Lately I was sharing about pointing to the alternative, not long after that I was considering the privilege of pursuing the alternative. That just leaves me to conclude this brief series on the Kingdom alternative by highlighting two of its most compelling features. The peace that’s desired by so many in the world is understandable […]
Read More Peace and Permanence of the AlternativeRecently I shared about what it was to be among those pointing to the alternative when it comes to the way of the world. In that piece I shared the story of an old friend who typified those who saw faith as an additional something to the rest of life. That kind of approach is […]
Read More Pursuing the AlternativeI had the privilege to converse with an old friend recently. I came across him about 18 years ago. He is one of those guys who you can immediately love because he’s such a gently, honourable man. He is not afraid to cry for Go and he’s very sincere in his commitment to God and […]

He showed great compassion to the needy, poor and broken. He didn’t leave it there, He went on to equip others to express His compassion for others to […]
Read More Jesus Our Example Who Makes An Example Of UsI like hotel rooms. Don’t get me wrong, I like my home and there’s no place like it.

Read More Pray For Who?I must applaud my wife. Not because she’s threatening me with violence should I choose not to. I do so because she is truly a woman who gets stuck into anything she commits herself to. She watched the first episode of the new Daredevil series on Netflix and got proper stuck into the drama from […]
Read More Compelling Viewing, Compelling LivingI am comfortable not understanding everything. Even about God. Seriously. I am comfortable. It’s enough for me to make the most of the little that I know before getting greedy about looking for knowledge and understanding on everything. What I am reminded of fairly often is that even what I know should not be taken […]
Read More Tweaking ItMen and brethren, what shall we do? Do you understand what you’re reading? Here’s water, what’s stopping me getting baptised?

Read More How Now Should We Live?Son of God. Son of Man. Prince of Peace. Suffering Servant. It’s something that keeps on bugging me about the example I’m supposed to follow.
