I get very tearful from time to time. The tears are very rarely out of sadness. They are tears expressing amazing admiration and gratitude for the grace and kindness of God. Wondering at His greatness and experiencing His faithfulness in the mundane as well as the marvellous. I take to heart the episodes of Jesus […]
Read More Taking Him At His WordDo we even have the desire to spend the time exploring what is needed to be properly informed? What am I talking about? First of all, you need to know this question emerged from another great conversation I had with a very dearly loved friend. There’s a place that we meet on a fairly regular […]
Read More Make An Informed Choice?There is doing a job because you have to and living a life because you love to. I really enjoy football. (Yeah it’s football, we call it football, you can call it soccer all you like, it is a game played with a ball predominantly moved by the foot and so football is a fitting […]
Read More A Practice That Portrays A PassionThere is something so beautiful about being with those who love Jesus. Recently I had the great privilege of sitting with a few folks who love following Jesus. They’re down to earth, honest folks. They are not into Christianese, they don’t follow many of the traditional church conventions of practice, because they’re honest types. (I’ll […]
Read More Jesus, I ComeIt’s weird when I think about. There’s really nothing about me that would make me someone who is naturally inclined to enjoy prayer meetings. Growing up in a church background I genuinely found prayer and prayer meetings to be among the most boring parts of the Christian practices to which I was exposed. I remember […]
Read More Prayer, People and PersistenceI love me some Columbo. I think he’s one of the best fictional detectives ever. So there’s this episode that features a professor getting killed remotely by two of his students and the two students look to be as ‘helpful’ as they can in the investigation with the Lieutenant. It’s fair to say they look […]
Read More Staying On The ScentRedeemed. I love it. There’s a hymn of the same title and it’s the epitome of the term ‘uplifting’. It’s a waltz kind of tune that I can literally imagine a little child being swung up by a parent and the child giggling at the fun of it. Even as the last line of the […]
Read More What The Redeemed Have To SayJesus is the Standard. Well duh, you might think. That’s, like, so obvious. Of course he’s the standard, it’s not going to be anyone else is it? Funny I should ask that on your behalf. Recently I was doing a test for … ahhhh well that would be telling, it was just a test in […]
Read More The StandardThere’s a taste I get in my mouth sometimes. Especially when I wake up having had a nap or been asleep. It’s not a pleasant taste in the mouth. So I’ve really appreciated the freshness of my breath when I brush my teeth and gargle it with water. I would even recommend some decent mouthwashes […]
Read More Streams … for RefreshingRecently I reflected on what has informed my worldview. In my childhood I asked a lot of questions and usually those questions began with the word ‘why’. For whatever reason those I asked the questions to were somewhat uncomfortable and unsettled by those questions and looked to shuffle me off with a standard line suggesting […]
