Walking with Jesus is not always about walking in the clear. I say that as a man who has a high value on clarity. The reality is, however, there are times walking with Christ where it gets a bit foggy. Jesus is real and He cares and orders my steps. Yet I can’t always see […]
Read More As The Mist ClearsI came across this and was fascinated by it. Last year I studied to develop a series on our identity in Christ. So much of what I saw in the study is marvellously reflected in this video. Enjoy. For His Name’s Sake Shalom C. L. J. Dryden For His Name’s Sake Shalom C. L. J. […]
Read More We Are Missionaries: Our Transformed Identity from Caesar KalinowskiBelievers are the training wheels for believers. Faith in Jesus is crucial. Relying on the Holy Spirit is essential. Depending on the Father as the source is paramount. In all that, in His wisdom, to grow up to be like Him, in prayer, in fasting, in serving, in sharing, in living for the Kingdom – […]
Read More Training WheelsOne of my favourite things in scripture is the image of Jesus and the 12 disciples going about doing Kingdom business. I just love the image of Jesus praying to the Father to get insight as to who to choose and then going around picking these men. Then the image of these men following and […]
Read More Brothers On MissionOK so the Exodus Extracts series is taking place on week days and that, but there was something that I was thinking about recently.

Read More Is Church Like Business As Usual?Kingdom. Mission. Discipleship. Community. Family. These are very important. To succeed in these areas at all is not just about the personality. It’s not just about the individual. It’s not just about that person at the front. It’s about the interdependent connections. It’s about the husband and the wife together. It’s about the parents and […]
Read More It Will Take A TeamHow long would it take Jesus to outline a parable? From that parable he’d probably follow up with another parable. Either way there was enough potency in a parable to keep His followers intrigued. To the point that sometimes they would come back to Him and ask for an explanation of the parable. It’s one […]
Read More Crowds and Disciples: A Conversation PieceIt’s funny. I used to think I was a loner. Then I discovered I was a loner who needed to not be alone. Then I found myself in a situation where I was not alone but I felt a loner once more. Recently a few of my friends and I studied about relationship dynamics in […]
Read More Reflections of a LonerThis blog entry is inspired by a statement made by someone for whom my admiration has sky-rocketed over the past decade. (You know who you are, Your Majesty.)
