The Hat & Tattoo Taboo

September 22, 2012

It appears when you prayer to improve your character, you don’t instantly get your wish, but rather plenty of opportunities to practice. So the last two years have involved me have to man up and speak to people face to face more than ever before. But they also involved something else – more of me coming face to face with my own flaws than ever before too – usually by others pointing them out.

Special Need

February 29, 2012

It is important to realise and understand how special we are to God. Failure to do so limits and constrains us, and may restrict God’s ability to achieve His plans for us.

Duty of our Call

November 12, 2011

There are so many reflections I could make on the night. Comparing my own desire for the eternal with the crowds desire for the temporary and finding myself lacking, wishing the church was as desperate to spread the gospel as these customers were to get their hands on the game. Sadly shaking my head as the memory of the night encapsulates all that I think is wrong with todays consumaristic society. The must have attitude where people are so desperate for the latest game, fashion, phone that they must be one of the first too own it, the sad fact that this will all be repeated on perhaps an even bigger scale next year when the next Call of Duty comes out.

God, Family, Friends, Church

March 26, 2011

Maybe not exactly but you get the idea. Didn’t Jesus come to free us from this kind of mindless legalism? Have we missed a trick by promoting this kind of priority style list? I mean we all know that God should be number one, but is a list the best way to motivate us? And how does this work out on a day to day basis? Like a to do list? Can we tick off the God part and then move onto our other priorities? Because if that’s the case isn’t it actually our jobs that comes out top? How do we balance God with these other important parts of our lives?

The Best of Times

November 6, 2010

We all know the cliches about how we are more connected to each other than ever but somehow more lonely and I’m not going to re-cover that ground. Instead I have been thinking about how this state of affairs has affected our relationship with God. I think I have a ‘text’ relationship with God. But only the bad side of texting.

Big Pictures

October 2, 2010

Sometimes seeing the bigger picture causes us to lose track of the moment. Ben’s in the moment, he’s off to school for the first time and he’s not going to let this minor annoyance stop him. Would we be the same? Or would fear of the future freeze us in the present?

‘God speed’

September 8, 2010

We spend (/waste) so much of our lives thinking and working or being anxious or proud based on the past or the future – both of which are often irrelevant to life, and cripple our ability to live in this moment. ‘God speed’ is not necessarily progress at a spectacular rate – it is acceptance of existence in the moment. Living…right now.
