Two incidents took place recently that got me thinking about how Jesus impacts our lives in ways we don’t appreciate. I work with those in the 16-18 age bracket who are looking for help getting a job. I run a number of workshops geared at raising awareness of jobsearch methods and encouraging the learners to […]
Read More Intensity: Once More With FeelingOh Christopher – provocative title to bring in the readers eh? How cheap can you go! There is a reason for it. Scripture suggests that there is something that appears impossible for man but is more than possible with God. Hold that thought as I take you through some context. ESPN show a series of […]
Read More Safe Christianity SucksFor what I’m about to write I hope it is received in a spirit of thoughtfulness and love. The years of cruel rule had to come to an end and in the most dramatic way, a nation emerged and the world from then on would never be the same. I am of course referring to […]
Read More Independence or Liberation: Raining on the ParadeUsually at this time (4:50am) I am still asleep. I do like waking up early, but not too early or I’ll go to bed at a crazy early time as well which works in winter, not so much in summer. So it takes something for me to not only arise early from my slumbers but […]
Read More And Life More AbundantlyI was considering today some of the people God specifically put to save my life. Let me qualify that. Jesus first and foremost on Calvary saved me completely – saved me from the ultimate fate worse than death and for that I hope to express my eternal gratitiude from this time onwards. Other than Jesus […]
Read More Who Has Saved Your LifeI started watching Christian TV again, recently. I say again because I’ve not watched it for a few years now as I was put off by some presentations of what the Christian faith is all about as promulgated on these channels. I could not be bothered having to waste time looking for a programme on […]
Read More When Christianity Becomes Self-HelpSometimes life as a Christian can be performance-based. Especially in the type of churches that recognise a need to be more lively and participatory there can almost be schizophrenic approach to faith. I know because it’s a struggle I went through especially during my years at university. There are the things to be said and […]
Read More Beware The DisconnectNot only does Chandler hit a home run with getting people into what is sin and our position before God, but the dude who put together the audio and visual aspects of this video together also hits a home run with the quality of it. Worth viewing and contemplating – twice, at least. For His […]
Read More Sermon Jam: Because He Is GoodThe church is like a constitutional monarchy, where Jesus is allowed the title, but has no authority to make any decisions. (A.W. Tozer as quoted in Simple Church by Tony and Felicity Dale – p 25.) The book I’ve just started provided the quote for today’s blog entry. It was through the usual connections (King […]
Read More Who’s the Boss: Jesus Is Lord … On A Constitutional BasisUseful video that my friend (can I call him that?) and brother in Christ Arthur posted a couple of months ago. Still worth engaging with the basic issues it seeks to address as people still look to honour God, follow Christ and serve others for the sake of the gospel. For His Name’s Sake Shalom […]
