For by now I could have put out my hand and struck you and your people with pestilence, and you would have been cut off from the earth. But for this purpose I have raised you up, to show you my power, so that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth. (Exodus 9:15-16 ESV) […]
Read More Exodus Extracts 09 – Set Up On PurposeGo and gather the elders of Israel together and say to them, ‘The Lord , the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, “I have observed you and what has been done to you in Egypt, and I promise that I will bring you […]
Read More Exodus Extracts 03 – I Will Part 1There are things that bother me and I get caught up with it sometimes. This week for example, there’s a football club doing poorly, so they sack the manager. No problem there, that’s the decision that should be taken when the club is not doing well. What gets bandied about, however, is how some of […]
Read More Who Is It For?It makes things a lot easier to know what the purpose of life is. Being assured of that from the earliest part of life saves heartache and grief later. So when we embrace what it is to belong to God, questions of purpose turn into commitment to life lived for the purpose of highlighting who […]
Read More I Am His: Statement of PurposeWork, job, career, occupation, something to do. This weekend I was reminded that to be able to work is not a curse, it’s a blessing.

One of the reassuring things about having good people in my life is they […]
Read More Thank God for … PurposeI love watching interviews. Good interviews, mind you. I like the set up of the interviewer getting things from the person being interviewed. I love the dialogue that takes place from time to time. It’s particularly good when it’s not just a set up for an entertainment perspective. Where the things being divulged are insightful, […]
Read More Engaging In The ConversationThen the Lord God formed a man[c]from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. (Genesis 2:7, 8) I am sitting […]
Read More Genesis: 2 – FormedLegacy. It’s an interesting word and concept and today of all days I am grateful for it. I am by gifting, desire, heart yearning, talent and predisposition a teacher. I enjoy related terms for it that have been job titles for me – trainer, tutor, development support officer, life coach, etc. I love the flexibility […]
Read More Grateful For … (6)Church is boring. I’ve heard it before and scratching the surface here’s what’s really being said. Every time we gather, what we do appeals to some, but it doesn’t appeal to me. The response then is to jazz things up regarding what we do when we gather. It veers towards being more entertaining than edifying. […]
