To be a man after God's own heart. Then to lead, labour, inspire and encourage others to be the same
One of my favourite ways to connect to God is through worship, for me this goes back to my teenage years. It was in a moment of worship that I encountered God and believed that He had a plan for me. It was only when I reached the age of 18 that I started delving…
Sorry for a quiet week of posts (or lack of!) I promise I’ve got a meaty one lined up! In the meantime I wanted to briefly share a song that blessed me tonight: knowing You Jesus , by Graham Kendrick. It’s largely based off Philippians 3. I count all I once held dear as garbage…
In case you haven’t heard, I’m studying the Bible! If you’ve got yourself an ESV study Bible, you’ll notice there’s about 50 odd pages of introductions before you actually get to Genesis 1:1.

In order to complete this section I used Biblegateway to find all the passages where Righteousness and Justice were mentioned and then did a limited topical Bible study on these sections. Before going into the study I want to talk about the connection between worship and justice mentioned in Isaiah 1. These verses didn’t come…
I want to praise my God. Publicly, not for my benefit, but because He has blessed me richly. I am married to a beautiful woman, who loves God and is actively pursuing His calling on her life, who writes fantastic music and spurs me on in my faith. We live in a fantastic apartment, and…
