The irony of this entry shouldn’t be lost on you. Just to stress it. I love words. One of the main drivers behind blogging. I love the power it has to shape and influence thoughts, feelings and actions. There are times however when words are so inadequate. The more time I spend realising God’s presence […]
Read More Inexpressible: More Than Words Can SayOne of the things about singing is that it’s a great way of expressing things that words on paper or words spoken cannot convey. You don’t have to be an ace singer to appreciate it. Consider the song How Great Thou Art. One thing to consider Creation, the Crucifixion and the Culmination of all things […]
Read More Makes You Want To SingA saying suggests there are only two things guaranteed in life – death and taxes. Reflecting on the experiences I’ve had and witnessed as a Christian, I’d suggest certain other things are as close to inevitable as you can get without dying of taxation. It’s Inevitable: You will be misunderstood when sharing your faith with […]
Read More It’s InevitableSometimes I take prayer for granted. On Friday I have a job interview. I found out recently and, unusually for me, I asked quite a number of people to pray for me. It’s unusual because I’ve tended to keep such matters close to my chest only informing a few others. This time, however, it felt […]

Read More Without Faith It’s Impossible To Please The LordHave I mentioned how much I love words? I love them. They are so cool. I was listening to some guy using them in a speech. After he had finished the audience gave him a hearty standing ovation. The problem was however, the words contained truths that called for action. It wasn’t just for analysis […]
Read More Nice Words … Now What?I am a home body. I love home. I love the familiarity, the warmth, the family, the routine, the safety, the sense of being enclosed from outside forces. I love it. It is something I look forward to returning to after a day’s work. My recent history has seen us move houses and locations fairly […]
Read More Sometimes You Have To Go OutsideMinistry is an interesting concept in thought and practice. The model of ‘ministry’ I saw growing up consisted of the main man having to be bi-vocational as there wasn’t enough income to make him a ‘full-time’ minister. So they had the week job, then come church day, they’d have to roll out the main event […]
Read More Family & Community: Ministry MattersThe thing about eternity is that it has no start and no ending. The thing about a relationship with the Eternal One is that in spote of the beginning and end, it always serms that the ends are never final and even the beginnings started earlier. Imagine being at that eternal dance before time began, […]
Read More September Sojourn: Ends and BeginningsI am amazed by the love the Son has for the Father. I am amazed by the love the Father has for the Son. I am captured by the love of the Son for the Father. A love that saw Him voluntarily left His position in glory to take on humanity. A love that looked […]
