I find it somewhat … interesting that a man who married 700 wives and 300 concubines talks so passionately about the value of relationships. Yet the words of Solomon with regard to avoiding adultery get to the heart of why it’s so important to value relationships and value faithfulness. Look how appealing unfaithfulness is, though. […]
Read More Value of FaithfulnessMy Dad was never a very verbal man. The church used to love the rare opportunities he got to preach because although he wouldn’t be the charismatic big preacher, he would also not take long. Though he wasn’t the chatty type – my Mum more than made up for that – it was evident he […]
Read More Following Dad’s InstructionsI needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ – Matthew 25:36 Of late I’ve been challenged about the power of the indwelling Spirit of God. God’s presence in and through us makes a huge difference in the lives […]
Read More Presence PowerJesus and the Pharisees. It’s fair to say they were not the best of friends. It’s also fair to say Jesus did not have a problem expressing what his problem was with the Pharisees. Get this though.

Read More Inside FirstGod created a world at peace. Everything about the set-up and framework of the creation order was about harmony.

I saw him plan it out, then they took their time doing the construction. One geezer spent […]

Orlando certainly befits the term. Find out about his Kidz Hub initiative through the link. I had the huge benefit of making his acquaintance […]
Read More Exploring The HomeIt’s not something I mention here often. If at all. I preach. OK, when I say that, what I mean is that in some gatherings, at some times, I’ve been asked to outline a monologue to engage with listeners about some aspect of the Christian life. It doesn’t happen often and to be fair in […]
Read More My Greatest Sermon EverYou want to know how this started? Blame King Arthur Sido. It is really worth me mentioning what a huge admirer I am of his blog. I enjoy taking time to read his perspective and passion about the things of God. On this occasion he posted a really cool video of N.T. Wright talking about […]
Read More Being Truly HumanThe church is meant to be a community. It’s meant to be a gathering of those called out from the world to proclaim to the world the amazing good news of Jesus. How we proclaim that is as much by out relationships as anything else. So we have Jesus in John 17 making a heartfelt […]
