Love or fear. Generosity as a characteristic is incredibly attractive. Something I’ve noticed is that generosity is not based on material goods. Some of the most generous people I have come across would not be classed as rich in most people’s eyes. Yet they were never in lack and hardly ever in a place of […]
Read More What Kind Of Man Are You? In Pursuit Of LoveJesus said the greatest commandment was to love God and love your neighbour. He said that was the greatest commandment. Later his beloved friend John helped us recognise how they are the greatest commandment by essentially saying we could not do one without the other. What Jesus said was based on something that Moses had […]
Read More The Greatest Commandment (14): Love Is All You NeedI did it to protect you. I didn’t want to hurt you, so I felt it was the best thing to do. I didn’t think you could cope with it, so I didn’t tell you at the time. I didn’t want you to feel let down so I had to couch it in a way […]
Read More The Greatest Commandment (12): The Truth for LoveThere is something about loving the other that does not look to take from the other person without permission. That very desire to take without permission says something about the sense of contentment experienced. This is why it remains the believer’s massive challenge not to take from others but find contentment in what has already […]
Read More The Greatest Commandment (11): Commitment to ContentmentDo we really value human life? There is enough incendiary material on the issue of abortion, infanticide, capital punishment and euthanasia to keep a fire stoked for a lifetime.

If you asked me who is the greatest footballer at the moment and I said Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, you would inform me that I haven’t answered the question. Which is the greatest. If you asked me about the greatest boxer of all time and I said […]
Read More The Greatest Commandment (6): The Second is Like the FirstWe have a funny way of showing love. I know some parents who worked every hour possible to earn as much as they could in an effort to provide the material requirements their loved ones needed to survive and hopefully thrive. As a cost of that the time they actually spent with their loved ones […]

Read More Hello November – A Dryden UpdateThere can be only one. Wandering eyes. It doesn’t take much anymore and the reality remains to a degree we are all susceptible. It doesn’t have to be about people, it’s all about loyalty in the things that matter. You can be on a good thing and all of a sudden a suggestion or two […]
Read More The Greatest Commandment (3): Love God … You Will Have No Other GodsPeter believed that love was essential to knowing Jesus. It was the crowning quality essential in knowing Jesus.
