Peace Like A River

The continuous noise of life seems to have become a louder continuum for many people over the last few years, perhaps more so than I have experienced in recent decades..

  • The journey of the soul

    Did you exist before you existed?

  • Unhealthy guilt: When our best doesn’t seem enough

    Recently I’ve found myself feeling guilty all the time. It feels as if it’s not good enough even when I try to do my best.

  • God is in control

    “All my life You have been faithful, All my life You have been so, so good With every breath that I am able, I will sing of the goodness of God”.

  • Your mind is your prison

    “God, send me anywhere, only go with me. Lay any burden on me, only sustain me. And sever any tie in my heart except the tie that binds my heart to Yours.” David Livingstone

  • Unqualified Faith

    Faith traverses mountains of impossibility and valleys of disappointment. It encounters both peace and chaos.

  • Ten wonders of the Bible

    A radio interviewer asked me recently why the Bible was so significant for me. I responded by reminding him of the ‘Ten Wonders of the Bible’- only God could bring these things about.
