Teaching is a wonderful, but also a daunting thing. If it is done well, it can change someones life forever, if it is done badly it can cause them to dislike that topic forever. Teaching is tricky, but it is also vitally important!
This is the case with people of all ages and with a vast range of topicsContinue reading “The importance of teaching…5 practical ways to help us teach the next generation”
Children are an absolute joy, but it can be difficult to know how to raise them, how to teach them and how to pray for them. Here are two books that might help.
How do you engage with people who believe that the Bible teaches something that it clearly does not? How do you engage in discussion with people who use the same words and terminology as Christians do but whose doctrine is completely contrary to Christianity?Continue reading “Sharing the gospel with a Jehovah’s Witness”
I’ve had a few conversations recently in which people have discussed that as Christians we should be united. To that I give a hearty Amen!
However, there are doctrinal issues, matter of belief and understanding of God’s Word, that mean we won’t be united with others. Continue reading “The importance of sound doctrine…”
There are some books written today that are great editions to tons of others out there on the same topic, there are other books that are good but expected and then there are books that are needed! Humble Calvinism is a book that needed to be written!Continue reading “Humble Calvinism”
One of the things that people of my age think about a lot is retirement and when we can stop working. I know, it’s pretty crazy.
But it goes beyond the realms or work, and beyond the demographic of my own generation.

Over the years I have read many books, some good and some bad, some written specifically for new Christians and some for the seasoned saint. But there are some books that every person should read because they are so challenging, Sunny Side Up is one of them!
Sunny Side Up is about the conversation between Jesus and Peter in John 21.Continue reading “Sunny Side Up”
What does that mean? How do you reconcile this perspective with that statement? Do you know about this subject?
These are all questions that I have been asked on numerous occasions. People want answers to their questions, and they want them now!
