Dad. Yes, son. Has the world always been like this? What do you mean? The good and the bad, Dad. It’s like for all the good things there are, there seems to be so much in the world that’s been. It’s like as soon as you enjoy yourself over one thing, you’re informed and reminded […]
Read More Prayer for Change – Who Do You Live For?There is something endearing and appealing about opportunists. While everyone has only just glimpsed to see if there was an opportunity, they have seen it a long time and have nabbed it, utilised it and are not thriving from it. They are clinical and efficient in maximising that opportunity whilst others who catch on too […]
Read More Admiring the OpportunistMy friend was telling me that it was because the roots were settled deep that’s why they could endure. It was great to hear that. It was necessary to be reminded of that. Storms come to everyone, struggles are a part of life. The ability to endure is not so much about what you can […]
Read More Built to Endure?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 […]
