It is a dark world. That doesn’t need much in the way of explanation. What’s all the more disconcerting is that some people prefer it that way. Some revel in what takes place in the dark. Some believe they benefit from that scenario. Whilst making noises about seeking solutions and banishing the darkness, they really […]
Read More Prayer for Change – Light ShiningContaminated. Infested. Diseased. Malignant. Corroding. These are not the most positive words in the English language and they all refer to the state of something. You ever think the state of relationships could be described in that way? Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place? The one who has […]
Read More Prayer for Change – Pure and SimpleWhen I heard this, I sat down and wept. In fact, for days I mourned, fasted, and prayed to the God of heaven. (Nehemiah 1:4 NLT) When it finally hits you. Other people can talk about it, other people can highlight it and other people can make it their issue, but it is only when […]
Read More Prayer For Change: There Is A NeedOne of the saddest things anyone can tell me is that talk is cheap. I know where they’re coming from. They have the emotional scars to prove it, so I don’t dispute that experience. It’s a sad thing to hear, because talk at it’s best is designed to be enriching, not cheap at all. In […]
Read More Talk Is RichThe conversation was not initiated by me. I didn’t even know He wanted to talk to me. I wasn’t concerned about Him at all. When I heard people talking to Him, I dismissed it as babbling. People would go on and on. Even though it was with great emotion and gusto, after a while it […]
Read More Prayer for Change: An Opening for a Walk and TalkBack in the day, it was a legitimate threat to us as children. If we didn’t comply we would be grounded. That was serious. That meant we would not be able to go out and have fun with our friends. It meant I couldn’t go to the library and enjoy time with those beautiful books. […]
Read More Grounded to Learn FaithfulnessThen Jesus shouted, “Father, I entrust my spirit into your hands!” And with those words he breathed his last. (Luke 23:46 NLT) Trusting someone is one of the hardest things in life. It’s something that is done consciously and unconsciously at various levels. Knowing what you’re doing when it comes to trust, speaks volumes of what is […]
Read More Be A Good HOST – TrustSummer had already peaked and its decline was evident. Hints of Autumn lurked without ever intruding the last stand of the sunny days. I am not the world’s greatest fan of the summer sun and in those times where it is not as prevalent as it has been, I take hope of the impending season. […]
Read More Zoë Dryden: Remembering New LifeThere’s something profoundly intriguing about how some of us have been conditioned from childhood. The initial years are spent in complete dependence on parents, then as growth takes place with the capacity for explorations and expression, so there is a degree of self-determination. Along with that self-determination there’s a sense in which the parents want […]
Read More Self Determined for Self DestructionThere’s this riff that Jesus has with his disciples and that’s referring to them as ‘you of little faith’. The little faith folks if you will. He would apply that riff whenever those disciples had got things slightly out of order. Why worry when God cares, you little faith folks? Why have you started sinking […]
