The buzz is “Britney”. Britney this, Britney that. Singer, dancer, actress, author and songwriter. Pop diva with a suicide note. Fallen star. Rehab. Troubled singer. Out of control. It’s a feeding frenzy for the gossip columns and total dismay for her fans. She has sold over 83 million records and been idolised around the world [...]

Having waxed lyrical about ‘order’ I realise I need to bring you up to speed on why the subject has caught my attention. As I travel internationally I look for simple ways to communicate important ideas. In speaking about Family I realise that many people have lost sight of God’s intended design for the family. [...]

I am impressed by order. Order leads to systems which facilitate productivity. When things are set in order they can be used, attended to, understood, accessed and otherwise put to advantage.
When order is lost then it can take all day just to find something, or processes can be tripped up by inefficiencies. However, productivity almost always [...]

Faith is something I give attention to and from time to time I reflect on the practical issues of faith as a lifestyle. This reflection is a fresh way to communicate what “living by faith” is all about. But before I get to that, let me back track with you and give you a couple [...]

I build my life and ministry activities around what I know from the Bible. And that must seem incredibly strange to a lot of people who have been indoctrinated into thinking that the Bible is some kind of irrelevant relic of yester-year.
Over the years I have been bombarded with many of the claims and attacks [...]

With recent discussions about Marriage Poems I decided to try wriing something a little more romantic than my normal fare. I realise that many of my Marriage Poems lack that certain romantic element many people are looking for. So this is an attempt to create something that is more readily consumable in the wider arena.

Fathers are the idols of young children. Solomon observed that the “glory of children are their fathers” (Proverbs 17:6). And we readily see this among young children. “My dad is stronger than your dad”, is what other boys said to me when I was just a young lad. I would tell them how strong and [...]

Have you been told, “It’s Your Life!” Well, don’t be fooled by that idea. Yes, you have a free will. You can make your own bed and you will have to lie on it. But that doesn’t make you your own property, nor your life your own life.
Part of the destruction of young lives is [...]

A young lad once asked his father, “Why did you choose HER to be my mother?”
The father was stuck. He did not choose the boy’s mother to be a mum, but to be his sexual partner. The man was young, irresponsible and ungodly. He only thought about himself and what would make him happy. His [...]
