Someone asked me to prepare to talk about the gospel with some people who had not heard it, or had not heard in a long time. It is a pleasant challenge, but one that I’m fairly familiar with, as I’m of the impression that opportunities may occur every day to engage in a conversation about […]
Read More Remember: The Good News Is Bad NewsOne of the reasons I am grateful for God in my life, is because God teaches me to love. It is not that I was unaware of love before I consciously aware of God. It is more the case that my appreciation and awareness of love is far greater as I grow in knowing what […]
Read More How God’s Grace Helps In Relational PerspectivesJust a quick reminder to inform you that God can speak to you through whoever he wants. Recently I was suffering from a significant cash-flow challenge (CD for skint). As I sat working away and coming to terms with my situation, a colleague came in and opened up a conversation about reincarnation, maths, energy, positive […]
Read More God Speaks Through Whoever He WantsI have burnt bridges in my life. I will let that sink in for a while. There have been occasions when I have experienced relatively decent opportunities but due to selfishness, pride and immaturity I have walked out of those opportunities in a negative and antagonistic way. People who treated me well, had their kindness […]
Read More Finishing Properly – Building Not Burning BridgesI am very eager to see change. Change in myself, change in my loved ones, change in those who belong to the Body of Christ and change in those yet to become a part. I am very eager indeed to witness this change. I appreciate such a change is never straightforward and all that easy. […]

I could do that, but what’s the point? Complaining hasn’t improved anything – it is actually addressing the issue that has […]
Read More Nightchurch: Doing Something Right By Sharing The LightThere is comfort in the simple things. Keeping things simple means, so the thinking goes, that we can address things just as simply. So all I want is something to eat. So as long as it’s edible and available, I eat and my hunger is satisfied. Simple. I do believe aspects of the human experience […]
Read More Reflecting On The Complexity Of HumanityIt is rather intriguing how narrow my worldview can be. I have a tendency to be fairly insular and have in the past considered myself a bit of an introvert. My recollection of childhood is one where I was familiar with the floors of many places, because I didn’t really have the confidence to look […]
Read More Embracing God’s Gifts In All Its GuisesFor what feels like years, part of the world of television advertising has been dominated by the GoCompare campaign. First you had the singing tenor dude doing his thing in various settings and then the company really latched onto the public sentiment by sending him up as a target figure for the millions who were […]
Read More Go Compare? I Don’t Think SoI was minding my own business. Honest. I wasn’t going to bother anyone about anything. My wife and first born daughter were not feeling well at all, I was on hand to serve them in as much as I could, as well as look after the two younger daughters. I was minding my own business […]
