A Christian Curriculum Vitae
In the Christian life it is tempting to try and please God ‘works of righteousness’, appease God by self-sacrifices, or hide from God because of our behaviour. However nothing can remove us from the fact that whoever and wherever we are God is pleased with us.
Starstruck
We have learnt from last year to tread carefully rather than boldly into the darkness of the New Year. However the Magi have lessons to teach us about turning the fickleness of Fate into a Starstruck faith
The Curious Case of the Somnambulent Sheep
At Christmas we sing about shepherds watching over their flocks by night. What were they watching for and why does their response bring us hope as we go through the dark night of Covid…
He’s Not the Messiah
It is a commonplace that ‘the Medium is the Message’ but in the business of proclaiming the Good News history is littered with messengers become Message and so failing to proclaim the Word they came to serve.
Hope for the Hopeless
Sometimes life is so uncertain all that we can do is throw out a prayer in the hope that God is listening and will catch our words. The Good News of Advent and Christmas is that God is waiting to hear us.
King of the Fisherfolk
The King of the Fisherfolk does not wear rich robes but instead travels in disguise and we can only find this Holy Grail when we learn to reach out to help the thirsty and the hungry, the naked and the homeless, the sick and the imprisoned.
Buried Treasure?
The challenge faced by the One Talent Parable is that he forgets it is the Master’s property he is burying not his own. In the Christian life we must remember that we have nothing to offer except the generosity of our Master and if we bury that how will other’s know about God’s love.
Foundation Garments for Christians
When we attend special events or work in hazardous places we take special care over what we wear. To live the faith fully we need to also pay attentions to the foundation garments of our lives which will influence everything else that we do or say
Wounded Healers
Everyone carries wounds.
Some of us are able to turn our wounds into scars and use our hurt to bring healing.
How do we turn personal pain into a passion that puts others first?
