God has dealt with my shame..
Shame..I’m sure we’ve all experienced it at some time in our lives. Even the word itself “shame” makes me squirm. It is a word that just sums up exactly the feelings you experience when you are ashamed or someone else shames you. It’s humiliating, awful and you just want to disappear and hide. For all…

Talking the world’s language…
Do you ever feel as a Christian that the world is just not listening to you. That those around you don’t seem to understand what you are saying. That you’re talking a different language. As a follower of Jesus, this shouldn’t really surprise us. The truth is we do speak a different language to the…

A course correction..
Morning all, this is my contribution today for #throwbackthursday and follows on from the recent words on change and recalibration which the Lord has been stirring again in my heart at the start of this year. This previous post from October 2020 was about making a “course correction”. The Lord has been speaking these same…

The Invitation – Pass it on
The Holy Spirit brought these words to my remembrance this morning. “The Invitation – Pass it on”. I recalled those words as being the title to a post I had written some years ago. I searched my archives and eventually I found it. It was 4 years ago that I had written these words in…

Truth..
Most people that I encounter want to know the truth. They don’t want lies, half-truths, imaginations or guesswork. However, I find more and more that people’s expectations are that they won’t be told the truth and they expect lies. If you did a poll I think the majority would now say that they do not…
