It’s a challenge to say that there are certain things that are right or wrong absolutely. It takes one person to differ and with enough intellect, passion and intensity for any statement to be considered as strong but not applicable to all. It happens in all spheres of life including church. In it all is […]
Read More Grace and HolinessHe must have disappointed some. They were expecting someone to roll in and overthrow the oppressive political regime of the day. They wanted him to establish the throne back as it was in the old days. They longed for that. They longed for the good old days of glory, glory Israel. But no. Instead he […]
Read More It’s Not How Things Are Usually DoneAll of life is about God. That’s a lesson I keep learning just in case I think there’s an avenue untouched by the reality of Him. On this occasion I was busy minding my own business. Literally. My business among other things involves delivering Health & Safety training. That involves showing the Bradford Stadium Fire […]
Read More What To Do About InjusticeI used to get hung up on finding the right balance. Being a husband, a Dad, a brother, an employee, a trainer, a civilian and all the other hats and responsibilities I had would be rather demanding. Especially considering the amount of things required with each responsibility. It would be very easy to get sucked […]
Read More More About Focus Than BalanceWhat kind of Messiah is that? He’s knocking about with those tax collectors and sinners – eating and drinking with them. I think I just saw him laugh at one of their jokes. Does this man not know who he’s dealing with? What’s that? Zacchaeus??? He’s going to have a meal with that fraud? At his […]
Read More Getting His Hands Mucky: Doesn’t He Know Who He’s Dealing With?I can be incredibly insensitive. It might because of those times where I am deeply self-absorbed and all I am interested in is me. I can get that way and end up doing things and saying things that hurt others. As well as being self-absorbed, it can also come out of taking loved ones for […]
Read More So InsensitiveI like the timing of certain things. As you’ll recall earlier I was looking at 2 Peter 2 which encouraged folks to beware of those who are false prophets and false teachers deceiving folks. It also talked about a number of incidents where God rescued a few from a wicked environment. In a completely unrelated […]
Read More The Fight For RightSo the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.” But Noah found favour in the eyes of the Lord. This is the account of […]
Read More Genesis: 6 – Character against CorruptionWhen people think of politicians, journalists and similar professions, the thoughts are not always positive. Indeed there can be a somewhat cynical view of those either in authority or who are meant to be reporting on those in authority. The cynicism comes from the experience of how power corrupts and the pursuit of power can […]
Read More When Righteousness RulesNeutrality is a wonderful idea. The thought that you’re not involved in either side and will not be drawn to pick sides, but maintain a position beyond the fray has its merits. It’s a lovely idea because it is there to give people an out from something they’d prefer to avoid. Neutrality, however, is not […]
