You ever wondered if God created you to be independent? How many self-made folks really did it all by themselves? I wonder why that image of the person doing it on their own is so appealing? My testimony will always have episodes of people encouraging me. However much I wanted to lean into loner credentials, […]
Read More Urging You OnWhat we did at the beginning was meet and pray. At that time it was just in one of the homes. We’d meet up, have something to eat and drink, talk about life both the subline and the ridiculous. You could really sense the development of relational bonds between us though. We were getting used […]
Read More Returning to the Basic IngredientsI can’t explain it in a way to please those who require testable proof. Yet I just know when people are praying for me. It’s something I can distinctly feel. And feeling that makes a massive difference to me. It reminds me that I’m not alone in this quest of following Jesus. It reminds me […]
Read More The Difference Prayers MakeBeing among saints is not primarily a spectator sport. That’s not always the impression you can come away with if you peruse certain circles. This is why the walk of faith calls for diligence to walk it among the brothers and sisters. It is a great privilege to truly engage in life following Jesus with […]
Read More Diligence: With Brothers and SistersThere are a number of times in following Jesus where requests are made for us. Not individual requests – collective requests.

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 ThemDid they get the right idea of what the offer is? Have you ever subscibed to something or became a member of something because of a really attractive offer and then when the novelty wore off, you almost forgot about it completely until something would pop up to remind you of what you signed up […]
Read More Being A Member – Did You Get The Right Idea?We didn’t go away for long. We were back within a week. Yet when we got back, it felt like we had been out of the loop for ages. I personally appreciated coming across the new friends we made when we were away. It is good to visit new places and connect and appreciate new […]
Read More Keep In Touch: Longing For That FamilyTo the best of my knowledge, there were less than a dozen of us. At times there might have been more than that and if visitors and guest came in, it could literally be up to three times that number. Regularly though, on a week to week basis, I don’t think there were more than […]
Read More Wait A Minute – Just That One Guy?One of the worst parts of a failed relationship is when it’s down to trust being broken. It might look cool to appear non-committal and wait for others to make a move before you think of making one, but actually beyond that hard surface there is something that finds being free to make steps and […]
