Proverbs 15:16 The more we have the more we have to lose. The more we have the more we want. The more we have the more we have to worry about. The more we have the more complicated life gets. Even so, we spend our lives desiring more, working for more and stressing about theContinue reading “The more we have”

Who is right?
Proverbs 21:2 Each one of us is clever enough to convince ourselves that we are right or that we are doing the right thing. We may start off hesitant, but we eventually come up with enough arguments to justify our actions. This is true even if it ends up hurting someone else. Often, we don’tContinue reading “Who is right?”
Whose hands?
Psalm 5:1 We all put our lives into someone’s hands. Most of the time we decide that the best person to trust with our life is ourselves. On the odd occasion we might find ourselves in dire straits and humble ourselves enough to call for help. If we really thought about it, we would realiseContinue reading “Whose hands?”
Anger alert
Ephesians 4:26-27 When we see our kids doing things we know are not good for them and that will hurt them we tend to get angry if they don’t listen to our wisdom. While our intentions are good the anger, when not identified and controlled, can lead to us doing things that hurt our relationshipContinue reading “Anger alert”
Who are you living for?
2 Corinthians 5:15 None of us want to feel left out, unimportant or as if we are being used for someone else’s benefit. Even more so if we had given up everything for them. The more we put into a relationship the more we expect to be included, trusted, thanked, valued and loved. Often peopleContinue reading “Who are you living for?”

The problem is like it or not that the new year will also bring new problems, new tragedies and new disappointments. In all likelihood our habits,Continue reading “Happy New You”
Showing and Sharing
Matthew 28:19 I know I get caught up in the busyness of life and tend to forget that my purpose as a follower of Jesus is to introduce him to those around me. It is not about pushing my religion, it is not about increasing numbers at church, it is not about changing a politicalContinue reading “Showing and Sharing”
Approachable
Hebrews 4:16 Approaching any god with confidence was unheard of before Jesus introduced humanity to his Father. All gods were to be feared, not trusted and approached with great care so as not to upset them. Even today most religions worship a god or gods who need to be continually pleased or appeased by someContinue reading “Approachable”
Hope like no other
Isaiah 40:31 Hope is like breath, we can’t live without it. Hope is more than dreams and wishes because they can easily vanish. Hope is more about trusting that there is a future and a purpose for our life. Without hope we give up, without hope we get tired, without hope we don’t have aContinue reading “Hope like no other”
