God Wants to Work Through You, Not Just For You
We often pray for provision—but what if God wants participation?
No I’m not saying He needs your help. But He wants your involvement. Why? Because faith grows when you move with Him.
Embrace the Sabbath: Rest, Renew, Reset.
Gordon MacDonald says, “I’m of the opinion that busyness is a deeper threat to the soul than pornography ever was.”
Beyond Balance: Embracing God’s Priority, Plan and Purpose Today
Balance, by definition, means finding an equilibrium between competing forces. It assumes life should be a delicate juggling act where everything—work, family, ministry, personal time—exists in perfect harmony.
But life doesn’t work that way – especially if you are carrying a cross (Mark 8:34). Aiming at balance is an impossible standard that leaves you frustrated and exhausted.
Can you think of one person in Scripture who lived a “balanced” life?

Redemption Through His Blood. Lent Reflection.
If you have a mortgage right now, as you live in the property you may think you own a house – but really you don’t. As people who get over their head in debt too often discover, until the final payment is made, it’s the bank that owns the house. If you get together enough money to pay off a loan, you ask for the redemption figure – what’s still owed. Redemption is that final payment.
Power in the Blood of Jesus: A Lenten Reflection
To grasp the power of the blood, we must first grasp the heart of the One who first shed it to cover the sins of Adam and Eve, then on the cross shed it for us.
From Attendance to Action: How to Fully Participate in Church Life and Mission.
Playing Your Part: Embracing Fellowship, Discipleship, and Ministry in the local church. The early church, as described in Acts 2:41-42, 46-47, provides a clear model for how believers should engage in church life just as much where you are now as they were then. It highlights essential aspects of a true church such as fellowship, discipleship, evangelism, and ministry. I have talked before about they each ‘devoted themselves’ (nobody but you can devote you) to the Word, Worship and One Another, they shared their Wealth and saw Wonders that made the world say ‘WOW!” As members of the body of Christ today, we cannot settle for less and must pray for and deliberately participate in these areas to ensure a thriving and unified church community. The Power of Fellowship Fellowship is the heartbeat of the church. Acts 2:42 emphasises that the early believers “continued steadfastly” in fellowship. This means they stuck at it, there were no church shoppers or hoppers – they were intentional and consistent in connecting with one another. As 1 John 1:3-4 reminds us, our joy is made […]
The Commitments You Make, Make You.
Why Commitment Matters The word “commit” means to pledge, dedicate, and give oneself fully to a purpose. Yet, we live in a world that resists commitment. Many fear making commitments, worried they might miss out on something better. Ironically, the opposite is true—by avoiding commitment, we miss out on the greatest opportunities life has to offer. As I approach my 6th decade soon, I see looking back that everything that’s great in my life came on the other side of a commitment I have made and kept. The Bible reminds us: “A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways and should not think he will receive anything from the Lord” (James 1:8). History and experience show that those who accomplish great things do so because they fully commit. Nobody ever went out for a walk and found themselves at the top of Everest. You don’t accidentally achieve greatness; it requires intentional dedication. The Impact of Commitment in Ministry I write this blog with church leaders in mind – and hopefully you know that commitment is key to a thriving […]
