It should be straightforward. The whole law hangs on two things – love God, love your neighbour. That’s pretty clear. Who’s your neighbour? Anyone you see who has a need. That first person is usually the person you live with and extends from there in your everyday life. The love from above helps the love […]

Tom Hillingthwaite a hapless man who is sent by an evangelical agency called Jesus4All (formerly the Turn or Burn Coalition) to leave his life in a safe place and go into […]
Read More Book Review: The Unfortunate Adventures of Tom Hillingthwaite by Andy KindI was in this event recently and one of the speakers said something that is still profound. A problem starts when people prioritise what they do over who they are. When that happens there’s a tendency to be activity driven with a character deficit. The whole life existence involves both it is fundamental, however when […]
Read More Answering The Identity Question In A Snapshot of DavidAnthropomorphic. Lovely word. Describing the of applying human traits to non-human. Quite rightly we get criticised for conducting that exercise to almost everything, including beings that have no human connecting points. I wonder if we appreciate that rather than being guilty of looking at bringing down God often we miss who He is because He […]

As I have done this I find myself being the recipient to great blessing from a variety of angles. Some of […]
Read More Blessed To Be A BlessingAlthough I wouldn’t class myself as a political junkie I do love me some politics. Yeah I mean it. I love it.

Read More To Vote Or Not To Vote Is Not The QuestionHe must have disappointed some. They were expecting someone to roll in and overthrow the oppressive political regime of the day. They wanted him to establish the throne back as it was in the old days. They longed for that. They longed for the good old days of glory, glory Israel. But no. Instead he […]
Read More It’s Not How Things Are Usually DoneThe story of Gideon is a fascinating one. Some are taken up with the times he checks if it’s God really instructing him. Others are taken up with the task of reducing an army in the thousands to the lower hundreds to face and defeat an army far greater in number and reputation. Those are […]
Read More Demolishing The IdolsHe did a good job. I applauded him. The word came across strong and clearly.
