Whilst roaming around looking for material for an upcoming project, I came across this video. It is truly remarkable how much teaching we still need on the issue of communicating properly with each other. This video is designed for married couples, but there are lots of principles that can be applied to most relationships. It […]
Read More Something About Speaking The Truth In LoveThis is certainly worth your while considering. The practical implications of this would be rather interesting to see. It’s a matter of if congregations would truly let the Spirit work through these elements when we gather together. What a fascinating journey that would be. (HT – The Seedbed YouTube channel) For His Name’s Sake Shalom […]
Read More Something About the Spirit in Congregational WorshipWringing hands. It’s an interesting gesture and it has its place from time to time. Yet sometimes I think it’s an excuse to cover up for inactivity. It’s the physical expression to support the verbal chunterings of how ‘things were better when …’ and ‘how things are getting worse and worse’. There is something about […]
Read More Concern and ActionSo the other day I celebrated my birthday. To be fair, it was the longest birthday of my life. Most birthdays I’ve had last for a day – which is kinda what the point is meant to be. On this occasion, though, it felt as though my birthday lasted an entire week. This was largely […]

Recently I was thinking about what it would be like to be deaf, especially what it would be like to gradually lose the sense of hearing completely having had it fully for a long time. It was not a cheering thought to consider. […]
Read More For A Sound Mind: ListenThe beauty of the Creator is the various ways in which He reveals Himself. I was reading Matthew 17 again and the wonder that the three disciples got when they saw their Rabbi transfigured ad conversing with the Law and Prophets. In the midst of this magnificent convocation, Peter thinks it’s time to mark the […]
Read More Awe From An InsightWriting these blogs does not always come easy. I don’t feel the pressure to have to write something. If that happens I know that it’s a misuse of time putting something together to write about it. Over the past few weeks there just happens to have been a decent thread of issues to whet my […]
Read More The Drive To Get A Right Move OnThere are some things in life that are really obvious. Things like, the start of the year is January and the end of the year is December. That’s obvious. Yet here I am approaching the end of November and it’s really dawning on me that the end of the year is near. I watched a […]
Read More This Is God – Revisiting Psalm 146There is a saying in the culture that life begins at 40. My initial reaction to that was, obviously no one was paying attention to what had been going on in the previous 39 years.
