Over the years my attitude to note taking, underlining and scribbling in books has changed. Looking at books I read 3 years ago the spines are not bent, the pages are clean and it looks like I haven’t turned a page. Looking at my books now is a different story. Dog ears, highlights, underlines, notesContinue reading “Scripture Journal…”

Give A Gift Without an Expiry Date
Christmas, a time of joy for many but also a time of pain for many. Christmas, at its core, is a time to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. It is a time to celebrate who Jesus is and why Jesus became flesh and dwelt among us. I’d like to highlight a few books thatContinue reading “Give A Gift Without an Expiry Date”
Kid’s Christmas
*I received a free copy of these books from the publishers in exchange for an honest review. This has not clouded my judgment * Christmas is a great opportunity to tell children about Jesus. The Lord has blessed the church with a ton of great children’s books and other resources to help with that. I’d likeContinue reading “Kid’s Christmas”

Suffering is a common experience to the majority of people in the world. It may be illness, it might have been a rough upbringing or it may take the form of witnessing someone else’s suffering. Suffering is not a stranger to the mortal man. Therefore, it makes sense that the question a lot of peopleContinue reading “Where is God in all the Suffering?”
5 Marks of a Gospel Church
1 Thessalonians has been one of my favourite books of the Bible for a long time. I studied it early on in Bible College and thoroughly enjoyed it. So when I was sent Sam Gordon’s easy read commentary ‘5 Marks of a Gospel Church’ I was pretty excited
Here Are Your Gods!
It’s only been in the last few years that I’ve started actually watching the news and thinking about politics. Previously I wouldn’t have bothered with politics at all. I didn’t understand it (still not sure I do!) and I saw how so many people argued over their particular political stances. So imagine my own shockContinue reading “Here Are Your Gods!”
Caring for the Souls of Children: A Biblical Counselor’s Manual
Pastoring and counselling people is tough! It’s hard to know what to say at times and it’s hard to know when to listen and when to speak. Counsellors are a huge blessing to the church and with their professional expertise they can be a great help. Many pastors are learning on the job as theyContinue reading “Caring for the Souls of Children: A Biblical Counselor’s Manual”
DoubtLess: Because Faith Is Hard
One of the things I really enjoy about my job is that I get to spend a lot of my time in 1-1s with people. I spend hours reading the Bible with, praying with and discussing some of the difficult questions people have about the Christian faith. Too often I’ve seen Christians worry that theirContinue reading “DoubtLess: Because Faith Is Hard”
