In the week that has followed International Women’s Day, I have read with interest some very impressive statistics on the progress women have made over the years. Earning the right to vote, ascension to leadership in Fortune 500 companies, success in male-dominated professions and legislation protecting safety, pay scales and employment access were in theContinue reading “Women’s rights & freedom of responsible choice”

What advertising agencies do for their clients, we’re called to do for Christ.
Originally published on Christ Notes – Week of 23 October 2013 You’ve probably heard these slogans: “Just do it,” “Drivers wanted,” and “It’s everywhere you want to be.” And you’ve almost certainly heard of Nike, Volkswagen, and Visa; however, you probably have never heard of the advertising agencies that coined those slogans: Wieden & Kennedy;Continue reading “What advertising agencies do for their clients, we’re called to do for Christ.”
Prayers of a man in prison
In an earlier post, I observed that the church’s mission goes beyond our preferences and perceptions of how, where and who to serve. The church’s mission is rooted in Jesus’ command in the great commission defined in Matthew 28 v 19 – 20 to teach others about who God is and what it means to followContinue reading “Prayers of a man in prison”
When God sends you to the dogs and pigs
A few years ago, my parents had just returned home from church on Easter Sunday. They were met at their gate by two people who were going door to door, and in their words, “making disciples, teaching others to observe all that Jesus commanded in the great commission.” My father pointed out that his wasContinue reading “When God sends you to the dogs and pigs”

Part 1: The limitless potential of the child of God
I am burdened that far too many Christians believe that they are limited. I firmly believe that there is no limit to our God given potential. The Child of God is a miracle – an expression of God’s supernatural transforming power, embodying miracles waiting to happen – as God continues to manifest his His power and blessingsContinue reading “Part 1: The limitless potential of the child of God”
Stop oppressing women in the Church
The Bible exalts women. The Bible applauds and honours the role of women in the home and in the society. The Bible is filled with examples of women whose influence and actions have served to fulfil God’s plan and purpose for His Church and the world. Women play prominent roles in many key biblical narrativesContinue reading “Stop oppressing women in the Church”
Confront what is false, receive what is true
In an earlier post, I used the story of Naaman’s healing in 2 Kings 5, to highlight how God can use people, considered unlikely sources, to bring His blessings to people in need. I also pointed out that material things and psychological and social barriers can threaten the flow of God’s blessings. Continuing with theContinue reading “Confront what is false, receive what is true”
A lesson in grace from a sermon and prision visit
Although I cannot remember the exact date, it is a day I will never forget. On a warm day in fall, a sermon was preached on the parable of the workers in the vineyard (Matthew 20 verses 1- 16) that set me off on a journey that led me to a deeper understanding of God’s grace, andContinue reading “A lesson in grace from a sermon and prision visit”
