It Started At A Wedding (Not My Own, Obviously) I don’t get invited to weddings often, and of late I’ve loathed being that much in crowds. Yet a dear friend of the family was getting married and invited my wife and I to his wedding. So we made an appearance at the ceremony and even […]
Read More Getting StuckBack in the day, when I was just a little nipper, causing chaos running around in between me mother’s legs and knocking the plain flour from her hand and causing a mess, she would often try and settle the nipper with some gospel music. I loved gospel music then, I love gospel music now. A […]

Read More Redemption and ChoiceI think it’s safe to come out of the closet and announce … I’m not convinced about the argument that tithing is a command for the New Testament church. (What do you mean, there’s something that is meant by coming out of the closet? I thought everyone did it announce their disassociation with tithing as […]

This brings inner peace. Then it gives a peace between members of the family of […]
Read More Peace … with others (not yet in the Family)The Problem With People: A Personal Perspective Getting on with people isn’t that easy. Although I was brought up in a church environment, I found it very hard to get to know people. This was made harder realising people put on masks to avoid being authentic and vulnerable. My parents moved from one end of […]
Read More Peace … with others (in the Family)Psalm 23 is a familiar scripture to a number of people Christian and non-Christian. The eagle-eyed among you would have noted how my signature incorporates part of the scripture.

Read More DMCD Songs: You Make Me Lie Down – Integrity MusicOpening Thoughts Where is all this coming from? Well I give an introduction this mini-series here. As well as that, it’s important to point out the book I was reading that inspired it. Howard Snyder’s Kingdom Lifestyle mentioned this and it is not the first time I’ve come across the role of the ministry of […]
Read More Peace … with GodIf you asked a Christian the top three most important things about being a Christian I would doubt many would highlight their responsibility to the creation in which God placed them.
