Lately in church, we’ve been talking a lot about Seasons of Silence. Those seasons when God’s voice is undiscernable and the resulting silence is deafening. Yesterday, I stated that while there are definetely seasons of silence in our lives, God is always actively at work to bring about His purpose. You see, He determines when [...]

I’ve been so swamped the last couple of days, that I haven’t even been able to update my blog, so I apologize to those of you who ‘religiously’ look for a daily update. Any way, enough of the platitudes and let’s get down to the business at hand. You see, I’ve been thinking a lot [...]

Can I be honest with you? Before I woke up this morning I’d never even heard of Clarence, NY. Before a little bit past 10.00pm last night, I would put money on the fact that possibly you and most other people hadn’t either. The spotlight is often a good thing. Drawing attention to your small [...]

Honestly, if the truth be told I’m not feeling all that frivolous today. I know I posted on this subject yesterday, but I can’t seem to get out of my head this idea that a planeload of about 155 people could have met with an untimely and grusome death yesterday. As I’ve followed the news [...]

In case you were looking for a reason to be thankful today, look no further than the plane that crash landed into the Hudson river in New York at around 4.50pm this evening. 150 lives that might have been tragically lost survived because of the skill and precision of the cool-headed pilot. At times like [...]

I’ve been incredibly introspective today! There are all sorts of thoughts and ideas rolling around in my head (none of which I can disclose or discuss at the moment), and I’m reminded for the umpteenth time that I’ve chosen to accept a calling that is noble, fulfilling, complex, difficult and often very, very lonely. I’ve [...]

“God is not married to our buildings, nor will He prop up our flimsy success.”
Checkmate!!!
I’ve enjoyed most of what Lee Grady (editor of Charisma Magazine) has had to say over the years, but this may be the icing on the cake (at least until the next overwhelmingly profound thing he writes). I’ve never fully understood [...]

Let’s not forget them, shall we? There have been over 150,000 lives lost in the last month as a result of tragic events that struck Myanmar and China. What makes the tragedy in China even harder to bear is the fact that China has a “One-family-one-child” policy. Entire schools were wiped out with not one [...]

The death toll in the Myanmar cyclone has reportedly topped 22,000 and there are over 41,000 people still missing. These numbers are not just zeroes but valuable, individual lives. Please spare a prayer if you can do nothing else. Check out the details here. You can give financial aid to victims and families of the [...]

Do you know where Myanmar is? Are you even aware that Myanmar is the name of the country that used to be known as Burma? I didn’t think so. In case you’re wondering what this is about, let me assure you that I’m not remotely interested in giving you a geography lesson this morning (National [...]
