The world is upside down. Sometimes it feels that way. It feels messed up and in disarray and all I am doing is putting a brave face as the mess gets messier. In the middle of this Jesus does not come in and say it’s all calm. On the contrary, His Kingdom mission heavily disrupts […]
Read More ChangeRecently I have been reminded of how it’s worth reviewing a term or phrase so that it doesn’t always trigger a negative connotation. Take the word ‘judgment’. I am sure a number of people would literally like to do that. This is usually because of the bad rep the word has. Judgment – a decision […]
Read More It’s Not All BadI have never read the book, watched a film or otherwise completed any sort of media about The Invisible Man. But I am a big fan of the concept. There’s a question that’s asked in the circles I frequent about which ‘super power’ would you want if you could have any. After joking that I […]
Read More Inspired By The Invisible ManApparently, I heard it said, that Marvin received the news that made him just about to lose his mind on the grapevine. The concept of the grapevine remains a very rich one in my understanding. That whole web of intrigue and gossip feeds a frenzy of misinformation and manipulation to people far and near, related […]
Read More The Grapevine vs The True VineI love the phrase life is full of swift transitions. I was debating if that’s really true. Then I had a conversation with a friend who informed me that a mutual acquaintance who used to be the in-person in certain church circles was now not so loved because of some trifling matter. As it affected […]
Read More Life Is Full Of Swift TransitionsI read the episode and still chuckle. Jesus and his disciples in a boat. His disciples include hardened fishermen who know a thing or two about life on the waves. So when they freak out at a storm that threatens their lives, you must know it’s serious things. Where’s Jesus in all the hullabaloo? Having […]
Read More Serenity in the StormIt makes things a lot easier to know what the purpose of life is. Being assured of that from the earliest part of life saves heartache and grief later. So when we embrace what it is to belong to God, questions of purpose turn into commitment to life lived for the purpose of highlighting who […]
Read More I Am His: Statement of PurposeIt doesn’t matter how much the declaration is made of being self-determined, independent and autonomous, there is to a degree something or someone that owns us, we give our lives over to it or the someone, they hold us I their thrall. I wonder who or what you belong to. For His Name’s SakeShalomC. L. […]
Read More A Matter of OwnershipBack at the beginning of this month, I mentioned what a fan I am of November. As the month reaches its close I am still a big admirer of the month. Although the 2015 edition will not go down in history as the greatest of my lifetime there have been highlights. One of the most […]
Read More Thank God for … NovemberWork, job, career, occupation, something to do. This weekend I was reminded that to be able to work is not a curse, it’s a blessing. We were created to purposefully occupy our time with effort and labour. It’s a beautiful thing. It’s even more beautiful when we approach the purposeful use of time in response […]
