What Happened Afterwards

He did a good job. I applauded him. The word came across strong and clearly. There was enough in it for me to take something and think it through afterwards and I was already thinking of how I could converse about it with others afterwards. Yet it was the afterwards that really made the difference. […]

Talking To The Author

Soon I hope to post a review of a book I have just fininshed reading. What made this experience particularly unique for me was that I got to engage with the author as I was reading it. I would read a section and then message him to ask for some insight about the chapter I […]

An Alternative To The Posturing

As I sit and watch I see characters completely devoted to their own cause. Not flexible at all to the thought of working with others especially if it comes to sacrificing their own platform. This is where I long to see a Christian alternative. An alternative that is not about one perspective overcoming another, but […]

Pray For Who?

Praying in line with the heart of God means praying for all people. That’s difficult to accept when we consider some of the categories in the ‘all people’. There are some people who hardly seem to merit a truly heartfelt prayer. Yet God still wants to save them. Despite their behaviour and words, as that […]

What To Do About Injustice

All of life is about God. That’s a lesson I keep learning just in case I think there’s an avenue untouched by the reality of Him. On this occasion I was busy minding my own business. Literally. My business among other things involves delivering Health & Safety training. That involves showing the Bradford Stadium Fire […]

What’s Your Hang Up?

What’s your hang up? The way the people dress when they go in that building really shows no reverence to God. I remember growing up when we all know that going into the hallowed sanctuary required the appropriate attire. Now these people have no respect! What’s your hang up? These people have it in for […]

More About Focus Than Balance

I used to get hung up on finding the right balance. Being a husband, a Dad, a brother, an employee, a trainer, a civilian and all the other hats and responsibilities I had would be rather demanding. Especially considering the amount of things required with each responsibility. It would be very easy to get sucked […]

For The Sake Of The Poor And Needy

It’s an aspect of someone’s character that I have admired. Recently though there’s been reason to commend the When we read about Jesus and the amazing things He says and does, it’s understandable we think He’s being radical. What is apparent from the Law and Prophets, however, is that concern for the poor and needy was […]

How Now Should We Live?

Men and brethren, what shall we do? Do you understand what you’re reading? Here’s water, what’s stopping me getting baptised? When the King heard the words, he rent his clothes and called for national reform. When he recovered his sight and got baptised, filled with the Spirit he went about preaching the good news. These […]

Sons and Servants

Son of God. Son of Man. Prince of Peace. Suffering Servant. It’s something that keeps on bugging me about the example I’m supposed to follow. Truly knowing Jesus and following in His Way is something that is both glorious and humbling. It is supposed to capture the reality of being seated with Him in heavenly […]
