This morning I was reading Acts 8 and noticing what came out of the followers of Christ when the pressure bore down. It’s always apt when the things you study in scripture have a bearing on what you will subsequently experience. The test is always there to determine what is in each of us. When […]
Read More What Comes OutThis evening, my friend Oenca Fontaine had a book launch for her new book My God In A Time Like Now. Oenca has a lot of strings to her bow, she is an incredibly talented trainer, communicator and networker. Her book launch was a brilliant expression of that. The event had people from a variety […]
Read More Abundant LifeThis morning my wife informed me that a red T-shirt I owned had run its course and was good for nothing other than being disposed of. That’s one of the reasons why I love my wife, she’ll be aware of things before me to stop me going way beyond the time. I am really like […]
Read More ThankfulnessSome people have a problem with heroes. I don’t have a problem with it. This morning whilst minding my own business – honest – I came across information that apparently earlier this year Batman celebrated 75 years of existence. Growing up my brother and I loved super heroes. We collected some of the comic books, […]
Read More Having HeroesThe month of November. This has been a very interesting month. I set out to do a number of things over the month especially to do with Bible Study and I am grateful to God that I was able to accomplish them.

After all, he has been outlining the importance of faith in the Son, living in the Son, accepting the testimony about Jesus Christ being the […]
Read More The Love Letter of John: 5 – How To Avoid IdolatryA song. I am very grateful for today. I often say Thursday is the best day of the week and today really lived up to the billing. I delivered a training session with people and felt it was worthwhile – which is not always the case. I felt it was consistently sufficient for it s […]
Read More Grateful For … (19)Faith in God is based on who God is. The phrase ‘God is love’ is so short and simple, yet so easy to misunderstand. John, who stresses this aspect of who God is, helps us to find both how that love is expressed and the consequence of that love. As God is love, we see […]
Read More The Love Letter Of John: 4 – First LoveTalent. One of the things that get me excited a great deal is seeing people identify their gift and then apply themselves to making the most of it. Recently I came across a friend of mine who is a photographer. I love his work, he’s a talented photographer and seeing him at work is such […]
