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.

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?

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”
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.

Freedom
All of us desire to be free. Free to think what we want, say what we want, do what we want and go where we want. Freedom is generally considered to be a lack of restraint and rules. It is a nice ideal until we realise that freedom without boundaries is actually chaos and potentiallyContinue reading “Freedom”
Being convinced
A manager that I used to have often replied ‘I am not convinced’ in answer to proposals or ideas for which he needed more information or persuasion.
