I thank God for cartoons. Back in the day … back in my day (80’s to mid 90’s), there were lots of stories and values conveyed cleverly in cartoons. Good cartoons. Cartoons that a parent could safely leave their son to watch for hours without any disturbance, There are many that could be mentioned, but […]
Read More ScrappyAm I the only person who thinks sometimes the perception of following Jesus feels like an overwhelmingly individual pursuit? I was reflecting recently how intensely individualistic the perception can be, to such a degree that even elements of scripture that are obviously corporate in nature are individualised.

Read More When Under SiegeWhen you read something enough, you almost get the impression that the book becomes a part of you. I get the impression that reading the gospel of John is a mystery case. The number of times people say they know this Jesus guy only for Him to say something or do something that leaves them […]
Read More John – Who Is Jesus?Often when confronted by religious experts, Jesus would be bemused by their lack of understanding of things contained in the very words they studied so much. Once He outlined how they searched the Scriptures for what made for eternal life to completely miss the point when eternal life walked among them, healing the sick and […]
Read More September Sojourn: Spiritual LiteracyRecently the brethren were studying 1 Corinthians 12 – 14 and we came across what is known as the Love Chapter (number 13). We spoke of the different types of love and remarked on the love of God, from God, for God that also helps us to love others. As you might be aware the […]
Read More Sometimes The Most Loving Thing Is The Stone Cold TruthThere were only three of us. We don’t really know each other that well, but have something in common in following Jesus Christ. We were looking at the section of 1 Corinthians covering chapters 12 to 14. Reading that together and exploring aspects of it – what it meant, what the consequences were in our […]
