Kingdom. Mission. Discipleship. Community. Family. These are very important. To succeed in these areas at all is not just about the personality. It’s not just about the individual. It’s not just about that person at the front. It’s about the interdependent connections. It’s about the husband and the wife together. It’s about the parents and […]
Read More It Will Take A TeamAnd Miriam sang to them: “Sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.” And the people grumbled against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?” (Exodus 15:21, 24 ESV) People are fickle. You have just witnessed the act of the mighty forces of the super […]
Read More Exodus Extracts 15 – Praise & GrumbleThis is another of those ‘they mean well’ situations. There may be some who deliberately make it that way, but I’m fairly sure most people are unaware of it. What I am referring to is the token gesture. Now even by that, back in the day offering a token of your appreciation was more often […]
Read More Not A Token GestureYou shall say, ‘It is the sacrifice of the Lord ’s Passover, for he passed over the houses of the people of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians but spared our houses.’” And the people bowed their heads and worshipped.

Read More Exodus Extracts 12 – Meal of DeliveranceIt’s funny. I used to think I was a loner. Then I discovered I was a loner who needed to not be alone.

It’s more than a physical connection. The connection is also there as the father notes the child that is a product of him and what has come from […]
Read More Connect and DisconnectI can’t empathise the plight of being a woman. The journey of understanding the female gender I quickly understood has to be taken with one female at a time. Even that journey is … fascinating and subject to change. It doesn’t make matters easy with men. After all, as we know, people are just weird. […]
Read More BrothersWhen I was growing up in Wellingborough during Sunday night church service there was space for something called testimonies. It was later I discovered that it was really meant to be a time to give a brief description of an event experienced that showed God’s goodness in your life. That was the intent. Of all […]
Read More YIR15 – 11 – Red Flags and Provision In The Nick Of TimeOne of the highlights of the year was a gathering of folks somewhere in Derbyshire in the middle of June. Companionship and the sense of being on mission together was something that was really impressed on me. Seeing the group of people from different backgrounds but with the same heart to pursue what God has […]
Read More YIR15 – 06 – Getting TogetherThings got real interesting in March. There are circles and situations that I find myself in where things take place about me and around me, but I am usually the last one to know about it.
