Just some questions buzzing round my head. Is it right as a follower of Jesus to consider the concept of ‘success’? If so, what is the disciple’s definition of success? How can it be measured? Is it fair for it to be measured as other non-Christian projects are measured? Is it possible that we may […]
Read More Measuring SuccessThis is a precarious project. The instructions were straightforward, but it’s often those that get muddled in our efforts to … ‘simplify’ the straightforward.

Read More What Kind Of Man Are You? In Pursuit Of PeaceLove or fear. Generosity as a characteristic is incredibly attractive. Something I’ve noticed is that generosity is not based on material goods.
