Mission Time
There is something exhilarating and stimulating about being on a mission. When my life was a routine of just doing things and getting cheap kicks out it, I can truly say life was very dull. I have discovered that having money and the stuff it buys works for some at some level, but overall the […]

A while ago a group of us looked at Genesis 1 and considered what things we find out about God in it. When we finished the study, we were all amazed at how much about who God is and what He does is expressed in that first chapter of the Bible. The first chapter of […]

It’s a pity that people make the mission of God something that is the domain only of religious experts and professionals. There is much to be said for realising that following Jesus is an invitation to go places with God and experience life on mission … For His Name’s Sake Shalom C. L. J. Dryden

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. (Matthew 5:9) I love the good news, because among other things it is about bringing things together.

Funny how things work out. Back in the early years of my walk in the Christian pathway, any interest in doing actual good works of service to people in community was minimal. By minimal, I’m probably being very kind to myself. Love was a nice concept in theory, but didn’t need to interfere with the […]

It’s been quite the personal journey into joy of the communion. It’s worth remembering where we’ve been. The prologue outlined the deal in the meal. The first part proper gave insight into my beginnings, whilst the second part gave the seeds to the change that was a coming. The third part showed the awakening that […]
