Two incidents took place recently that got me thinking about how Jesus impacts our lives in ways we don’t appreciate. I work with those in the 16-18 age bracket who are looking for help getting a job. I run a number of workshops geared at raising awareness of jobsearch methods and encouraging the learners to […]
Read More Intensity: Once More With FeelingDecisions we make determine the path we take in life. I know some people into science fiction and enjoy the thought of alternative timestreams which shows how life might have turned out if certain decisions had been taken. What if Kennedy didn’t go to Dallas in November 1963? What if Hitler was never born? What […]
Read More Different Paths Of RighteousnessAll of life is lived for Christ. There is no separation from what I am on one day to another. My activities at work express my love for God. My activities on my own express my love for God. My activities with my wife express my love for God. My activities in a church gathering […]

People go on the most fascinating journeys from the feast to the famine and back again. In it all I wonder if people know from God’s perspective, what […]
Read More What Will It Take To Grow?The church is like a constitutional monarchy, where Jesus is allowed the title, but has no authority to make any decisions. (A.W. Tozer as quoted in Simple Church by Tony and Felicity Dale – p 25.) The book I’ve just started provided the quote for today’s blog entry. It was through the usual connections (King […]
Read More Who’s the Boss: Jesus Is Lord … On A Constitutional BasisI love the challenge of what we believe versus what we live out. It is often the case that we sing and declare things in a setting that the rest of our lives contradict.

Read More What Part Of The Gospel Is Optional?Every now and then, it’s good to give a little insight in what I tend to read online. I have a habit of making notes on some of the sites I’ve particularly enjoyed reading in a while and so the opportunity arose again following a really good session of material online that was worth sharing, […]
Read More The World Of The Web According To DMCDI found this video (not that it was lost, you understand) and it has a very interesting slant to take on how seriously followers of Jesus take that mission of following Jesus. For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd
