What makes a true Christian?
I am currently reading a few books simulatenously. I admit, it’s not the best way to read, nor the most efficient, but what can I say… it’s a tough habit to break. One of the books is Bill Johnson’s...

Ananias, Sapphira, and the Goodness of God

God’s Goodness as a Cornerstone

So… tomorrow it’s Easter…
It’s funny how Easter sneaks up on you. It sneaks up on you, that is, unless you go to the shops a lot. In which case you’ve known about Easter since the day after Valentines Day when they swapped...

Starting your day with Jesus
For the last 13 years I have had a discipline of starting off every day with Jesus. Of course there have been days here and there where I don’t get it right: I have a late night, I have a really early...

Is there more than one way to God?

Changing Your Internal Culture
This last weekend I was privileged to attend a conference with Danny Silk and Kris Vallotton from Bethel Church. I don’t think there has been another group of people who have shaped my understanding of...

Changing your Habits (1)

Changing your Habits (2)
This, the last of 3 posts on changing your internal culture (or habits). The last post dealt with bringing about change through thinking and believing, but that is only part of the solution. This post...

Is Jesus Just Another Brick in the Wall?
A song I am really enjoying at the moment is “Cornerstone” by Hillsong. If you haven’t heard it yet you should definitely take a listen! Here are the lyrics based on an old hymn with their added...
