Lots of noise, lots of drama, lots of emotion. People can really feel the passion and there is no questioning the level of intent that comes across in what they say. They really mean it. They really mean well for the Lord. For the Lord. The Lord. Lord. There is reference to His love and […]
Read More To Obey Is Better Than SacrificeIf my life is better now than it was before, it is down to the grace of God. By that I mean, there’s a great kindness of God that I have experienced in life. A kindness that I still recognise to this has absolutely nothing to do with me in terms of anything I’ve done […]
Read More Here I Am, Send MeWe were talking about a scenario. A leader of a Christian gathering decided to disguise himself as a beggar and see how the congregation treated him. As it transpired the congregants on the whole either ignored and dismissed him or worse actively shunned him and hoped he would stay out of any prominent place. When […]
Read More My Eyes Are DryApparently nobody wants to be gullible. It’s good to be smart and not fall for anything. At the same time, though, in that bid to stay ahead of the pack and not fall for anything, there’s also a move towards cynicism that suggests it’s not good to stand for anything … other than an approach […]

That appointment does not have to be about a scheduled meeting at a particular time. It can be about the arranged character and conduct at a given time in a given […]
Read More Flawed, Forgiven and FlourishingGod is really good to me. Whatever kind of day I have, however exhilarating or deflating, I can always come home to my wife. That has not always been a pleasant thought for me, but reflecting on the completion of fifteen years of marital union, it’s one of the best thoughts that makes work worthwhile. […]
Read More What About Year Sixteen?They told us that we were celebrating the crystal anniversary. Obviously that got me asking the question: What is a crystal?

Read More Year Fifteen – What’s A Crystal?True strength can be experienced when we acknowledge we have no strength at all. People can go through experiences and emerge from it.
