Friends

I have a simple thought: Everyone needs good friends. Good friends are reflection of our gifts and flaws and they are with us throughout every season of our lives. .

  • When being Christian makes you less Christlike

    In light of the comments some time back by US Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Romans 13 and the plight of people seeking asylum, I have been reminded to think about what it means to be Christian.

  • Are you a 2-D or 3-D Christian?

    Recall when you were going to school and had classes in geometry. (Yes, I can hear you groaning…but bear with me!) In geometry we learned about the shape of objects and learned to visualise them in one, two or three dimensions.

  • Words: When a Leader Makes a Mistake

    The news is constantly reporting the lives of people in authority. Sharp eagle eyes are ever on our nation's prime minister and leaders. Pastors are under scrutiny and their actions, more often the negative ones, are highlighted in the media, just like the trending news of a megachurch pastor’s affair with a teenage church member.

  • The Idea of 'Relationship'

    In theology, the words ‘relationship with the Lord’ conveys a most outrageous idea, something that is beyond the imagination of man, that the Lord God of the universe delights in a one-to-one relationship with each individual man, woman, boy and girl.

  • Calling a Time on Terror was Too Soon

    Two years ago, I wrote in this column that we may be witnessing a revolution. I commented that out of the then recent spate of bloodshed and terror a movement of hope is emerging. French Muslim leaders refused to bury priest-killer Adel Kermiche after he murdered 86 years old priest Father Jacques Hamel last July.

  • The Idea of “Faith”

    In theology, the word ‘Faith’ conveys a most astonishing idea, something that is contrary to everything that we would normally consider as being physically and scientifically reliable.

  • Does Androgyny Presage Disaster? or When Harry Thinks He’s Sally, is the End Nigh?

    According to Professor Camille Paglia, (Feminist & Lesbian) in her recent book “Free Women, Free Men,” Androgyny portends the imminent destruction of Western civilization. Before we explore the wide frontiers of this ominous prediction, let me unpack it for you.

  • The Idea of 'Grace'

    In theology, the word ‘Grace’ conveys a most alarming idea, something that is contrary to everything that we would normally consider as fair and just.

  • Dream Small

    “Good to Great!” “Smarter, Faster, Better!” “How to stop doubting your greatness and start living an awesome life!” Self-help books abound telling us how we can become smarter, prettier, more likeable, and generally all around amazing so that we will be able to start business empires, become massively popular, and rich!

  • Those Pesky Labels

    I grew up with a black and white Christianity. A “this is right—and that is wrong” approach to the world. For instance, alcohol and homosexuality were bad, attending church good and praying daily even better.

  • Being a Truth Teller

    Maarametua Williams has been off the drug P for 18 months and is now helping others leave P behind.
