Every day with God in 2018 part 2
Complete strangers felt like Jesus had known them for years because he articulated back to them the deepest reasons why they had come. To know Jesus is to internalize his love in a way that allows us to answer the spiritual poverty in others. Only one thing is necessary, time with the Lord. As we […]

As usual, every year I try to keep a daily spiritual journal and as such I also every year take one month out to look over past entries. Of course, it’s far later this year, because to be quite honest I’ve been flat out. (You may have noticed far fewer articles published this year.) But […]

A few years ago now I was first asked to recommend a list of books that I thought were the 10 best books I’d ever read covering all aspects of fruitful Christian living. This is the third time I have updated the list. New stuff added to the list is highlighted in bold. Can I […]

Some you may find amazing, some perhaps a little ho-hum, but if you are encouraged, remember 2 things. 1: I give God the credit for every one; these things only came to me in the prayerful space as I was meditating on the Scriptures. 2: This can be you too. In other words, this is what happens when we trust God that if we take the time out to pursue him intentionally in our own time, in private, he WILL meet with us

One of the pleasures of being a new parent is the experience of showing your child things for the very first time. So yesterday, Alycia and I decided to take Joshua to the viewing platform at Perth airport for him to see his first aeroplane. It’s actually a great spot as you can just come an […]
