There is a reason why God has made it clear that this Christian pathway is not a solo journey. There are reasons, but one in particular became very clear to me recently. I was going through some really difficult decisions to be made, and I was honest enough to understand I needed help. My wife […]
Read More Working It Out By FaithEven when I was growing up in church, there were some words used that I did not understand. I heard the words used a lot, but had no idea what they meant. Short words like ‘glory’ and then some bigger words. A word like sanctification. Now, with no disrespect meant to those who attended the […]
Read More Defining SanctificationRecently I wrote a glowing tribute to thanksgiving, rating the activity as something admirable and worth enjoying. In the interests of fairness, and because as timing has it, after I was so happy, I was sent to a significant low, it’s worth sharing how I celebrate God in bad times. Sometimes events appear to conspire […]
Read More Celebrating God In Bad TimesI am very grateful to God for journeying mercies. From back in childhood, whenever we travelled in the car from location to the next, there was always gratitude for God allowing us to get to our desired destination. It was not always easy, but the mere fact that we got to where we going was […]
Read More Prayer of Thanks for Journeying MerciesThe nature of the life we lead can often be very demanding. Responsibilities require energy to carry them out. Loving people is not done without expending something of yourself in it. That takes a toll. This is why it was a genius part of the human set-up to require a number of hours of sleep […]

Today I stood with others in a church service as the efforts of the servicemen who died in the major wars of the last century were remembered. I was informed by the leader of the service, that these people made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Yesterday I was […]
Read More For Our FreedomYesterday you’d have noted I posted a verse from.the second letter of Peter. Here’s where I was coming from. It started with a conversation I held recently. I like the guy. I don’t know him that well. We met a few weeks ago. He could hold a decent conversation, which is always useful. He’s a […]
Read More How Now Shall We Live? An ExplanationA few years ago I wrote about Greater Is He with the Crabb Family music video of the same name. I love how music is a great source that helps remind me of spiritual truths. I need the reminding as well – something I wrote about in the older piece. On this occasion it was […]
Read More GreaterI am a home body. I love home. I love the familiarity, the warmth, the family, the routine, the safety, the sense of being enclosed from outside forces. I love it. It is something I look forward to returning to after a day’s work. My recent history has seen us move houses and locations fairly […]
Read More Sometimes You Have To Go OutsideThe thing about eternity is that it has no start and no ending. The thing about a relationship with the Eternal One is that in spote of the beginning and end, it always serms that the ends are never final and even the beginnings started earlier. Imagine being at that eternal dance before time began, […]
