If you’ve spent any time in Christian circles you’ve probably heard all the lingo. Quiet-times, spending time, personal devotions and so on, they all describe the same thing; personal time spent in God’s Word and prayer. Everyone will have different practices, use different materials and do it at different times of the day. But IContinue reading “A Problem With ‘Quiet-Times’”

Holiness, a list of ‘do-nots’ or a divinely enabled life?
Holiness, that’s probably a word you hear about a fair wee bit in church. Many of our songs speak about God’s holiness. Preachers describe God as holy, and rightly so. But how often do we talk about, sing about or preach about our own holiness? Maybe you’re part of a generation that saw holiness inContinue reading “Holiness, a list of ‘do-nots’ or a divinely enabled life?”

We’re surrounded by constant distractions and things that pull on our time. Prayer time is shortened, Bible reading is all but gone except for a wee quick verse in the morningContinue reading “Don’t waste your isolation!”

This also means that I read a huge variety of resources which I hope will be helpful to you, my dear readers. This time ofContinue reading “Resources for digging deeper..”
