There are different types of Columbo episodes. One I particularly admire goes along the following lines. As you know, because like me, you love Columbo, the show is not about guessing who did it. It’s about seeing how Columbo can outwit them so they may be duly caught. There are murders that take place, however, […]
Read More It is a ReliefThe book of Samuel concludes with an episode in which David sins before God. It’s fascinating that David pressed on with the census despite good advice telling him not to do so. It’s just as fascinating that David’s conscience hits when he recognises what he’s done. There is much to learn from this episode. It’s […]
Read More Sam’s 2nd Epic 24 – Learning from a Senseless CensusWho knows? God may yet relent and with compassion turn from his fierce anger so that we will not perish. (Jonah 3:9 NIV) If the book of Jonah was to be made into a film it would feature a cast of many. Group of sailors for the first chapter and representatives for the large city […]
Read More Jonah’s Journey 3 – Running with GodYeah, when I read the word I could only remember A Christmas Carol and Ebenezer Scrooge. (In fact there was also a house tune that had a line that said ‘He’s a scrooge, He’s a scrooge, He’s Ebenezer Scrooge.’ Not that I was into house music much in the past, but a good friend of mine […]
Read More Sam’s 1st Epic 07 – EbenezerWhy did I do it? At first it was out of a sense of desperation. To me I felt that I needed it and as I couldn’t get it having gone through the proper channels, I felt it was the only way to get it. I have got to confess, sometimes I wouldn’t go through […]
Read More Journeyman Journal – HurtAnd the crowds asked him, “What then shall we do?” And he answered them, “Whoever has two tunics is to share with him who has none, and whoever has food is to do likewise.” (Luke 3:10-11 ESV) Zechariah and Elizabeth’s miracle son established the call to repentance in simple and yet radical ways. Mountains made […]
Read More A Look at Luke 3 – The Way PreparedIntroduction I believe I understand the sentiment. We got to know something about him. His mannerisms, his personality, his pet peeves, his little delights and with what we gathered together we get an idea about him. So when he’s not around we look to do something in memory of him or in his honour. No […]
Read More It’s Not What God Would Have WantedCertain words used to be mentioned frequently, then went slightly out of fashion, then got a reboot before falling into some disarray and then going through the cycle again. One of those words in my brief sojourn on the planet so far is the word repentance. To remind/inform you, my context of upbringing was in […]
Read More About RepentanceWhen I’m at my lowest low, no one picks me up like Jesus. He rescues me from the state of despair that often paralyses any effort to be a functioning member of society. In my darkest hour the light of His way enables me to see the way out and that not even the darkness […]
Read More Joy Of Your SalvationThis following Jesus thing is quite the journey. What is very challenging about it is just how seismic the transformation is from who you are before following Him to who you are working towards being when you start following Him. I became very much aware of the culture I was in, the culture I was […]
