Asking for wisdom (James 1:1-8)

This week I started a new series of studying the book of James for myself. I haven’t got very far (it’s only been 2 days, after all), but as I reflected on the opening verses of this epistle, I felt I should share my thoughts. My reason is not that I think my reflections areContinue reading “Asking for wisdom (James 1:1-8)”

New Beginnings

It’s a time of new beginnings!

I now work in a church with some of the most marginalised people in my church, and outside of it, and I love it. But as I readContinue reading “A Challenge”

In so doing, I must seek God’s guidance and look to hear His voice directing my steps. This week is a particularlyContinue reading “A Personal Psalm”

Reflections on the repairing of broken walls

All of us need walls as a defence against the pains and battles of life, for we are vulnerable, dependent beings. We were not created to be self-sufficient, independent and powerful against all things. We were created to live in God’s garden, to walk with the LORD in the “cool of the day”, and to live in theContinue reading “Reflections on the repairing of broken walls”
