Jesus may well have had his moments of meekness and mildness. That did not mean he was unsure of Himself. In fact so assured was he that he was even able to suggest strongly that all his audience had hoped for was summed up in Him. He even had the boldness to state that the […]
Read More Something GreaterThen Jesus began to denounce the towns in which most of his miracles had been performed, because they did not repent. – Matthew 11:20 The impression you can get of Jesus, is that He only said bad things of the religious rulers and other than that He was a cool, nice, placid kinda guy feeding […]
Read More Jesus CursesHe forgave and He was criticised. He healed and He was criticised. The blind received sight and He was criticised. The lame would walk and He was criticised. He fed thousands without apparent provisions and He was criticised. He spoke amazing words of peace and hope and He was criticised. He deftly avoided traps set […]
Read More Always CriticalRecently I reflected on what I treasure. It now seems like every day I am reminded about just how blessed I am to be husband to an amazing woman. It is a relationship that is undoubtedly the most valuable as far as people are concerned. Authrine humbles me by just being herself. She has no […]
Read More Priceless TreasureJesus says things simply. Jesus does not say simple things. Some people can rightly be accused of trying to bamboozle others with jargon ans fancy words. Some think that a sign of being educated is saying big words. Jesus astounded witnesses because He evidently didn’t go to the same school as religious rulers, yet the […]

Read More Do ItI love a good political thriller. The quest for power leads to underhanded deals, blackmail, betrayal and murder. The one in power is vulnerable, the one lusting after the power will do anything to get it and will eventually pay the price for as the saying goes, you live by the sword – you die […]
Read More Herod ComplexSuperman and Spider-Man have something in common. They are both super heroes. Now I know that may come as a shock to you but it’s true. They are in the business of rescuing people and stopping bad people. The hope of the Messiah was partly about saving as well. Saving and stopping the bad guys. […]
Read More Saviour KingPaul’s Brief Chat Acts 20:7-12 is amazing and hilarious. It’s obviously very important to Paul to share with the brethren at this location. It’s so important that Paul, after having something to eat, tucks into the word he has to share. My favourite verse is 9 which introduces us to Eutychus. He falls into a […]
Read More TimeGod created a world at peace. Everything about the set-up and framework of the creation order was about harmony. A beautiful interdepedence of species and organisms that got an entire ecological system moving even more gloriously than a brilliant choral and orchestral arrangement. Indeed the music we created was a reflection of the harmony of […]
