“Actions speak louder than words.” None of us are impressed when we are promised something and it never happens. None of us are happy when we are told we are important or valued but are treated like second class citizens. None of us like being told we are loved but never get to feel theContinue reading “More than words”

Talk too much?
The amount that someone talks and what they talk about can really reveal a lot about that person. If they talk excessively they either enjoy hearing their own voice, are not really interested in the other person or are trying to protect themselves by not allowing the conversation to get too deep. Talking too littleContinue reading “Talk too much?”
God is God and we are not.
More often than not we expect more from God than we think He expects from us. We feel that if God were God He should be doing this or that. He should be getting rid of evil, healing the sick, giving me what I want, answering my prayers and making the world a better place.Continue reading “God is God and we are not.”
The weight of the world
In today’s busy and demanding world with heightened emphasis on productivity and compliance it doesn’t take much to feel the weight of the world on our shoulders. Directly or indirectly we are threatened with jobs cuts, fines and at the very least a reduction in our personal worth if we don’t perform or fail toContinue reading “The weight of the world”
Which version?
How do you tell if your version of Christianity is the right one? A good indication at least is to answer the following questions and compare your answers with today’s verse; Do you feel weighed down with guilt when you reflect on your past mistakes and choices? Are you burdened with shame and feel youContinue reading “Which version?”
Big dreams?
Some people seem to be born with dreams, hopes and plans for their life. They know what they want to be, they know where they want to go, and they are determined to get there. Others like me still hope to be given that certainty and go through life doing their best at whatever theyContinue reading “Big dreams?”
Shifting priorities
We all make time for what is important to us. When we say yes to something it means we are saying no to something else. Through our life our priorities change and what was important once upon a time is no longer as valuable to us. This change can be positive or negative depending onContinue reading “Shifting priorities”
Turmoil and trouble
Will North Korea start a war? Will the volcano erupt? Will an earthquake cause a tsunami? Will a hurricane wipe out a city? Will my marriage survive this rocky time? Will I still have a job this time next year? Will I be able to afford an interest rate rise? Will my kids make goodContinue reading “Turmoil and trouble”
A new you
We have all done, heard, seen and been part of things that we would rather forget. They might have been regretful, painful and even abusive. Whatever it was there are feelings of guilt, shame, anger and regret that just won’t go away. If that is the case then you need the new life that comesContinue reading “A new you”
Unpopular
Hundreds of years before Jesus walked the earth it was predicted that he would not be popular. He started off the crowd favourite but it soon became apparent that he was not the superhero that everyone was hoping for. He wasn’t going to rescue the nation of Israel from the oppression of Rome, he didn’tContinue reading “Unpopular”
