I am a loner. My preference has been my own company. Even with a beautiful family of a loving wife and three really awesome daughters, I don’t always love spending every minute of my time with them. Despite being a loner, however, the love of God compels me again to understand that I am nothing […]
Read More What I Love About Church: FellowshipLet me be honest with you. I sit in on church services and hear people say that they don’t know what anyone else came to do, but they came to praise the Lord. I hear others remarking how the gathering is for the primary purpose of worship. Don’t get me wrong, praise and worship are […]
Read More The Question of FellowshipThe other day I sat in a church service and the one leading the service selected Revelation 3:14-22 as the scripture reading.

Read More The Work of The Ministry: It Takes A TeamOn the surface it certainly is a compelling reason to take on board a church as being serious about what it’s about. We are a Bible believing church. Well that’s it then. Case closed. No arguments from anyone. Oh but wait. What on earth is meant by that? It’s in the Bible – so what? […]
Read More My Problem With Bible Believing ChurchesI am very eager to see change. Change in myself, change in my loved ones, change in those who belong to the Body of Christ and change in those yet to become a part. I am very eager indeed to witness this change.
