It has always been bizarre to me how some can behave in foolish and sometimes dangerous ways and blame it on ‘being in the Spirit’. It’s bizarre to me because one aspect of the Spirit fruit is self-control. That would suggest that dangerous, reckless, foolish and harmful behaviour could never be sourced in the Spirit […]
Read More Solid September Signing: Living Properly Under The Spirit’s ControlI like history as it happens. The bit I like, obviously, is the story. I love a good story and the past has plenty to keep me going. So many tales of the good, bad and ugly. My own past is littered with all the above. Especially the ugly.

Read More Solid September Sale: No Longer Defined By The PastIt is so hard to carry it. Fears for the future. Worries about the past. Anxiety over relationships. Concern over security.

You can of course go straight to the interview. Yet I would still encourage you to check Randy’s three-part blog covering No Freedom Without Truth in part […]
Read More Os Guinness and the Argument of Freedom From vs. Freedom ToLately someone informed me that ‘no one likes to be used’. I know what he meant, but I’m not sure he got the words quite right. We use things every day. We use them without being consciously aware that we’re using them. Take the clothes you’re currently wearing (of course I assume you are wearing […]
Read More Used or AbusedSo as mentioned in previous posts I have been interested in doing audio stuff and with the help of my brother and Audacity, I’ve been messing around with some ideas. LJN is Life’s Journey Notes and as well as the audio stuff, the devotional type stuff is scheduled to be up and running again very […]
Read More LJN Audio 01 – FreedomOne of the biggest problems in my life has been to do with condemnation. Well into my late teens and twenties my sense of worth was constantly ebbing and flowing. Sometimes I would feel as though I was loved by Christ and that was all that mattered. Other times I would be very insecure, cut […]
