One of the privileges of being a blogger/book reviewer is that I get sent tons of really good resources as soon as, or before, they hit the local bookshop shelf. 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..”

Some of the books I’ve read recently…
One of the joys of reading the amount of material that I do is that I get to devour tons and tons of knowledge. One of the downsides is that I can’t always write full reviews on every book. If I reviewed every book I read, I’d need to make this my full-time job! ButContinue reading “Some of the books I’ve read recently…”
Truth trumps experience…
We all have a different story, we all come from different back grounds and have different experiences. I was raised in a charismatic church, then went to a conservative evangelical church, then went to a Presbyterian church, now I’m back serving in an independent evangelical church. I was raised egalitarian and Arminian (I think), nowContinue reading “Truth trumps experience…”
Stop sanitising the truth!
The Bible is a wonderful narrative of God’s redemption, His plan and His self-revelation. But there are parts in it that can make Christians feel uneasy, uncomfortable and sometimes embarrassed and confused. Why?

Interactive Bible reading, some tips…
I’ve been doing a lot of reading over the years, but only recently (maybe the past year or so) did I actually start marking up my books. I wanted to keep my books as pristine as possible, and this was also true for my Bible. So for a long time, probably about 3 years, IContinue reading “Interactive Bible reading, some tips…”
Listen to correction, don’t mistake it for persecution…
Christian social media is a weird and wonderful place. I enjoy wasting time (far too much time!) scrolling through my newsfeeds on Twitter and Facebook. Everyday I see new theological discussions, new debates about old controversies, and sadly, I see people who are not acting in a way that is glorifying to God. Christians areContinue reading “Listen to correction, don’t mistake it for persecution…”
How do I know God’s Will for my life?
If you’ve spent any time at all around Christians, then you’ve heard this question and you’ve probably asked it yourself a number of times too, right? You know those excruciating times where you have no idea what to do, or which direction to take and you feel completely lost at sea. You’ve got questions andContinue reading “How do I know God’s Will for my life?”
Maturing as Christians…
Maturity is not always a given and age is not always a good indication of maturity; the same is true for the Christian. You could have been a Christian for ages or for just a few years, your maturity depends on how you go about living out, investigating and investing in your faith in Christ.Continue reading “Maturing as Christians…”
