To be a man after God's own heart. Then to lead, labour, inspire and encourage others to be the same
Three things that stood out to me from last week’s Bible Readings Deuteronomy 20 – talks a lot about whittling down the size of the army. It rings a similar tune to another Bible story. But these are God’s rules for battle. He dismisses the newly married, the new house owners, the new parents (all…
Apologies, had a very chilled out weekend, and didn’t want to spoil the lazy days with some writing effort. Nevertheless, I have had a pretty fantastic week, so it definitely is worth sharing, remembering and archiving for a future self to enjoy later on! Who I saw!? Lockdown rules are slowly lifting and we can…

It takes faith to keep the Sabbath. We need faith that God is going to look after our work while we rest. He is in control and never grows weary. We need faith that God’s timing is right. As Gandalf said a wizard is never late nor is he early. Sometimes we are tempted to…
I didn’t get round to tracking the exact locations of each of my readings this week. But I’m using Luke as my NT, and Deuteronomy as OT, didn’t get anything too significant from the Psalm/Proverbs passages this week.

Wife is cooking Sunday meal right now, so I’ve got no excuses for not getting a Sunday summary blog out this week! Who I’ve seen?!

Numbers 25:7-15 Phinehas – passion and zeal for God’s name. Takes immediate action upon those elements he spots contrary to Gods honour! I want to be the same with elements that casually waltz into my “camp”. Notice as well that the two sinners in this passage were both leaders. Higher accountability and expectations for those…
This week has been so eventful! Unfortunately I can’t talk too much about the bits that are really juicy. Perhaps next week. Instead of a lengthy one this week, we’re going to keep it short and sweet. (I’ll make up for it next time!) What I’m waiting for…John Piper’s Providence, has ironically been set back…
In the UK everyone is raving about how we’ve been in lockdown for a whole year as of today. In my (remote) office we’re all exchanging jokes about how we thought this would all be over by Autumn. For me, I remember the first thing I did on my last day in the office 1…
