Seek…

It is hard to find inspiration to write when you choose to be uninspired. It is hard to listen to God when you choose not to pray. It is hard to know God when your Bible collects dust on the bookshelf..

  • Why BAD people go to Heaven and GOOD people go to Hell

    Most people believe that there is a good place that good people go to when they die; Christians are the exception to this norm as the Bible teaches that it is not the good who get to go to Heaven but actually it is bad people – what?!

  • Seasoned with salt

    “Let your speech be always filled with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how to answer each one (Colossians chapter 4, verse 6)”.

  • Loving God Part 2 – With Heart

    What is a heart? The heart is one of the important parts of the human body that makes people alive.

  • I’m engaged!

    The next General Election in New Zealand is coming up on Saturday 14th October 2023. This is the opportunity that those of us who are 18-years of age or older have to participate in our democratic right to help select those who will govern New Zealand for the next term of three years.

  • Life after death

    We know we are mortal. Our lives have a ‘deadline’. Life on earth as we know it will not go on forever (my mind wanders to that well-known song by Freddy Mercury).

  • Allergies and Scaffolding

    I’ve had allergies for a long time. I was around 14 when I had my first serious allergic reaction to a friend’s cat. Since then, I’ve tolerated having allergies and built various behavioural patterns to accommodate the allergies e.g., generally staying away from cats.

  • A Ticket for Two

    I can’t stand crying babies. Crying children. I just can’t handle crying.

  • Long Live the King?

    This month for the first time in 70 years there was a coronation for a new British monarch. This momentous occasion included much fanfare and celebration with people from all over Britain and even the world celebrating King Charles the third’s ascension to the throne.

  • Beep, beep, in the car

    It is uncoincidental that Imogen Heap’s “The Happy Song” is the most played song in our home. The effect it has on our young son is almost comical.

  • Prayers answered (or not)

    I realise and acknowledge that answered prayers can be a sensitive topic. This is in no way the absolute way of understanding this or how God works. I pray and hope that using the 5 Ws and H framework to offer different perspectives will be a helpful way to consider situations we face.

  • The Cancel Culture of Entertainment

    This is a part-rant, part-existential crisis on how I spend my time. I don’t know about you, but I love watching Netflix shows. (Seemingly) endless options to choose from at a decent monthly subscription rate. What’s the question?
