Here are some things that are on my heart as we navigate this season and bring to a close the 3 day global fast. 1. It is finished. When Christ died and rose again His victory was full and complete. We are that generation long spoken of whose lives get to testify to that Truth. […]
Have you ever seen self-righteousness masquerade as truth-telling? There’s a strange habit you might have noticed among some believers who respond “with truth” to anything that is said in the negative, or that even slightly fails to reflect glistening hope, or that displays your brokenness. The “truth” comes as a glib correction with phrases like […]
When Jesus said, “unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you,” (John 6:53-58) it highly offended many of His followers who did not understand what He was saying or what it meant. In that culture the drinking of blood was hugely offensive and […]
Several conversations that I’ve had recently and an impression that I saw, made me aware of an age-old enemy strategy at play on a broad scale yet again to exhaust believers. Again and again his plan A seems to be to attack the root of faith in us because if our faith is shaken then […]
I considered again the Israelites en route to the promised land and heard their story echoing for our generation. How often are we en route to the land of promise but too short-sighted to even see it? How often have we grumbled and complained because the place of transition was too long, too uncomfortable, too […]
A shift that I am seeing I am seeing some “One Thing” shifts happening on the earth and over the next while I would like to write and talk about some of these things, as well as create space for hungry ones to come together in-keeping with this theme, but for now I want to […]
How do we respond when the world is seemingly going mad? In the space of one week we hear that New York is legalising abortion, at will, up until birth, the Zimbabwean government is crushing, silencing and isolating it’s people while something akin to a horror movie plays out in real time, and South Africa […]
“Under three things the earth quakes, and under four it cannot bear up; a pauper (slave) when he becomes a king…” Proverbs 30:21-22 This is a remarkable scripture that gives insight into the effects of identity and its far reaching implications, even to the earth. In our contexts we can liken becoming kings to becoming […]
Leaders courageously deal with their own stuff, so that others don’t have to put up with it. In my days as a campus minister we would organise student leadership training camps and whisk leaders-in-training away for a weekend of intense internal development. The transport for these camps was usually an organised car pool of every […]
