    Envy

    This is an excellent post by Manu and if you missed it the first time around then I recommend a read. It is about Moses, Miriam and Aaron and the effect of sibling rivalry, envy and unhealthy comparisons. God takes action. As members of one body and brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus we need…

  • Being a team member (Part 1)

    You may recall me mentioning recently that I learnt a lot from my time as a volunteer team member at the Commonwealth Games in The Final Whistle. In particular, it was these bible verses (repeated below from Corinthians 12) about being members of the body of Christ that really came alive to me and taught…

  • Refreshing Company

    I’m fortunate still to be away this week having a refreshing break in the beautiful hills and valleys of Wales. Truly beautiful part of this world and our Father’s creation. I’ve been able to keep up with my reading and enjoyed Alan’s post on refreshment which comes from reading our precious bibles. Praise God. It…

  • By Invitation Only

    My dear children – you are all children in my sight, dear and beloved to me. How my heart aches for you. How my heart longs to take you in my arms and remove the burdens you are carrying.   I am here – just waiting for you. Waiting to lift you up in my…

  • Joseph Hero of the Faith (3)

    This week we are looking at the story of Joseph and from the comments, Joseph is one of our favourite bible characters. His story inspires many of us on so many levels and gives us hope. Today the question is- Why did God choose Joseph to fulfil His plans out of all the sons of…

  • Family Time

    Morning friends and welcome to the weekend. I had a different post for this morning but I think the Lord had other ideas so I have put it back into drafts for another day. This week for me has been a hard one at work with lots of challenges and I’m sure there are some…

  • Pure Whites

    After a recent time of fellowship and ministry during which we took communion, my friend had a picture of pure white washing pegged out on a clothes line. It’s a simple picture really but it spoke deeply to me about who I am now in Christ. I’m as clean as that white washing. In order…

  • Don’t miss out!

    My dear friends, I want to encourage you today with these words that I heard the Lord speak to me this morning in our church service: Don’t miss out!! Yesterday morning, I had the urge to contact my fellowship group to encourage them to attend the church service this morning or to watch the live…

  • Refreshing Company 2

    So a couple of weeks ago I posted Refreshing Company about 3 believers named Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus, who the Apostle Paul commended for being people who had by their visit refreshed him and the other believers in Corinth. Paul encouraged recognising such people, so today I want to give a quick shout out and…

  • Taking Stock

    Today, I attended for the first time a breakfast meeting with Christians from all over our region of the Black Country in the West Midlands organised by “Love Black Country”. For those who may not be familiar with the Black Country it is an area outside of Birmingham which takes in the four boroughs of…
