A great benefit of singing certain songs is that there is within them fundamental truths that can resonate in a way that reading them may not impact. There’s a line in one song that in particular is appropriate for the reflection on peace. That lyric simply states: the world didn’t give it, the world can’t […]
Read More Fruit of the Spirit: Peace (The Fruit Series 22)I don’t get it sometimes. You’re locked up in a prison. You’re the target of unrelenting personal attack. For as many people love what you do there are others equally determined to see you suffer in the worst way possible before you leave this earth. Some of those you used to rely on have left […]
Read More Might As Well Enjoy YourselfJoy as an expression of the Spirit living in is a fascinating truth to deal with. There’s happiness and then there’s joy. There is something about this quality that goes a lot further than a momentary response to something positively stimulating.

Read More Fruit of the Spirit: Joy (The Fruit Series 21)It’s all the more fascinating reading the things Jesus says to the churches in the early part of Revelation. In as much as those messages were about conditions those churches experienced it still comes across as though Jesus is talking about the conditions that church can be in today.

Read More All I Do Is Think About YouA friend of the family shared their produce from their field. The variety of the vegetables was impressive. What was even more fascinating was the way they described the way they had to time planting of the seeds to maximise the produce at the right time. They could depend on different vegetables cropping up at […]
Read More Fruit of the Word – Right on Time (The Fruit Series 19)The church matters a great deal to me. My parents attended church throughout my years growing up in the household. I have thus been around church environments for a long time. One aspect of the church environment is leadership. I listened carefully to what this video had to say about church leadership.

Read More About Church LeadershipPreviously I had written on how Jesus informed those who would hear how what defiles them doesn’t come from without, but from within.

Read More Fruit of the Word – It Will Produce (The Fruit Series 18)Just some things that came to mind recently: The way we do things, is not the way things have always been done.
