So it's that time of year again where most people are taking a break from their busy lives and instead will spend some quality time with family and friends.

Spiritual food for thought – Some of you won’t like this but…
We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God - Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Be quick to shut up
How do you find yourself engaging in conflict? Please take some time to really reflect on that question. I believe that many of us who profess to follow Jesus do not reflect him when it comes to how we conduct ourselves behind closed doors when its time to work through conflict.
Born again identity – Equipped and ready to go!
This is the last post in the Born again identity series which I started back in August this year. As I have been reading through the book of Ephesians it feels like I have had a bit of a born again experience when it comes to who I am in Christ. So while it was... Continue Reading →
