What I like is when people advise you to be careful when you pull on that thread. That’s not blatantly telling you not to pull on that thread. It’s just a word of advice to be careful when you pull on that thread. What thread is that? It’s that thread that begins when that question […]
Read More Be Careful When You Pull On That ThreadYou could get the impression from some that a holy and pious life before God does not include questioning Him. You might get the impression from some that a faithful and fruitful life in God will accept everything that happens without any recourse. Habakkuk is here, thankfully, to reassure us that those impressions are not […]
Read More MWTM: Habakkuk Part 1 – Questioning GodThere are times when I’ve come across comments about the way things have worked in a given place. It has made me wonder, though, what if all the criticism misses the point? What if the system is actually working perfectly fine? What if the results that are being experienced are the ones that the system […]
Read More A Few Questions About Life and SystemsYou will never know until you ask. My firstborn daughter and I were having a conversation. During that conversation she asked some questions. When she heard the answers, she asked some more questions. when she heard those answers she asked some more questions. Then she stopped, because she felt she was irritating me with the […]

Read More Silencing the SchemersI was just having a look at some of the things I wrote five years ago. There was this piece I put together about some Jesus questions.

Read More More Jesus QuestionsTrust is a massive concept. It’s amazing seeing how that changes in the years of development of a baby to an infant to a teenager. The dependent baby has no questions. The infant may have a question. The teenager … I applaud the parents that have teenagers that don’t question whether overtly or otherwise. Well […]
Read More Do You Know What You’re Doing?The posts I write on here have the ending “For His Name’s Sake”. That tagline is written because I endeavour to make sure what I write on here is for the sake of the name of God. To me it doesn’t have to be overly deep and serious for His Name’s Sake.

Read More Is Church Like Business As Usual?My life is based on questions. The answers given to these questions are interesting, especially when they are investigated closely.
