched a guy who was in charge of a project. When it came to giving an update on the project, I saw the guy make defensive comment after defensive comment all in a bid to make his project look good. It wreaked of a dude who was heavily insecure. In […]
Read More Solid September Sale: Getting Beyond Inadequacy By Trusting JesusIt would be boring. I don’t believe in being bored. I don’t believe in doing things that bore.

There is a friend of mine who exhibits an extremely gracious and considered […]
Read More Solid September Sale: No Longer Needing To Be CorrectSolomon, eh. What a story. What a character. What wisdom. What clarity. What a tragic end to such a fine reign. A few of us were reflecting on 1 Kings 3, that famous conversation dream between Solomon and God where the new king asks the King of Kings for the one thing He needs to […]
Read More Solid September Signing: Rediscovering Walking The Way Of GodIt has always been bizarre to me how some can behave in foolish and sometimes dangerous ways and blame it on ‘being in the Spirit’.

Read More Solid September Signing: Living Properly Under The Spirit’s ControlThere are forces that seek to distract and confuse. Pressure comes from different sides to suggest your allegiance should be to an individual in charge of an organisation. Some say you should stick to an organisation above all things. Those in relationships feel under pressure to commit all to the other in their demands. It […]
Read More Solid September Signing: Faithful To Christ At All TimesDodging and diving. I can relate with the thinking that leads someone to think that as long as they are dodging and diving the trickier parts of life and still living then it’s alright. You may be aware of the sort.
