Recently I asked the question, how should we work together? Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. (Ephesians 5:21) This is an interesting verse. It’s interesting because it finds itself after Paul’s encouragements to the church to behave as children of light in recognition to what Jesus has done. It also comes in just […]

Read More What About Working TogetherThe connections in my brain to issues are strange. A football manager gets sacked, I’m reminded of a song about a Grandfather’s Clock and then I’m thinking about the importance of letting things go. If you can make a straight line through those three points, perhaps you need to see someone about that. Let me […]
Read More Sometimes Things Must DieWhen I was walking home one evening, I turned the corner to the street where my home is located. As I got closer to my house I was struck by the number 12. I don’t mean that literally of course. It’s not as though a figure representation of the two digits assaulted my physically. I […]

Read More It’s Better Growing TogetherRecently I was reminded that the basis of good living is to know it, live it and teach others to do the same. Reflecting on any progress I’ve made in life, I’ve noticed these have tended to take place when I’m in the company of others who mean to progress. As they live it and […]
Read More Know It Live ItWhoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy. (Proverbs 28:13) Growing up, I was very accustomed to a culture of concealment. People showed what they wanted to show to keep up appearances. In church gatherings people had no problems doing the praises and hand waving and all that stuff. […]
Read More Confess Or ConcealAs iron sharpens iron,so one person sharpens another. Proverbs 27:17 This is not going to be a long one. (To which the crowd go wild.)
