It is true. It’s not that everything that was going on was wrong. There may very well be some good in what is being done. The life of following Jesus, however, does include a degree of challenging everything. Everything. You think it’s a given that being married is a good thing. You see your upbringing […]
Read More Everything Changes From Where You AreJohn didn’t want to say anything. He was just getting on with his work from day to day. He kept his head down and just endeavoured to bury himself in the activities that needed completing. But no. He just couldn’t. This was because of Lisa. Lisa was sat in the booth behind him and every […]
Read More Yeah, But What Will You Do?There is a blame game going around. The state of the society leaves much to be desired. There are ample reports about all that’s wrong and where the gaps are widening and things do not appear to be getting any better. Certain values are subscribed to and a lot of energy and attention is given […]
Read More You Teach ThemSome say it’s important to always move forward and there’s no such thing as standing still because remaining in your position in real terms is regressing. There is an issue for some, however, who are very content doing what they’re doing. They have come across a rhythm and routine to life that they are very […]
Read More Wisdom and Making ProgressAppealing to base instincts. Present something that threatens someone’s sense of security and comfort and it can successfully ignite impulsive fearful responses. Project that same presentation and that nagging feeling can influence actions and attitudes. It is much harder to lead by hope. Especially where that hope appears so fragile, so far away and so […]
Read More Leading by HopeI have a lot of time for the unassuming. There are characters who are ‘larger than life’ and have that imposing personality where they dominate every place they go to. They are the life and soul of the party. Everything must revolve around them. If there’s a conversation going on, they’ll find a way to […]
Read More Favouring the UnassumingWords make a difference. Sure, it’s what you do that counts and those actions can speak volumes. Yet words are not cheap. “Did God really say …” The start to a conversation that was enough to shift humanity from reliance on their Creator to a spiral of self-centred, self-determined and basically selfish ambition. Words as […]
Read More Words as Change AgentsDad. Yes, son. Has the world always been like this? What do you mean? The good and the bad, Dad. It’s like for all the good things there are, there seems to be so much in the world that’s been. It’s like as soon as you enjoy yourself over one thing, you’re informed and reminded […]
Read More Prayer for Change – Who Do You Live For?Rather than institutions and monuments to show that social clubs have lasted generations, what society looks for is a dynamic community growing in love. They won’t see that through activities for the sake of activities. They won’t see that in impressive speeches from appealing individuals designed to captivate without content. They won’t see that in […]
Read More Prayer for Change – ServingThis love is perfect – it’s a perfect love. Not driven by sentiment or requires soft music and appeals to the heart. It is not dependent on how you react or motivated to wait for another to act first. This love looks at the broken, disregarded and abused and extends companionship, healing and restoration. This […]
