The thing about redemption is that it screams out “there is hope!” Even in the worst situations where hope appears lost, the story of redemption says it’s worth holding out for hope. The theme of redemption is particularly something that means a lot to me. There are so many episodes in my life where I […]
Read More Themes I Love: RedemptionDo you believe everything that we believe? Do you abide by the cultural norms that we apply? Do you stick to the dress code? Do you enjoy the songs we enjoy singing? Do you have the same reading of scripture as we do? If you do, you’re more than welcome and surely the unity of […]
Read More Truth and the Christian Way: UnityPraying on my own has a lot of pleasant aspects to it. I do love it. What I have grown to enjoy all the more this year, however, is the real joy to be found in praying with others. I love what others bring to prayer, how they pray and the insights they share in […]
Read More Grateful for PrayerWhilst roaming around looking for material for an upcoming project, I came across this video. It is truly remarkable how much teaching we still need on the issue of communicating properly with each other.

He shared about how he had arranged some forums in which people could gather together and be supported. The types of gathering, he stated, was about being platform. The stage on which […]
Read More About the Platform of PraiseWriting these blogs does not always come easy. I don’t feel the pressure to have to write something. If that happens I know that it’s a misuse of time putting something together to write about it. Over the past few weeks there just happens to have been a decent thread of issues to whet my […]
Read More The Drive To Get A Right Move OnThere are some things in life that are really obvious. Things like, the start of the year is January and the end of the year is December. That’s obvious. Yet here I am approaching the end of November and it’s really dawning on me that the end of the year is near. I watched a […]
Read More This Is God – Revisiting Psalm 146There is a saying in the culture that life begins at 40. My initial reaction to that was, obviously no one was paying attention to what had been going on in the previous 39 years.
