A group of us are making our way through the books of Kings. At present we’re looking at 2 Kings 3. I’m a big fan of prophets because of their tendency to be against the grain. What I find interesting is how Elisha is described: And Jehoshaphat said, “Is there no prophet of the Lord […]
Read More Pouring Water On The HandsI grew up very attached to my home. The physical home and my family was something I grew very comfortable with, to the extent I never really wanted to be anywhere else for too long.

The state of your bank account, the things you haven’t done, relational demands, work deadlines and targets, the list goes on. Sometimes those pressures push us just to think the worst.

Read More In The Light Of ContextMy upbringing gave me the impression that church gatherings were about excitement and noise. God was with us when our emotions were stirred. Truly the Spirit was moving if people were shouting hallelujah, people were crying and whoever was preaching/singing was encouraged to do an encore. If I didn’t feel buzzed up after a meeting […]

Fascinating books highlighting the rise and fall of initially the United Kingdom of Israel before its split into the Northern tribes of Israel and the Southern tribes of Judah.
