I like the videos of John Green. When I was wondering what to write about, I saw this video and was struck by just how little I know of the refugee issues. The last comment about dehumanising refugees struck a chord about what the point of the good news should be about. We have dehumanised […]

Read More We Are Servants: Our Transformed Identity from Caesar KalinowskiWe are different. What we do about this is the challenging issue of yesterday and today. What has happened historically is that those differences have been used against us. Difference used to divide and as it does it leaves fragments. We live fragmented lives with cosmetic appeals to wholeness through shared experiences in consumer goods […]
Read More FragmentedFrom my mid-teens to my early twenties I dabbled a little in songwriting. There were tunes that came to my head that I was happy to craft lyrics for.

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 FilledWalking with Jesus is not always about walking in the clear. I say that as a man who has a high value on clarity. The reality is, however, there are times walking with Christ where it gets a bit foggy. Jesus is real and He cares and orders my steps. Yet I can’t always see […]
Read More As The Mist ClearsI came across this and was fascinated by it. Last year I studied to develop a series on our identity in Christ.

Read More We Are Missionaries: Our Transformed Identity from Caesar KalinowskiI am not the first guy to be shown as a paragon of the tough guy image. One area in which I fail when it comes to particularly image is my propensity for tears. Nope, I am not the sort to well up when watching something soppy or mushy or that type of thing. I am […]
