What a goal! Different roles and positions are involved in the sport commonly known as football, which some call “soccer” (I’m praying for you). The game is about attack and defence. The defence is to stop goals from being conceded. That requires discipline, organisation, focus, understanding and an alert team approach. There’s a lot to […]
Read More JJ 24 #40: Celebrating CreativityThere is some innate sense of when something is deserved. A friend and I were watching a football match recently. Two teams faced each other. The away team had a great record going into the match and were said to be the favourites for the match. They gave indications as to why they should have […]
Read More Well DeservedNature documentaries usually don’t attract me. Go ahead and give me that look. I get the whole love of wildlife and how the animal kingdom does its thing. For some it is a riveting subject worthy of the tones of someone like David Attenborough paying careful attention to the rise and fall of that animal […]
Read More Psalm 104 – God Of All CreationSee Genesis 1:28 Just when I thought it was safe to move on from that verse, I came across this video which gave even more pause for thought. Great to consider the encouragement from Mike Breen on fruitfulness. Here’s to hoping we will be in the business of sowing seeds that bring up the fruitful […]
Read More Be Fruitful – About Fruitfulness (The Fruit Series 08)God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” Genesis 1:28 I was walking home recently and it occurred to me that […]

And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” Genesis 1:28 The blessing given to humanity was never […]
Read More Be Fruitful – A Relational Mandate (The Fruit Series 06)And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” Genesis 1:28 The blessing to be fruitful keeps bugging […]
Read More Be Fruitful – A Personal Consideration (The Fruit Series 05)Done. It’s one of my favourite words. Of late I’ve come across a humorous use where someone will say the word to state the end of their engagement in a situation. It works too. I chuckle when the person clearly closes the conversation with the word. It’s a pity then that so many lives appear […]
Read More God In Creation: The God Who CompletesIt’s a set up. That is usually a phrase used in a negative way. Yet there are times when it’s the best thing that could ever happen to you. Often when people refer to Jehovah Jireh the first port of call is the place where Abraham sees God’s provision where a sacrifice is required and […]
Read More God In Creation: The God Who ProvidesIt must be something to look at something in development and acknowledge that it’s good. Noting something like that hints at the ability to reflect, review and rate progress.
