It is so annoying. Why do they have to behave like that. They are so childish. They surely must know that how they’re carrying on is so stupid and counterproductive. How do they expect anyone to stay in an environment like this? No wonder the company are in the mess that it’s in. It deserves […]
Read More Show MercyGoing through the minor prophets gives me an appreciation for how important it is to feel and hear the heart of God in relating to His people. There’s a kind of mentality in approaching the Old and New Testament. It gives the impression of a more kind and caring fatherly God in the New Testament […]
Read More Love and JudgementThe book of Nahum is not the first book to read for words of optimism, brightness and delight. It is however an important book to read to get reassurance that brutal and oppressive regimes and situations will not last. It’s worth considering these things from all perspectives and within that there should be some hope […]
Read More MWTM: Nahum Part 2 – Ironic JusticeGod will have His way and his way is marvellous. That’s what I get reading aspects of Micah.

It’s also interesting what tends to be promoted often during those times. […]
Read More Justice: One Way or the OtherIt makes some scratch their heads in bewilderment. It was clear, as long as he didn’t tell anyone where his strength came from, he’d be fine. He got into a relationship and his girl wanted to know and after he teased her for a while and she wore him down with nagging, he gave up […]
Read More What Did You Expect?It is truly sobering to note how often in the Scripture, those called by God can miss out, because of a vision problem. The children of Israel who witnessed God deliver them from slavery miraculously, missed out on entering the Promised Land because they preferred to see the land and its inhabitants as too big […]
Read More Do My Eyes Deceive Me?Have you ever had one of those … interesting conversations? I was wondering how our mutual friend was doing. For the next ten minutes a diatribe was outlined to me of the things that our mutual friend was doing wrong. I was really getting it in terms of just how poorly this person was doing. […]
Read More Mercy-Filled Relationships: An InsightOf the things that Jesus teaches, one of the hardest to swallow is what he says about enemies and retaliation.
