Love is the motor – the love of Jesus is truly the life-changing element essential in life. Pursuing the change, as has been considered before, brings us into conflict with those who would prefer that change to be diluted, diverted, disrupted and disputed in the desire to leave folks disillusioned. Not only is that to […]
Read More Prayer for Change – The Faithful and Fearless ChurchBen had high hopes for John. From early days Ben would take out his son to practise his football. It pleased him to see John develop a love for the game. It was even better to see that John had a talent for it. Ben was keen to nurture it and channel it especially as […]
Read More He Has High HopesOne of the saddest things anyone can tell me is that talk is cheap. I know where they’re coming from. They have the emotional scars to prove it, so I don’t dispute that experience. It’s a sad thing to hear, because talk at it’s best is designed to be enriching, not cheap at all. In […]
Read More Talk Is RichBack in the day, it was a legitimate threat to us as children. If we didn’t comply we would be grounded. That was serious. That meant we would not be able to go out and have fun with our friends. It meant I couldn’t go to the library and enjoy time with those beautiful books. […]
Read More Grounded to Learn FaithfulnessStarting it, maintaining it, developing it, cultivating it, maximising it, moving on from it. Various e stages that can take place in an initiative. From daily chores to audacious desire. It has been my privilege to be involved in some projects which went through those stages. One of the best bits is the start. The […]
Read More Today Is Just The StartThere’s this riff that Jesus has with his disciples and that’s referring to them as ‘you of little faith’. The little faith folks if you will. He would apply that riff whenever those disciples had got things slightly out of order. Why worry when God cares, you little faith folks? Why have you started sinking […]
Read More Just Making Sure Things Are In OrderIt’s interesting. There was a conversation I heard where two people were conversing about how the earth came about and why that matters today. Whatever your position on the matter is, it’s still interesting to know what people believe and why they believe it. I’m not against science or scientists, but the way one of […]
Read More To The Truth of the Matter: More Than An OpinionIt occurred to me that apt is probably a shortened way of saying appropriate. The sentiment behind both words are similar – it’s fitting, it’s on point, it’s right for the context. It occurred to me when I was reflecting on life at the moment and how March went. As implicit in the name, March […]
Read More Apt for April: A Dryden UpdateWhat I like is when people advise you to be careful when you pull on that thread. That’s not blatantly telling you not to pull on that thread. It’s just a word of advice to be careful when you pull on that thread. What thread is that? It’s that thread that begins when that question […]
Read More Be Careful When You Pull On That Thread“Do you remember when you were hungry?” The question came out of the blue. Right in the middle of a conversation we were having. No lead up to it at all. Nothing to give the reason for that question to pop up. He just blurted out the question and I wanted to see where he […]
