I have no idea what it is this year about the movies. In the first quarter there were a few things that got my interest, but really since then the choice of films on offer has been somewhat substandard.

Read More Seeking in SurrogatesAs you can appreciate in preparation for the new study series that begins next week I’ve begun reading the Sermon on the Mount. I am big on not missing out on the big picture and the connected nature of all the pieces in the puzzle when we start segmenting scripture for teaching purposes. It is […]
Read More Seeking in the Sermon: Live It – Teach ItSo just to remind you we’re in a brief four part excursion from the main series on fasting. Connections will be made later on. What triggered this off was a sequence of thoughts and events on Tuesday that compelled me to write this series on nothing personal. In the last entry I shared my journey […]
Read More Nothing Personal Part 2Deliverance. The boy bullied at school needs it; the girl facing abuse at home needs it; the young man constantly criticised by friends needs it; the addict struggling to stay clean needs it; the business in the downturn needs it; the community threatened by loss needs it; the family on the brink of eviction need […]

Read More John Piper – Where are the Faithful Young Men?Piper again hits home with some concerns about the tendency to go with the next big thing and not match it to the reality of how that affects our day to day life. It’s something that I am challenged with constantly in ensuring my faith is connected to my daily walk and my daily walk […]
Read More John Piper – The Achillies’ Heel of the Next GenerationOne of the key points in developing on the theme of the previous post is listening. I appreciate coming across material that makes me listen and think and respond in one way or another and the work of Jim McClarty definitely does that. It’s not about agreeing with him on everything, it’s about enjoying hearing […]
Read More Faith Is A Gift – Pastor Jim McClartyIt’s just been one of those nights where I’ve come across so many classic tunes it’s been an effort to keep track of them. Almost as though they’ve started popping up all over YouTube. I am not complaining at all as they have been a great support for me during this prayer season and I’m […]
