Not so long ago, I was having a conversation with a brother who I have considered to be somewhat of a non-conformist. By that I mean, the church circles in which I usually circulate has a certain culture that tends to have its subscribers and those eager to fit in with the status quo. It […]
Read More YieldNow Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.” (Luke 11:1) Communication is the key. Effective exchange of information from one party to the other and vice-versa. It’s a basic fundamental feature of life. When […]
Read More A Look at Luke 11 – Have A Talk With Our FatherAnd when it was day, he departed and went into a desolate place. And the people sought him and came to him, and would have kept him from leaving them, but he said to them, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well; for I was […]
Read More A Look at Luke 4 – Testing and PurposeI must confess, I have a soft spot for certain types of junk food. It’s in the best interests of my health that from time to time I stay off them for a period of time, before reintroducing them in the diet. I gotta say, one of the things I like is just the look […]

Read More Is Church Like Business As Usual?Reading the book of Acts there’s quite a lot of astounding things that happen after the ascension of Jesus Christ. I remember asking and now I’ve lived to see my children ask: if things like this happened at that time, why don’t they happen now? Some blamed it on a lack of faith. Some blamed […]
Read More That Was Then, This is Now: So?When I needed help you were right there. Sometimes I don’t even know how you knew, but you did and you were there. You made no demands of me. You saw I was burdened and told me to rest. You patiently waited as my stubborn way bucked against the wise counsel. Your rebuke was not […]
Read More Appreciating AssistanceI can’t remember when the spectre of asthma did not hover over me. At it’s worst I have been hospitalised because of it.
