It’s funny really. We know that a lot of the things we savour in life come at significant cost of effort, time and resources. Whether it’s an invention that is then mass produced for distribution to people who need it or the development of that beautiful baby into a reasonably well-adjusted member of the human […]
Read More If It’s Faith Is It Meant To Be Comfortable?I am fascinated by documentaries about individuals. It won’t take too much to sell me on a biography of someone in an area of interest to me I will sit and pay attention to the story of the making of that individual and their achievements and failures. It’s terrific stuff. The bigger picture, however, and […]
Read More The Crew Did It TogetherMy daughter’s team were really under a lot of pressure. They were getting battered by the opposition. Chance after chance was raining in on their goal. It seemed to be inevitable that my girl’s team would concede at some point. Watching it, most observers would say if any team was going to score it would […]
Read More Against The Run Of PlaySergio Aguerro is arguably the best goalscoring striker in the English Premier League. Not only is he a prolific striker, he also scores goals for the most successful team at present in the English game.

Read More Is That ‘Safe Christianity’ Actually Christianity?Apparently I am supposed to be a self-made man. I should be able to look back on all my accomplishments and achievements and be able to proudly say, I did it my way. I should have the ability to pull myself by my own bootstraps and be able to tell society that I am a […]
Read More You’ll Never Walk AloneThere was a time when believers dispersed around an empire needed something to help them. Help them in challenging circumstances. In that setting, one of the men who would know a lot about challenging circumstances gave this message for encouragement, Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he […]
Read More With Hope In Your HeartThere’s a lot of respect for the individual. In fact there’s a great concern not to be seen to be imposing anything on an individual. Every adult should be left to reach their own decisions and conclusions. That makes a great deal of sense. When it comes to learning to live the life of Jesus, […]
Read More Don’t Leave Them To ItIn my childhood I found sport fascinating to watch. My Dad wasn’t that fascinated in sport at all and the only one he really paid attention to was athletics. One of the sports that I was interested in was boxing. As with other sports I got into, I read some history on the subject and […]
Read More When There Are Disputed ChampionsI like real testimonies. Some of my favourites are ones that say that before they met Jesus their lives were fine and then when they met Jesus it was all turned upside down. I like the ones that talk about how before they didn’t have that many issues in certain relationships, but as soon as […]
