Selfishness is suffocating. It feels good. There’s a degree of gratification in it. There’s even a thrill to it. Yet it stifles and restricts. It is not the true path to the fullness that life has to offer. This is why you need the love. Not just love – the love. The love that destroys […]
Read More Dryden Shorts: Why You Need The LoveLoving the word of God is not natural. The more I reflect on the matter and recall observations about people’s engagement with the word of God the more I’m convinced. Indeed, I am someone who considers himself to be a lover of words and am a somewhat voracious consumer of words. Yet when it comes […]
Read More Loving the WordYou can’t afford to be vulnerable. If you are then someone sees that as weakness. Not only that others will see that as juicy morsels for gossip. Lots of speculation and analysis on the vulnerability which is not about building character and supporting growth – it’s purely for entertainment and often that smug sense of […]
Read More The Protective Armour: When You Can’t Afford To Be VulnerableOne of the things I like about blogs and podcasts is the ability to check the archives. I’ve been on a really extensive enjoyment of podcasts in recent months. I feel late to the party, but that’s not unusual. There are podcasts that I prefer to listen to the latest episodes, but some have me […]

Read More A Gathering: Here’s An IdeaMeans of communication. They’re quite something these days. Send a tweet. Post a photo on Insta. Do whatever it is you’re meant to do on Snapchat (I leave that to my daughters). There’s still sending an email or connecting via video message. I hear there are still people who send letter through the post. As […]
Read More If You Love The CallerIn my mind, we can conquer the world. In love you and I. You and I. You. And. I. Stevie Wonder penned those words to reflect a romantic relationship. I hear you saying that to your bride, Israel. I hear Jesus saying that to His bride the Church of the Living God. And I know […]
Read More We Can Conquer The World: A Prayerful ReflectionDear Jesus, I love you. You are my friend and it is my honour to be known as a friend of yours. It is an honour to also see what you do for your friends. How you lay your life down for your friends, how you pick up your life for your friends so that […]
Read More Jesus, My Friend: A Prayerful ReflectionAre you with me? I am a big fan of that question. If there’s anything that life teaches me is that it’s good to know who you’re with and who’s with you. It’s a real shame to claim to be a part of something only to discover that you were completely deluded. It’s also not […]
Read More We Got Through This TogetherThis love is perfect – it’s a perfect love. Not driven by sentiment or requires soft music and appeals to the heart.
