Gratitude: The Superpower that brings Contentment…
There is a battle going on in our minds continually: between our ego and the will of God. It’s an ancient battle that saw the world fall into sin and away from God.

The Best Years of my Life?!—From Bullied to Beloved, to Confidence in God.
Some say that your school years are the best years of your life. I hated school and looking forward to leaving was a source of comfort, so these words did not give me much hope.

The Secret Place of His Presence
Where do we go when we are short of resources? If we are hungry we go to the fridge. If we are thirsty we go to the tap. If we need help, advice or a listening ear we might go to a friend. What if we are drained of energy, enthusiasm, or joy? What if… Continue reading

Mission Ready—God Equips the Called (2/5)
In the last article I tried to reassure us that when God calls a person to a specific work, the calling is unmistakeable.

Sunday Takeaways—Navel Gazing: The Right Perspective?
“The service commenced and as soon as the first hymn/song was announced I began to well up. We started to sing, and in that way that happens on occasion – your life, your feelings and the moment collide and collude to hit you where you’re at.” Continue reading

Who’s on the Throne?

Stay Calm, The End is Nigh – Luke 21 (21/24)
The account of the widows gift to the temple may seem out of place just prior to the discourse about end times, but talking of its future highlights the contrast between how devoted the people were to this institution which became redundant long ago and its imminent destruction (which happened only 40 years later in… Continue reading

Valued and Provisioned – Luke 12 (12/24)
We are intrinsically valuable to God and He cares for all our needs. Since God cares so much for us we need not concern ourselves with how we might flourish. We may store up wealth, but in the end it cannot change the outcome of our lives. We must live as though Jesus could return… Continue reading

Go, But Stay Close – Luke 10 (10/24)
