Today I want to continue looking at how, as Christians, we should live our lives, using words from the bible for guidance. The text I want to use today is from 1 Thessalonians 5:13-15 (The Message): Get along among yourselves, each of you doing your part. Our counsel is that you warn the freeloaders to get [...]

Over the next few days I want to focus on how, as Christians, we should live our lives, using words from the bible for guidance. The text I want to use today is from 1 Thessalonians 5:12-13 (The Message): And now, friends, we ask you to honour those leaders who work so hard for you, [...]

I mentioned in yesterday’s blog post, Whatever, that I’m always amazed by how God directs us through sending us the same messages several times in different forms. At our service on Sunday night not only was I reminded that God wants us to come to Him just as we are (as I talked about in [...]

It never ceases to amaze me how often God directs us to the same songs/bible passages/messages from various different angles and directions, but all so that we get His message loud and clear. And so that’s exactly what I’ve experience again in these last few days… One of the things I’ve been looking at in [...]

Do you sometimes feel as if you’re not in control of your life? I know when I’ve a lot of things going on in different areas of my life, I can often feel as if everybody else is dictating what I do and when I do it, so I feel as though I’m not in [...]

Have you ever been told that you “look just like your…” mum/dad/aunt/uncle/sister/brother…? How do you feel when you get told you look just like one of your relatives? Lots of questions for you today…Do you agree with other peoples’ options of who you look like? Are you happy with the comparison? Ultimately though we have [...]

I’m sure you will have heard this phrase many times: Home is where the heart is But what does that actually mean? Well here’s a great definition I came across a few days ago: When I walk into my home I feel peace. I feel I am in the most safe environment that I could [...]
Heart and Soul

Psalm 51: 16 (The Message) Going through the motions doesn’t please you, a flawless performance is nothing to you. I learned God-worship when my pride was shattered. Heart-shattered lives ready for love don’t for a moment escape God’s notice. As I touched on yesterday in Stripped Away, our worship can sometimes get overtaken [...]

Yesterday in The Darkness I spoke about how we live in a world full of many negative and dark influences. Today I want us to think about how this world can be moved out of darkness, so that the people of this world are free from suffering, free from pain and full of optimism and [...]
