’Esoteric’ and other words we should never use

”Esoteric” refers to language that is only understood by or meant for a select few who have special knowledge that lets them understand it. The word itself is probably unfamiliar to most of us. Let’s hope we never have to read it again! From technical terms used in any specialised…

Using your difference

If you like cooking, chances are you don’t mind letting others eat part of the meal from time to time. If you’re good at administration, chances are you don’t mind organising the odd group outing or balancing a spreadsheet. If you’re good at teaching, chances are you don’t mind sharing…

Winning the battle, but losing the war.

People are always more important than arguments. People are more important than looking clever on Facebook. People have true, permanent value before God. Jesus prayed for his enemies. Jesus loved his enemies. Jesus loved arrogant people who were not open to examining the evidence his life clearly demonstrated. Love covers…

Giving Way

Competing self-interest is the cause for many fights and disagreements among people. When someone gets in the way of what we want to have or achieve then we get frustrated with them. Traffic is a great example.  Whenever we experience ‘traffic’ we’re always contributing to the very problem that’s upsetting…

They are you.

The aftermath of the US Election last week demonstrates how difficult it is for people to see life from someone else’s point of view, especially when they’ve already decided they disagree with them. This becomes almost impossible when emotions from past disappointments are influencing our thinking. It is hard to…

Why can’t my life be easy?

Because life by default is not easy. So, no one’s life is easy. Everybody suffers. Christians, non-Christians, every single person experiences some form of suffering and trial that make life at times, unbearable. I guarantee that the richest, most talented and spoilt among us suffer in ways we can’t imagine.…

Jesus and Blasphemy

As far as the Religious leaders thought, Jesus’ blasphemy was the reason they were sending him to the cross.  We read in chapter 15 what has been obvious throughout the whole Gospel - they hated Jesus, at least in part, because they were envious of his popularity. Jesus’ responses (or…

The Sins of Peter

But he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, “I do not know this man of whom you speak.” And immediately the rooster crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.”…

Good Things Coming To An End

And Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.” - Mark 13:2 Jesus points out to his disciples that despite their admiration of the Temple, such a ‘great’ building would not last,…

Following through fear

Mark 10:32 And they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them. And they were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. On the road to Jerusalem, the great many following Jesus found themselves both amazed and afraid.  Jesus had already expressed twice…
