Feeling like you’ve got it all in control is a remarkable feeling. It’s the sort of feeling that allows you to go on holiday with greatly reduced stress. It’s the sort of feeling that allows you to go shopping without being concerned as to whether or not you’ll not have enough to cover it. It’s […]
Read More Finding Sufficiency In InadequacyPraying is very good. In prayer we communicate with God and He communicates with us. There we can pour our hearts out to Him. Pour out our worries, pour out our cares, pour out our love and pour out our praises. It really is quite something. There is the issue, however, of sometimes asking God […]
Read More Who Is Faithful?The church is meant to be a community. It’s meant to be a gathering of those called out from the world to proclaim to the world the amazing good news of Jesus. How we proclaim that is as much by out relationships as anything else. So we have Jesus in John 17 making a heartfelt […]
Read More Love for the LonelyThere is a reason why God has made it clear that this Christian pathway is not a solo journey. There are reasons, but one in particular became very clear to me recently.

Over the years I’ve understood that this practice is very limiting in its capacity to bring about the real joy of […]
Read More Finding The FaithfulThis video is the inspiration for this post. The key was the part where David Stephens contrasts what faith is as opposed to what presumption is. The whole section of the necessity for God to initiate faith, rather than my presumption starting something and expecting God to show up was a splendid and refreshing reminder […]
Read More Suffering From Spiritual TinnitusIn his letter to the church in Ephesus – a letter I rather enjoy reading – Paul informs the readers/listeners among other things that they are seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. You ever thought about what that means? If not, it’s worth considering what on earth – or in heaven – Paul means […]
Read More Getting Some Perspective On Our PositionI had something prepared for the beginning of this post, but as I was about to type I listned to the dramtised version of 2 Samuel 1. You should check it out on BibleGateway. It fits in well with this piece. 1 Samuel has ended with the death of King Saul. 2 Samuel starts with […]
Read More A Life Aflame: About IntensityFrom the start I must stress sometjing about me. I am not someone who believes all paths lead to truth. Appealing though the approach may be to those who wish to reconcile the diversity of deeply held religious and spiritual convictions, Truth itself, I believe is expressed in the life and mission of Jesus Christ.
