Our ‘Why’ unlocks everything
·
Why is a ‘Why’ important? Where there is no vision, the people are unrestrained, But happy is one who keeps the Law. Proverbs 29: 18 I always remembered this verse as ‘without vision, people die’, but I think that this is worse. People are unrestrained, ungovernable… everyone is doing what is right in their own […]

“I only helped them because I knew they’d owe me.”
·
How do you frame your motivations? The enemy wants to steal, kill and destroy; specifically, you. He wants to see you living a life of death. He has no new tactics, and the same tactic he used on Adam and Eve he used on Jesus, and will use on you “IF you are a/ the […]

“All this fu**ing and no sons?”
·
This is your warning, taken from the Film: ‘The Departed’ (which explores some very provocative ideas on sonship): The hopeful words of an older man (played by Jack Nicholson) : “You’re like a son to me” Reply (Matt Damon) “Is that what this is all about? All this murdering and fucking… and no sons?” Please […]

The Kingdom of God is here.
·
Life is all about seeing God’s Kingdom come, and His will done, in and through your life. “I must also preach the kingdom of God to the other cities, because I was sent for this purpose.” Jesus – Luke 4: 43 (My emphasis) “Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand” – Luke 10: 9 (My […]

Life with Authority
·
I smiled at the boy who had stuck his head up as he turned around three rows in front of me. I’m tall, so it’s normal for me to have a view over the seats ahead of me on flights. His gaze turned to me fleetingly as he saw my smile, then he executed the […]

You are NOT in full time ministry.
·
If you tell others that you are, you’re part of the problem. Someone came up to me the other day and asked me if I was in full time ministry. I told him that I wasn’t and he was disappointed. I’d been asked to pray at the front of the church and he had clearly […]

God has the resources
·
All the resources you need are available in Him. The Kingdom of God is like two men who walked down to the beach. One wept, turned and walked away. The other waited patiently for the tide to turn. I had an image of the tide as I was talking with God about resources this morning. […]

Poor? Try the Gospel.
·
Jesus had a very clear way to meet the needs of the poor. “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor.” Jesus, Luke 4:18; quoting Isaiah 61:1 I was baffled when I read this again later in Luke, when Jesus is testifying to His […]

The Meaning of Life?
·
Hammers aren’t great for tenderising steak. Yes, they can do it, but we have tenderisers for that. They have a wider impact area and some have points to help break up the collagen bonds. Tenderisers aren’t good for hammering in nails. Yes, they can do it, but they may be damaged, and I couldn’t guarantee […]

You Exist, so you’re commissioned.
·
This piece is going to reassure you that not only are you not a mistake, or of little value, but that you are made, and your very existence is a commissioning – so we need you! ‘Exesti’ is a Latin word and it means ‘it is lawful, permitted, possible’. You exist because it is lawful, […]

I want power, and I want control
·
Just being honest… If you say you don’t, you’re lying. And you’re probably more desperate for it than the rest of us… maybe you’re trying to take control of the desire to control by pretending it isn’t there. By the end of this blog, you’ll re-cognise why you desire these things and how to see […]

Look busy, Jesus is coming!
·
I don’t like the idea of Christians thinking that Jesus could SUDDENLY come back later this afternoon, or maybe tonight… We’re a long way from this marriage. Jesus is coming back to a bride without spot, wrinkle or blemish. A victorious church that is walking in a full revelation of the gospel of the Kingdom. […]

You must repent
·
So Jesus’ key message was that we should repent. The purpose of this post is to encourage you to press into being led by the Holy Spirit so that God’s Kingdom can be seen in a greater and greater degree; until the waters cover the sea. As I’m sure you’re aware, ‘repent’ is our translation […]

I Am About You
·
I thought I should explain the logo and then decided that a bit of background to it would be helpful. The logo is from my business, which I started in 2014 having realised that I had a responsibility to steward the gifts that God had given me. How did I know what these gifts were? […]

“We don’t have enough for ourselves, let alone for all these immigrants”.
·
“If only someone would stop all these illegal immigrants, we would have enough money for the problems we have in our own country” Provision and protection. That’s what society is all about. If your provision and protection are your own responsibility, you have to double down on making sure that you are ok before you […]

Be a Berean!!
·
Whatever you read on here, take it back to your Bible and pray. The Bible says that there is a significant responsibility that I take up by using my teaching gift, so rest assured that from my side the things I write are things that I am and have wrestled with. Let not many of you become […]

We need YOU as well as Jesus…
·
I believe that the next revival will be Christians becoming christians. “Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” ― Howard Thurman If anyone has a right to say that they are fully alive; it’s Christians. You […]

What’s on the other side of the Cross?
·
Bringing people to the cross has been seen to be the mission of the church for a couple thousand years. Has it been transformational? Yes – for us as individuals, for societies and for the good of those who had no idea they were reaping the reward of lives of faith. But there’s more; there’s […]
