We love this couple. By we, I mean Authrine and I. We love this couple. They are so beautiful together. They are treasures that are now not so hidden and we have the blessed opportunity to uncover more of the riches within them as we engage in conversation. It’s only fair that we divulge ourselves […]
Read More We Are SharingBack in the day, I loved the commentary styles of the likes of David Coleman, Brian Moore, Barry Davies and John Motson. If you’re not interested in sport and English commentary on the variety of sport then this won’t mean much to you, but it meant heaps to me for years. Apparently there was some […]
Read More My WordRecently I had the privilege of sitting in on a small prayer meeting. The thing about settings where there’s a small number of people is that if those in attendance are interested it gives room for lively and engaging dialogue. The nature of the prayer meeting gave space for people to share their prayer points, […]
Read More The Choke HoldPeter in his second letter to believers encouraged them to build on eight qualities to ensure they remained fruitful and productive in their knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Read More Something About Praying TogetherIt gained a grip when you were told of the cost. It’s grip tightened every time you thought of what would happen if you ever let go. It took a stranglehold and refused to let go. It must lose its grip when the love of God breaks through. The basis of lies on which it’s […]
Read More Fear Must Lose Its GripRecently I was reminded of the importance of being before doing. That is to say always remember that from my identity in Christ flows what I do, what I say and what I think. I am not to be hung up on looking to fix spiritual problems with physical solutions. That reminder was necessary because […]
Read More Who You Were Is Not Always Who You AreThe thing about reading scripture in the morning is that it can set you up for the rest of the day. Lately what I have tended to do is have the chapter on audio and repeated while I develop what I write about it. That can take as long as an hour at times, so […]
Read More There Must Be Something In The WaterThere are some situations in life which are simply unacceptable. Our capacity for acts of evil to each other is not something to be happy about and when we commit such acts there is no need to excuse it, overlook it or neglect it. Even forgiveness is an active response to it that suggests that […]
