176 blog posts, 2014-2020. Each with a URL and QR code for easy sharing. Over the last 6 years I have enjoyed posting reflections about Jesus Christ, and his life-changing Gospel. We write on ‘paper’, and indeed the Bible is a ‘written Word’. But Jesus Christ is the ‘Word made flesh’ (John 1:14), and He came to come alive in your heart by His Spirit – the Word off the page...

Jesus – ‘God with us’ (Matthew 1:23) – came to be ‘to’ and ‘through’ us. This is a gift from God. He refreshes our soul, and then flows through us to the world around us. He gives us purpose, power, direction – every day, now and forevermore. Jesus gave people not only truth to believe, but paths to follow, and Spirit to minister. He told us that believing in him, streams of living water would flow – not just over us, to refresh us, but from within us, to water life around us. ‘… life that is truly life.’ (1 Timothy 6:19) Cover photo by Jack Walker: @jack.dw

‘God, don’t leave us here!’ My friend, Brian, had whispered this prayer the night before. Just outside his door there had been a violent, cold-blooded fight. Many against one, kicking the young guy unconscious. Brian’s one line resonated with my soul. It expressed my own heart’s cry at many times, with many feelings of fear in this world. After hearing Brian put this cry into words, it was a prayer I whispered many times after that. It's OK to pray like this. It’s OK to feel like this. Prayers in the Bible press even harder: ‘How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How ...

Collection of 14 essays, and named after the most important essay in the collection. I hope you enjoy these reflections, and that they encourage you in your faith in Jesus Christ. (Matthew 6:22) www.1peter1three.weebly.com

God looks for you. He searches for you. Jesus notices when you’re not there, and he leaves the crowd, the event, to find you. I hope God’s words and love come off these pages and stay with you, as ‘spirit and life’. (Excerpt) Introduction: To heal the blind man, Jesus spat in the ground, made a paste in the mud, and smeared this mud in the sockets of the man’s eyes. He asked the man if he could see. Not clearly, he said. Jesus put his hands on him again to finish this work of healing.[1] It is also interesting that Jesus did this in private (took the man ‘outside the village’)...

You can only see what you see. This sounds obvious, but determines everything. What you see determines where you go and what you do. Do you see a path ahead? You see it, therefore you head in that direction. You don’t see it, you go elsewhere… Do you ‘see’ value or meaning in this career? You ‘go’ in that direction. You invest, study, sacrifice, meet up with… The light in your eyes – your physical eyes – gets you out of the woods, the literal woods. And the light in your mind, in your heart, connects you to life choices and relationships.

(excerpt from the text) '... This is critical, my friends, the issue of what we can and do know regarding sin andsuffering, and what we don’t and can’t know. We got to stay in our ‘truth’ lane.There will be paradoxes in our understanding, and therefore (hopefully!) inour communications and interactions with people. This is good! In some areasof God’s revelation, to be true to it, we must be limited, this far and no further, thisclear and no clearer… We’re called to weep with those who weep, not to tell themthat God ordained the disaster, and has a plan in it. If that truly ...

Terri’s cancer had returned. I had the honor of meeting weekly with Terri to talk about faith, about Jesus, life here and life to come. Our times together were the highlight of my week, lasted just over a year, and then Terri went to be with the Lord. In this short book I recount some of our conversations together, and Scriptures we discussed. I know Terri would have liked to share more of her faith with family and friends, particularly as she experienced it in her final months. It is my hope that this memoir serves that purpose. In loving memory of Theresa Molloy, 10th March 1950 – 7th...

Jesus asked us to have faith in him. He did not just want ‘belief’, he wanted faith. Faith is a mysterious thing. In this short booklet we’ll consider what Jesus really meant by asking us to have faith, and how to take that step of faith. At the end of this booklet there are ten journal reflections, so you can consider some words of Jesus and write down your own thoughts. Let’s get started!

The purpose of life, for every man, woman and child, is to reach out and find God. To know him – now and forevermore. ‘God created all people, so that they would search for him, reach out for him and find him.’ (Acts 17:25-27) And this last verse ends by saying: ‘And he is not far from each one of us.’ Is it time in your life to seek God, and find him? Is it time in your life to make peace with God, now and forevermore? Jesus said, ‘I am the door…’ (John 10:9)

20 reflections to help you grow in your new life with Christ. 'Jesus himself came up and walked along with them…’ (Luke 24:15) www.1peter1three.weebly.com

God has put eternity in the hearts of all people. (Ecclesiastes 3:11) When we open the door of our hearts to Jesus Christ, he moves through our mind and our spirits, now and forevermore. In the Scriptures God has given us access to the deep things of his truth and his own Spirit. In this booklet I share some thoughts and Scriptures to help us know more of God - not only in word and thoughts, but in 'spirit and truth'. (John 4:24)

Introduction: Ruins fascinate me. Especially castles and palaces where someone arrogant once ruled, once roared, but now cannot even whisper. They cannot stop even the fading of their memory amongst the living. Memory, only a thing in the minds of mortals, and all mortals destined to die. I’ve heard death described as ‘humiliating’ to mankind. It just happens – heart, mind and body – and there is nothing anyone can do about it. And no matter how high the towers you built, the tomes of wisdom you published, the vaults of money you had or gave away, you disintegrate and disperse ...

When we enter through the Gate of Jesus - by repentance and faith - we enter into his eternal kingdom. In that moment, we become citizens of heaven. Yes, we still find ourselves here on earth, but everything has changed. Earth is no longer our home nor our future. Once we belonged to this world, and it was all we had, all we could invest in and build. But now we belong to a different kingdom, we serve a different king, and we live to advance his kingdom.

A short booklet that asks this most important question.

Mozliwe, ze jestes zly na Boga albo obecnie w niego nie wierzysz. A moze wierzysz w Boga, ale zostales zraniony. Moze jestes muzulmaninem, wyznawca hinduizmu, buddysta lub innego wyznania. Byc moze jestes w zupelnie innym miejscu, którego nawet ty nie potrafisz okreslic... Niezaleznie od tego, przyjacielu, jak sie czujesz i gdzie jestes, Bóg Biblii - od pierwszej do ostatniej ksiegi - zaprasza cie, a nawet "prosi", bys zapytal: "Kim jest Jezus?"
