Closer than I think.

I have always loved the verses in 1 John 4 talking about love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. (1 John 4:9, NIV) Whenever I have read this verse or heard it preached, I have alwaysContinue reading “Closer than I think.”

The Renewing of the Mind

In enjoy discussions with people in regards to the heart, I often come to the point of sharing that the Christian life is all about living from the heart and if we don’t have something in our heart then we don’t have it. There are many scriptures where Jesus shares this. Out of the heartContinue reading “The Renewing of the Mind”

Revival of the heart

Lately I’ve been listening to a number of teachings speaking about revival. It occurred to me that the understood definition of revival was a place that was having an outpouring of the spirit where signs and wonders were occurring and this place was usually church building and /or gathering of people. When we look atContinue reading “Revival of the heart”

Father’s Delight

Lately I’ve had a lot of Father’s love moments in my interactions with Thomas. Just the other day Thomas was holding a small flashlight. He announces “I’m going to turn it on, daddy turn it on for me”. There wasn’t a moment of hesitation between “I’m going to” and “daddy do it”. As I turnedContinue reading “Father’s Delight”

Jesus’ Faith

This evening while communing with the Word, I realised something about faith. I have always been told that faith by definition is to act upon something without first seeing the evidence. In reality I guess I have always felt like faith was acting on something I intellectually agreed with but had not yet experienced. ButContinue reading “Jesus’ Faith”

A heart to give

Yesterday my son was playing with his Mega Blocks and said “I’m going to make you a robot”. He then proceeded to put together a number of blocks forming a simple rectangle two wide and five high. When he handed it to me, I couldn’t have been more proud. No one else would have beenContinue reading “A heart to give”

Blind to Revelation

Yesterday at work I was trying to figure out how to test something. I set things up to the point where I needed to force an error to occur so that I could ensure our system handled the situation properly. It was a part of the system that I wasn’t as familiar with and IContinue reading “Blind to Revelation”

A Father’s Desire

My son currently is in a phase of usually saying 2 word sentences. For example Green straw, is said like “Green draw” because he can’t pronounce ‘s’ yet. My wife and I have been so proud of any increase in the number of words like “I need more cars” Last night I had just finishedContinue reading “A Father’s Desire”

In Love

I have been in many church services and home groups where confronting others with their wrong doings has been said to be the loving thing to do. This has been taught for generations and maybe like me you have even instructed others accordingly. In all his time on earth Jesus never confronted people with whatContinue reading “In Love”

Perspective

Lately father has been showing me much my perspective differs from his. The other day my wife made an interesting observation with our son. He was sitting in the high chair having dinner. My son had just thrown some food on the floor and knowing that he was not supposed to do this he proceededContinue reading “Perspective”
