It’s been bugging me for a while and even in writing what I’ve written about it, the itch hasn’t been sorted. I am referring to the issue of mutual submission. I started it in general when considering it as the key response in how we can work together. Putting flesh on those bones I looked […]
Read More Mutual Submission: Fruitful RelationshipsI thank God for cartoons. Back in the day … back in my day (80’s to mid 90’s), there were lots of stories and values conveyed cleverly in cartoons. Good cartoons. Cartoons that a parent could safely leave their son to watch for hours without any disturbance, There are many that could be mentioned, but […]
Read More ScrappyFrom the outset let me say a positive word about entertaining. That which entertains can genuinely be a source of pleasure to the soul. Someone who sings well, someone who has an ability to keep people glued to their seats by their oratory, someone of that sort, can be a medicine and a needed tonic […]
Read More Edify or Entertain?I have found of late that I am rather fascinated with the Body of Christ. This might be a bit like saying that I have found of late that I am rather fascinated by football. Which is like ‘duh, tell me something new’.

Read More At Work For HimHoly Ground: The Narrow View It is amazing how some of us read our Bibles and come to interesting conclusions that effectively miss the point. Take the church building. I understand some people see this physical structure as something of great importance. Indeed some refer to the space used for the main services as the […]
Read More We Are On Holy GroundEven when I was growing up in church, there were some words used that I did not understand. I heard the words used a lot, but had no idea what they meant. Short words like ‘glory’ and then some bigger words. A word like sanctification. Now, with no disrespect meant to those who attended the […]
Read More Defining SanctificationThere are some parts of scripture that are not easy to read. What makes them so challenging to read is because they are so rich and heavy with detail. Such is the attention to detail that you cannot just read it as you would a piece of narrative. For example Exodus is exciting for the […]
Read More A Radiant RelationshipThis weekend a very dear friend of mine challenged me. There are a group of churches in a geographical region who are lacking in numbers. Meanwhile other churches have more numbers and could certainly do with giving some of their members the opportunity to serve elsewhere. My genius idea was to offer the opportunity to […]
