It’s one thing for Joshua to get his call from God to go forward and possess the promise. It calls for something else for the people to go with him. Hearing the East Jordan tribes suggest that they would commit to the cause they were called to and encouraging Joshua to do what he needed […]
Read More Confronting the Challenge of the Community Commitment to ChangeThis is such a fascinating video to consider in reading and understanding scripture, I just had to share it. For His Name’s Sake Shalom C. L. J. Dryden
Read More Social Location and Biblical Interpretation (Mark A. Powell)It’s becoming ever clearer to me that I don’t have that much to offer humanity. I don’t say that in a sad and belittling way. It’s a relieving and refreshing realisation because the challenge is then to be getting on with the things that I do have to offer to humanity. Among the bits and […]
Read More It Was Good Talking With YouAs with a lot of things in life, there is nothing wrong with standards in and of itself. Our idea of right and wrong, good and bad are based on standards.

He is one of those guys who you can immediately love because he’s such a gently, honourable man. He is not afraid to cry for Go and he’s very sincere in his commitment to God and […]
Read More Pointing To The AlternativeAll of life is about God. That’s a lesson I keep learning just in case I think there’s an avenue untouched by the reality of Him. On this occasion I was busy minding my own business. Literally. My business among other things involves delivering Health & Safety training. That involves showing the Bradford Stadium Fire […]
