I agree, it’s not always easy or straightforward understanding the will of God. There are parts of the Bible and parts of life that require us to be careful how we proceed. Wisdom is particularly important in these circumstances, so that we make the right decision to go in the right direction. What makes me […]
Read More Helping God OutThis human experience is filled with ups and downs. People have such pleasant sides to them. Lovely smiles, warm welcomes, gestures of concern and interest, suitable arrangements and services if there’s a problem. It can look so well. Look what happens when there’s a massive disaster, consider the overflow of generosity in seeking to help. […]
Read More Why We Need His LoveWhat is delightful praise? It’s the natural reaction to consider just how good God is. It’s being with people who are not inhibited in any way from saying and displaying their joy at the almighty God. It’s witnessing what it is to turn our focus to God and saying what we see with a smile […]
Read More Delightful PraiseIt should be straightforward. The whole law hangs on two things – love God, love your neighbour. That’s pretty clear. Who’s your neighbour? Anyone you see who has a need. That first person is usually the person you live with and extends from there in your everyday life. The love from above helps the love […]

The whole life existence involves both it is fundamental, however when […]
Read More Answering The Identity Question In A Snapshot of DavidAnthropomorphic. Lovely word. Describing the of applying human traits to non-human. Quite rightly we get criticised for conducting that exercise to almost everything, including beings that have no human connecting points. I wonder if we appreciate that rather than being guilty of looking at bringing down God often we miss who He is because He […]
Read More He Knows, He CaresIn my passion and excitement, sometimes I talk too fast. Over the years hanging about with people who talk for a living I have grown to really admire their ability to pace their talking. I don’t necessarily subscribe to the extended monologue, but I do note how people who talk can get their message across […]
Read More A Matter Of PacingI spent the evening with a tremendously humble and insightful man of God. This man is someone I truly admire and of late I have been able to spend some more time with him. As I have done this I find myself being the recipient to great blessing from a variety of angles. Some of […]
Read More Blessed To Be A BlessingJoy is an amazing quality. It’s one of the qualities that has somehow not really been truly explored in my Christian experience. Sure biggies like love and peace have come up. Grace has also been a pressing issue of late in how I engage with others. Yet joy has seemed to miss a lot of […]
