Why Was It Written?

Ahhh come on man, it’s my favourite question to ask. Why? There could be a reason, there might be a purpose and maybe in getting to know that it will further enlighten our time of receiving what is being given. Where’s this coming from? I was just thinking about Luke’s prologue in his gospel account, […]

I Wasn’t Expecting That From …

Uncharacteristic. Interesting word, that. Often heard when someone does something that you really would not expect them to do. Often used in the negative. What I love about the gospel of Jesus Christ and indeed the entire narrative of scripture with God is how He takes those you wouldn’t expect and makes them do the […]

This Is What He Wants

This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth. For,  There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus. He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. (1 Timothy 2:3-6) It would be one of the biggest lies of my […]

To The Nations, For The Nations

Geography wasn’t a subject I was particularly interested in at school. It wasn’t a very boring subject, it just wasn’t one of those that grabbed my interest. Outside of school, though, I remember having a passing interest in maps, atlases and especially globes. I recall wandering around an atlas at the odd named places and […]

Celebrating the Gospel

The birth of a new born baby, a wedding, a wedding anniversary, a significant birthday, passing a big test, winning, achieving, being honoured and of course Thursdays – all valid reasons to celebrate. Lately, however, I found myself singing even more about the gospel of Jesus Christ. What happened at Calvary. What God achieved in […]

On The Run: The Home Run

Sometimes we get ourselves in a situation we can’t get out of. So mired in circumstances and mental conditions that coping mechanisms are all we have. In the middle of all that I am grateful that the good news is about God seeing that condition did something about it. Doing something we could never do […]
