What’s Your Hang Up?

What’s your hang up? The way the people dress when they go in that building really shows no reverence to God. I remember growing up when we all know that going into the hallowed sanctuary required the appropriate attire. Now these people have no respect! What’s your hang up? These people have it in for […]

Disciples Assemble

Errrrr … Christopher are you using an upcoming movie as a cheesy link to something you want to talk about? Yes. First thing’s first. I do hope to watch the sequel to Avengers Assemble. I really enjoyed the first movie, I am invested enough in the storyline to be intrigued as to what happens next. […]

Thank God For Older Brothers

Growing up in the home I lived in I had an older sister, but not an older brother. When I left home to go to university I sent the following summer staying at someone’s house. Staying in anyone’s house as I’ve subsequently discovered is a big deal. Staying in a single man’s house is a […]

Bigger Than That

Getting a good perspective on God is a healthy approach to life. In 1 Kings 20 there’s an interesting episode. The king of Aram feels he can beat us the king of Israel and so challenges him only to get a beating. He does a runner and regroups. A year later he decides to have […]
