It’s all well and good being part of those game shows where no one leaves empty-handed. Those are my favourite game shows, to be fair. Those were the ones in my head that I aspired to get on so that even if I was knocked out I would at least get something!! I wouldn’t leave […]
Read More What Do I Have To Offer?Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called “the uncircumcision” by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without […]
Read More Whatever Happened To The Commonwealth?You shall say, ‘It is the sacrifice of the Lord ’s Passover, for he passed over the houses of the people of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians but spared our houses.’” And the people bowed their heads and worshipped. (Exodus 12:27 ESV) The Bible is epic. The first five books of the Bible […]
Read More Exodus Extracts 12 – Meal of DeliveranceHow long would it take Jesus to outline a parable? From that parable he’d probably follow up with another parable.

Read More Crowds and Disciples: A Conversation PieceIt’s funny. I used to think I was a loner. Then I discovered I was a loner who needed to not be alone.

Read More Taking It One Step At A TimeThis blog entry is inspired by a statement made by someone for whom my admiration has sky-rocketed over the past decade. (You know who you are, Your Majesty.)

Read More Your Burden Is Your AssignmentIf my wealth was measured by the quality of people I know well, I would be ten times richer than Bill Gates. One such quality person gave me the honour of visiting a group of us in July to deliver one of my favourite learning sessions of the year. Some people are reluctant to do […]
Read More YIR15 – 07 – The VerdictDelivering training is something I value highly. I love actually training especially to people who want to be trained. I enjoy the preparation for it, the delivery and the reflection afterwards. It’s a blessing to be in that line of work. As such certain phrases are bandied around and one of those is the phrase […]
Read More Out Of The ShellGroups of believers mean well. To see someone come among them, hear the gospel of Jesus Christ and be convicted with the subsequent desire to follow Jesus is a big deal.
