The church is meant to be a community. It’s meant to be a gathering of those called out from the world to proclaim to the world the amazing good news of Jesus. How we proclaim that is as much by out relationships as anything else. So we have Jesus in John 17 making a heartfelt […]
Read More Love for the LonelyThere’s this thing called the remnant mentality. In this thinking a sect of the church claims to have the full rights on God’s revealed truth in His Word. They have it. They know it. If anyone seeks to tell them otherwise then it only highlights how they are a part of a dangerous and misguided […]
Read More Doing Business With People Who Want To Do Jesus BusinessIt’s very easy to be critical. Very easy. I’m a master at the art. If I stick around something long enough and I can carefully go about showing just how bad the thing is. Over the years I’ve understood that this practice is very limiting in its capacity to bring about the real joy of […]
Read More Finding The FaithfulCarry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfil the law of Christ. (Galatians 6:2) There is something about this verse that has huge consequences for how we relate with brothers and sisters in Christ. It’s also got to impact how we spend our time with each other. For Paul to say that this […]
Read More Carrying Each Other’s BurdensThere are some parts of scripture that are not easy to read. What makes them so challenging to read is because they are so rich and heavy with detail. Such is the attention to detail that you cannot just read it as you would a piece of narrative. For example Exodus is exciting for the […]
Read More A Radiant RelationshipTwo things to start this entry. In a few short days’ time Dr. Who will celebrate its 50th anniversary. Also it’s my birthday today. Now the connection between the two won’t see me go all fan-loving on Dr. Who. It’s there for a reason. In the latest edition of Dr. Who Magazine, the programme showrunner, […]
Read More A Time For Now To Look Back And Look AheadI saw a friend today who I haven’t seen in a few years. We hugged like long lost loving brothers. He is such a beautiful man and I have nothing but good memories and good things to say about him. What makes me love him so much, among other things, is that he brings out […]
Read More The Beauty That Encourages BeautyThis post acts as a complimentary piece to one I wrote earlier stating that You Have A Voice. One of the things I enjoy about the gathering I frequent is that because there is no ‘official’ leader our times together are marked by as many members contributing as possible. This is not the norm for […]
Read More You Have A Pair Of EarsMinistry is an interesting concept in thought and practice. The model of ‘ministry’ I saw growing up consisted of the main man having to be bi-vocational as there wasn’t enough income to make him a ‘full-time’ minister. So they had the week job, then come church day, they’d have to roll out the main event […]
Read More Family & Community: Ministry MattersIt has not always been easy to live by faith. In fact thinking about it, I cannot recall a time where it has consistently been easy living by faith. What I can say is that despite my capacity to forget things, and sometimes take God for granted, He provides opportunities to be reminded about what […]
