There were only three of us. We don’t really know each other that well, but have something in common in following Jesus Christ. We were looking at the section of 1 Corinthians covering chapters 12 to 14. Reading that together and exploring aspects of it – what it meant, what the consequences were in our […]
Read More Reminder To Grow Up – A Study ExperienceI love reading what Kathleen has to say over at Church in a Circle. Learning to enjoy the diversity in the Body of Christ continues to be something I get stimulated by. As I’ve mentioned in highly recommending her blog, Kathleen produces articles that are not just for tickling the intellectual taste-buds, but actually lead […]
Read More Take For Example …I really commend the importance of working in teams. As a loner – although that status is under growing scrutiny – I certainly still enjoy my own company. I get on well with me, and often find myself to be the most riveting of associates. (Did you know I am really funny, I never knew […]
Read More In Praise Of TeamsIt was sad to watch. He was earnest enough and wanted to get his point across. He employed the techniques he’d seen from others and was successful at getting a reaction from the audience. People even approached him afterwards and said they enjoyed what they heard.

This is meant to address how something glaringly obvious is sometimes overlooked or ignored despite its prominence. When delivering sessions and working on a one to one basis with individuals, sometimes this condition is more than apparent. For example someone who has a […]
Read More The Little Thing and the Obvious ThingI am a loner. My preference has been my own company. Even with a beautiful family of a loving wife and three really awesome daughters, I don’t always love spending every minute of my time with them. Despite being a loner, however, the love of God compels me again to understand that I am nothing […]
Read More What I Love About Church: FellowshipDecember is an interesting month as far as I am concerned. Of course it’s not the best month of the year. That indisputably goes to its predecessor, November. Yet in December the following significant events took place in my life. 1999 – This was the time when I had a ground-breaking, life-changing encounter with the […]
Read More Introducing Bletchley LessonsI like learning. I like teaching. I consider myself to be a bit of an inquisitive person. I do not necessarily take what I am given as if it were all there was to it. I certainly do not always trust what I’ve been given initially. I like to understand it through questioning it. It […]
