Geography wasn’t a subject I was particularly interested in at school. It wasn’t a very boring subject, it just wasn’t one of those that grabbed my interest. Outside of school, though, I remember having a passing interest in maps, atlases and especially globes. I recall wandering around an atlas at the odd named places and […]
Read More To The Nations, For The NationsThe birth of a new born baby, a wedding, a wedding anniversary, a significant birthday, passing a big test, winning, achieving, being honoured and of course Thursdays – all valid reasons to celebrate. Lately, however, I found myself singing even more about the gospel of Jesus Christ. What happened at Calvary. What God achieved in […]
Read More Celebrating the GospelSometimes we get ourselves in a situation we can’t get out of. So mired in circumstances and mental conditions that coping mechanisms are all we have. In the middle of all that I am grateful that the good news is about God seeing that condition did something about it. Doing something we could never do […]
Read More On The Run: The Home RunIt can come across as rather presumptuous to think you know how the story goes. After all, what makes you think you know. Who are you anyway? What do you know?

Among the things I love and respect about this friend is his passion and commitment to God being the gospel. He spoke some good words to me about that focus, which reminded me […]
Read More Timely(Earlier this year I had the honour of being reacquainted with a mighty young woman in Christ. Among her other gifts and abilities is in writing and it’s my great pleasure to offer a guest blog entry for her to share a timely word about what we do with good news. So here be my […]
Read More Manifest: Spreading the Good WordIt was a privilege to be invited to dinner, but the conversation, for all the wit and humour flying across the table, was very sobering. There was a father of several children. He was devoted, considerate and caring to his children and in his community. When his wife died, with his children fully grown with […]
Read More A Word On ExploitationOften I feel like I was born in the wrong era. My childhood was the peak solo Michael Jackson time when Thriller and Bad dominated the charts for a while. Madonna was also a big deal apparently and here in England we had a number of pop groups that were pouting and giving the impression […]
Read More You’ll Never Know That It’s True Until …June was not the first month of being relieved of certain burdens I had taken on unnecessarily. It was however a great month to return to the basics. Those basics are appreciating who I am as a man of God; recognising my responsibilities as a husband, father, brother and friend; then in addition to this […]
