Do you believe everything that we believe? Do you abide by the cultural norms that we apply? Do you stick to the dress code? Do you enjoy the songs we enjoy singing? Do you have the same reading of scripture as we do? If you do, you’re more than welcome and surely the unity of […]
Read More Truth and the Christian Way: UnityMaybe it’s not the whole truth. The book that these people follow makes some interesting statements and assertions. Among them is a kind of exclusivity about what it is to be right. It kind of implies that the only way for life in its fullness is through this faith in this one guy. However, maybe […]
Read More Truth and the Christian Way: OptionsThe rows all point to the platform. On the platform is something they call a pulpit.

Read More Appetite and the MindPraying on my own has a lot of pleasant aspects to it. I do love it. What I have grown to enjoy all the more this year, however, is the real joy to be found in praying with others. I love what others bring to prayer, how they pray and the insights they share in […]
Read More Grateful for PrayerAmong the many aspects of the blessed, Jesus highlighted that peacemakers are blessed by being referred to as sons of God. It’s interesting that this aspect of the blessed is not always emphasised. It still seems as though I can go looking for God to bless me and restore me and all that other good […]
Read More A Word On PeacemakingInterestingly it took me a while to remember it was a new month, but when I was at work yesterday, I was baffled as to how things weren’t recognised as being in December.
