End of Year Review
For some years now, the end of the year has been a time where I’ve done a review. Amid the festivities and pressies and food, it’s been the ideal time to take stock of life and begin to seek God … Continue reading
Changing Seasons
I love autumn, it’s my favourite season. I love the beautiful colours, the smell of bonfires, crunching and kicking through the leaves with the kids or splashing in puddles, the excuse to get out those chunky winter jumpers, the afternoons … Continue reading
Selah. Pause.
There is something restorative about a moment of quiet. Many of us feel uncomfortable with silences – we try to fill them, we feel their unproductive, perhaps even a waste of time. But there is something incredibly beautiful that happens … Continue reading
Slave to Much?
I recently heard teaching that included a discussion about idolatry. Now I’ve always known that idolatry means worshipping something or someone other than God but I’ve never thought very deeply about it. After all, it can be easy to give … Continue reading
Perfect Timing
Why does God always seem to show up at the last minute? The eleventh hour? It seems to me that He doesn’t, yet this is the way our culture seems to explain it. God’s timing is perfect and while we … Continue reading
The Hope in “But”…
“As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins…But because of his great love for us, God who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions – it is by … Continue reading
Psalm 51
An inspiring and uplifting audiovisual interpretation of Psalm 51 that really speaks for itself. I hope you enjoy it! Created by Ben Lacey.
Conviction vs. Condemnation
Conviction versus condemnation, there is a difference. My current understanding of conviction is when your spirit reveals a wrong to you. Condemnation is simply a lot of guilt, oftentimes false guilt. This false guilt is what I’d like to speak … Continue reading
God Is Faithful.
Everything I have ever needed has been provided for. So why do I question the next step? I have never had to go a day without food, or even a meal, yet at times I’ve wondered if God would keep … Continue reading
Pigeon versus Eagle.
Are you a Pigeon or an Eagle? It’s probably not a question you’ve been asked before, but I think I know which most people would rather be. Recently God called me to leave my pigeon ways behind and rise to … Continue reading
Holy Dust.
It was an amazing weekend. We spent it with great friends, worshipping the Lord and learning more stuff about Him. There was a special time of praying for each other. People shared words, prophesied, it was truly life-changing. The atmosphere … Continue reading
Covetousness
It’s a nasty looking word in my opinion. I think words have personalities. This one is sly, seeping into your mind when you’re not aware of it, taking root from innocent observations or situations. It poisons the past with regrets, … Continue reading
Living by faith
I often marvel at Christian leaders who give all their money away and see God’s provision in miraculous ways. I admire their great faith and mature walk with God, and when I’m struggling with money, I often think that the … Continue reading
Foundations.
What foundation are you building your life on? If you’re a Christian then your automatic response is probably “Jesus” right? Great! We all grow up with different values and principles modelled to us – hopefully they are mostly good ones, … Continue reading
Lost in Translation: Shalom.
It is easy to take for granted our English translations of the Bible. Yet when translating from one language to another meaning can be lost. This is especially true when translating Hebrew which has a relatively small vocabulary and one … Continue reading
Words of encouragement.
I have the privilege of living in Lima, Peru and living my life amongst the Peruvians. One thing that I love about them is the way that they delight in the achievements of others and encourage others so freely. Western … Continue reading
Breaking in to break out !!
A couple of years back I got stuck in my own bedroom. I know, how did I manage that? Well truth is I don’t know, but in the end in the early hours of the morning I had to … Continue reading
Pure Joy
I recently went on a trip to visit an old friend in Seattle and had a God given epiphany. My friend who is an Urban Planning major simply loved to show me everything about Seattle on a map. He would … Continue reading
One of Many
I’ve recently discovered that there is great freedom in being ordinary. I should probably preface this by saying that I do believe we are all unique creations, chosen and dearly loved by God (Col. 3:12). But truth is so … Continue reading
Chocolate and Elastoplasts
I would like to challenge the immortal words of Forest Gump, Is life really like a box of chocolates? Or more like a box of Elastoplasts? Why is it we go through life, experiencing hurt, pain, sorrow, and grief … Continue reading
