Don Moen. Don’t know him. Heard some of his songs, still don’t know him. Seen him in a few videos and still don’t know him. What I will say about the fella, though, is that he knows how to put together a good song for the purpose of engaging our hearts and minds to the […]
Read More Our Father – Don MoenIt baffles me why I haven’t done this sooner. What is up with me? What is going on? This song has opened the doors to the power of confession more than any sermon or bible study. Yeah a big statement I know and it’s not a slight against bible study or sermons, it’s just a […]
Read More Create In Me A Clean Heart – Keith GreenSkeletons in the closet. What a wonderful phrase and a concept that says so much about our tendency to not be completely transparent about who we are. It doesn’t have to be anything major, but it’s enough for us to store it away in the hope that no one will ever choose to investigate that […]
Read More Skeletons in the ClosetI was challenged not too long to explain the reasons for my position on the identity of Jesus Christ. The challenge was laid out as a matter of urgency because what was at stake was the crucial pivotal point of life – who is worthy of worship. There are perceptions that suggest only God is […]

This is a particularly odd time of year for me. On […]
Read More Is This What I Believe? Crucifixion, Resurrection & AscensionThe story often referred to as the Prodigal Son is a brilliant example of what the ministry of reconciliation is all about. In that story a fair bit of credit is given to the wastrel son as he comes to his senses and realises that he could get better quality food back at his home […]
Read More RestorationDo not rejoice when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles, lest the LORD see it and be displeased, and turn away his anger from him. (Proverbs 24:17-18) Do not say, “I will do to him as he has done to me; I will pay the man back for […]
Read More MTP24 Wouldn’t Wish It For Your Worst EnemyWisdom is for life not just for reading in a book called Proverbs. It’s all well and good to get stirred and inspired by words on a page, but there’s something inspiring when it comes alive in the human experience. Take for example … Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his […]
Read More MTP19 Wisdom Has You CoveredI’m sure I’ve written about grace before. I think it was back in the early days of blogging when it more splurging than any sense of continuity in writing. I know I’ve read the book by Philip Yancey wondering what’s so amazing about it, but I don’t remember much about the book. Might have to […]
Read More Grace ExpressionsInvestigate my life, O God, find out everything about me; Cross-examine and test me, get a clear picture of what I’m about; See for yourself whether I’ve done anything wrong– then guide me on the road to eternal life. (Psalm 139:23, 24 MSG) Have you had a good look at yourself lately? I mean really? […]
