Kingdom

It remains incredibly overwhelming to realise that we live under a rule. Before Christ, that rule was by the Prince of the Air whose ability to infiltrate every fibre of life truly tarnished a creation made so beautiful.  The effects of relationships, the damage done in marriages, families, communities and nations has been the backdrop […]

I am a fussy eater. I really am. The question is not so much what don’t I eat, it’s what do I eat. I can be awkward like that. I love eating though. I am a big fan of it. One thing I’m fairly keen on, is having a good hearty meal. Eating, pushing the […]

Collaboration

He writes the words, she does the music. She came up with the idea, they worked on the script, brought him in as the director and once we got our two main.characters, the piece just came together beautifully.

First

Solomon. What a fascinating biblical character. The result of a union that came about by his dad killing his mum’s husband. Still, Solomon is born as an expression of God’s grace to the extent that God shows His approval by giving him a name of His own. Despite the family turmoil with a raped sister, […]

Naïve. The thinking is that I know it. I want to prove that I know it. In looking to prove it, what I actually prove is just how little I know. Naïve. If only they had paid attention to the advice given. If only they had stopped to consider the consequences of their actions. They […]

Maverick

When I read scripture, I cannot help but be intrigued by the maverick character. Two such dudes that stand out in this category are Elijah and John D. Baptist. (I like how he’s the only geezer who has his own gimmick in the Bible, to the extent that it made sense to have that as […]

Beyond

As a follower of Jesus, we have the opportunity to operate in two worlds. There is the world as informed by our physical senses and cultural influences. This is the first world we encounter and as a result is the primary world that informs us of life. When we walk with the Lord in the […]

“Christopher!” shouted my wife, “Christopher!” It seemed as though she was only just calling me when I replied, but she made it clear that it had been some time since she looked to get my attention. I had been involved in something that so interested me, that everything else appeared not to exist as a […]
