Which Way Is The Wind Blowing?

There’s this bit in the book of Acts where it’s recorded that Paul and his apostolic team were stopped from going somewhere because of the Spirit of God. I could of course give you the exact scripture location, but I genuinely enjoy from time to time encouraging you to search it out and see if […]

This Is What He Wants

This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth. For,  There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus. He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. (1 Timothy 2:3-6) It would be one of the biggest lies of my […]

The Journey to There

Recently I took out an A5 sheet of lined paper and started writing. What I wrote on it was an outline of the journey I have taken in life thus far. It was just broad-strokes from season to season. One particular aspect of that which proved to be very interesting was looking at the setbacks. […]

Sometimes it is in looking at […]

Come To My Relief

Lord hear my prayer. Listen to my cry for mercy. In your faithfulness and your righteousness. Come to my relief. (Psalm 143:1) There are times when I read the Psalms and it’s not even the whole Psalm that captures me. It’s just one line. Recently I was just reflecting on the tragedies and traumas that […]

Growing In Love

Our family is privileged to live in a house which has a fairly spacious lounge area. There are a few sofas and it get really cosy and snug even though it’s spacious. I love spending time there with my children and my wife. Sometimes I love it when it’s just my wife and I. Recently […]
