I love the music of Jon Gibson. Not everything he’s ever done, but he’s done a lot that I regard highly. For sure he doesn’t get the plaudits he deserves for his brilliant musicianship, but that’s cool. As long as he knows he’s a blessing to the Body of Christ that’s all that matters. Recently […]
Read More Layers for a MasterpieceCalling ten of his servants, he gave them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Engage in business until I come.’ (Luke 19:13 ESV) Since he was 12 years old, Jesus was aware that he should be about his Father’s business.

Read More We Are Servants: Our Transformed Identity from Caesar KalinowskiYeah, this is the entry you have been waiting for. I am sick and tired of the rampant corruption manifesting in so many different areas of society. Easy to point to the political realm. Easy to refer to those countries with corruption rife.

Read More What To Do About CorruptionWe are different. What we do about this is the challenging issue of yesterday and today. What has happened historically is that those differences have been used against us. Difference used to divide and as it does it leaves fragments. We live fragmented lives with cosmetic appeals to wholeness through shared experiences in consumer goods […]
