Just thinking…There is a nugget of wisdom in the Bible that says this: There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death (Proverbs 14:12). It reminds me of a funny little ditty called ‘The Spellchecker’. I have a spelling chequer It came with my pea sea It…

It’s ironic, then, that tradition has so wrapped around our understanding of both the first Christmas and of Heaven itself, that much of what we think about each stems more from tradition than from scripture. A donkey? An innkeeper? Only three wise men?…

Just thinking…This last week much of my discussions with young adults and youth have focused around the rapper Kanye West. This has sprung from the recent release of his gospel album “Jesus Is King”; quite an action from the man who claimed to be “a god” in 2014, and whose track record shows anything but…
