Clothed in TRUTH
As we started this new year, I reflected on what God might have in store for 2024, when he reminded me of something Jesus said in John 10:10 – “I have come that they might have life. And have it abundantly.” I don’t know whether you think about your hopes, dreams and prayers for the…

Birth that lasts a lifetime
A couple of months ago, as I waived my eldest daughter off to her first day of her first full time, graduate job, a number of thoughts buzzed through my mind.

Calling
It doesn’t matter who we are, how important or insignificant we feel, what others think of us, our role at work, our age, our gender, our race, the colour of our skin, our circumstances, what we’ve done in the past or how much we’ve seen or experienced God, God loves us and has a plan…

No more ‘secret’ bank account
Last Sunday a few of us were enjoying Church breakfast (yes, breakfast – I love our church!), munching croissants and chatting. I find it’s often these informal times when God speaks to me most clearly – usually about something he’s tried to point out many times in the past. Conversation turned to joint bank accounts. …
