The initial email conversations are noteworthy: “… I haven’t been very holy/righteous lately, to say the least… still can contribute? By the way, I notice I’ve been assigned Heb 12:1-14, one of my favourite Bible passages, and also the letter to Titus, which I’ve barely touched. This is going to be interesting! …I feel totally…

I found the format and content of Sacred Space helpful in my own prayer-meditation practice. Today, I went to Pray-as-you-go and was delighted to see resources in Mp3 format. Especially the Preparing to Pray section (which is always the first hurdle for many of us) where there are simple 4 minute guides for breathing exercise…

John 3:7 – 15 A late pastor once remarked that a lot of people go to church to escape reality. He remarked that some people lived a dream life in church while struggling to keep their lives in order. Sounds very much like us sometimes right? We too, seem too preoccupied with the joys of…

John 3:1 – 8 Nicodemus was a closet disciple. He seeks Jesus out, though surreptitiously in the dead of the night. Why? Nicodemus is a “leader of the Jews”, “a teacher of Israel” (3:10), and a member of the religious party most opposed to the teaching of Jesus. In fact, in John 12, the summary…

As vampire movies go, Underworld is one of my favourites. It’s got just the right amounts of action, gothic style, ‘intelligent dialogue’ and adrenaline-pumping thrills. And in the second movie, Underworld: Evolution, we had a powerful vampire lord whose sole mission in life was to discover the whereabouts of his brother, a werewolf, in order…

“Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing…

“There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and…rolled back the stone…(Jesus) has risen from the dead and is going ahead of (the women) into Galilee…they were afraid yet filled with joy…” (Matthew 28:1-8) A colleague of mine showed me an email she wrote as a challenge to…
