This follows the last entry looking at the lessons learnt whilst on a walk. 1. Though The Sun Shines Now It Won’t Always Shine But … I appreciate that I live among people who love the sun. I can understand why they love the sun, seeing as though it is not a regular part of […]
Read More Lessons Learnt On A Walk – Part TwoI thank God for peacemakers and I think they take on shapes, forms and professions. I was thinking about the point of doctors and nurses (representing the entirety of the medical profession). I think it’s a natural off-shoot of placing business concerns on the medical profession that the ethos of professions like being a doctor […]
Read More Blessed Are The Peacemakers: Doctors and NursesI mentioned earlier on this week that among all the things covered in church life, one that rarely gets a proper look is the responsibility of man to God’s creation. Whether you buy into the reasons for climate change, it’s not unrealistic to acknowledge that many of the way’s God’s creation is treated by man […]
Read More Peace … with CreationIt’s good news right. We – created by God and rebelled against God have now been brought back to God by the ministry of Jesus Christ culminating in His death and amazing resurrection. This brings peace between God and us. This brings inner peace. Then it gives a peace between members of the family of […]
Read More Peace … with others (not yet in the Family)The Problem With People: A Personal Perspective Getting on with people isn’t that easy. Although I was brought up in a church environment, I found it very hard to get to know people. This was made harder realising people put on masks to avoid being authentic and vulnerable.

As the child gets older there tends to be a crossroads where there is a grasp for some sense of identity. All of life’s issues can swirl around in the mind and lead to a sense […]
Read More Peace … with MyselfOpening Thoughts Where is all this coming from? Well I give an introduction this mini-series here. As well as that, it’s important to point out the book I was reading that inspired it. Howard Snyder’s Kingdom Lifestyle mentioned this and it is not the first time I’ve come across the role of the ministry of […]
Read More Peace … with GodI’m at the place where I can say this. There was a time, not long ago, when I was completely put off from church. I am not talking about those occasional off days you get when for some reasons things haven’t quite clicked and you’re left with a feeling that it’s not good. I am […]
Read More Disillusioned and Reinvigorated: Introducing A Brief Series on PeaceOne of the things I’m delighted about concerning God is that this script that’s being played out and His plan is not plan B. I’m glad that this isn’t a contingency measure. I’m glad that it was part of the plan and there has been no deviation to the plan and whatever happens there will […]
Read More I Reckon We Can Be ReconciledI get down sometimes. Part of the reason for quoting scriptures like the joy of the Lord is my strength and rejoice in the Lord always and again I say rejoice, is because sometimes I don’t feel like rejoicing and sometimes I don’t experience joy. Listening to songs like this as well remind me of […]
