Originally everything worked smoothly. After all that’s how he built it and everything he does, he dows well. Things were goiong really well until someone came and messed it up.

Read More God the Builder – Into RestorationThe time to be really concerned in any relationship is when one of the parties behaves in a way that shows that they no longer care. One of the beauties of the book of Zephaniah is how it displays the ongoing care of God for His people. He is not apathetic to their plight. He […]
Read More MWTM: Zephaniah Part 2 – EngagedDeep and profound, complex and multi-layered. Full of intrigue and mystical in places. Making you scratch your head and think, making you reflect on action and see just how things are. Some people look for that in their stories and that has its place. There is something, however, to be said about the simple story. […]
Read More A Simple StoryI love a good political thriller. The intrigue, the ambition, the aspiration, the connections, the soaring hopes, the corrupting, the demise, the mess and in some cases the lessons to learn that might point to some sort of redemption. Might. A lot of the political thrillers I come across don’t tend to have much in […]

The journey to get there was fascinating too. When people had talked about visiting people in prisons, he had said that it was definitely not his thing. Although he was hugely […]
Read More Into The Darkness You ShineAmong other things that makes grace amazing is how it works in two ways. First it helps us when we fall and secondly it helps us to give us what we need to not fall in the first place. One of the expressions of this grace is to give us heartfelt experiences of others who […]
Read More When You Recover Help Others RecoverRedeemed. I love it. There’s a hymn of the same title and it’s the epitome of the term ‘uplifting’. It’s a waltz kind of tune that I can literally imagine a little child being swung up by a parent and the child giggling at the fun of it. Even as the last line of the […]
Read More What The Redeemed Have To SayThe thing about redemption is that it screams out “there is hope!” Even in the worst situations where hope appears lost, the story of redemption says it’s worth holding out for hope. The theme of redemption is particularly something that means a lot to me. There are so many episodes in my life where I […]
Read More Themes I Love: RedemptionThis is a wonderful Psalm. From the crying out from the depths to the cry to Israel to put their hope in the Lord, it’s sweet and concise. One of the things I love about the Psalms is the primacy of a right relationship with God and how He initiates that in His character. I […]
