There's a fine line, isn't there, between boldness and arrogance? Boldness is a courageous confidence rooted in purpose, humility, conviction. Arrogance, on the other hand, is rooted in a self-centred pride.

In short, arrogance pushes others down; boldness lifts truth up. Boldness honours God and others; arrogance merely honours self.

I, like you, have often thought to myself, "Shouldn't it be easier than this?" Well, shouldn't it? Why is life such a grind sometimes? Why do we have to carry these heavy burdens? Why can't it be easier than this?

You've doubtless heard it said that life wasn't meant to be easy, which is all well and good until you find yourself going through a rough patch. Surely if...

There can sometimes be a gap between our talk and our walk; between saying something that sounds great and following through to do what we said we were going to do. We all know that … but do we really know it?

Back when I was an IT consultant, getting things done for my clients by and large involved analysing their needs and convincing their senior management of a pr...

Duplicity and unfaithfulness are personal attributes that we don't warm to. And rightly so. Who wants to be associated with someone who's two-faced, who hides their intentions, who in the end will betray you?

John F. Kennedy is remembered as one of America's great presidents. He married Jacqueline Bouvier in 1953. Yet despite publicly expressing great admiration and ...

Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and thought, "Well, if I'd made me, I'd have done it differently?" And not just your appearance, but your personality, your family, your suffering along the way, your current situation. What would you have done differently, had you been God?

We don't have to think too long to answer that, because we all have stuff we wis...

Imagine for a moment that someone receives an organ transplant that saves their life. Great. But then after the operation, they continue in the same lifestyle that caused their own organ to fail in the first place. Not very smart, right?

Well actually, we don't have to imagine. George Best was a renowned Irish footballer who underwent a liver transplant in 2002, due ...

There are times when something truly important in our lives hangs in the balance – a critical health issue, a marriage, a financial peril, whatever it happens to be. And it's in those times that most people will pray. It's in those times that most will cry out to God.

I have a good friend who married a smart, successful woman. In fact, they've both achieved so much i...

Have you noticed how busy people seem to be these days? Even just organising a catchup with an old friend … by the time you get your respective diaries together, it's like three months out. And then, the week before, they cancel on you.

Here's a thought. The way someone fits you into their schedule says a lot about what they think of you. And, putting the shoe on the...

Have you ever watched someone say or do something so stupid and thought to yourself, "If only they could see how stupid they look!"? Just as well you and I never behave like that. Yeah, right!!

Self-awareness is knowing what's driving us, what pride or hurt from the past, what selfishness or desire is causing us to behave the way we are.

There's nothing worse than a toxic, self-centred leader because the power of their position magnifies their toxicity, causing damage, wreaking havoc, hurting people far and wide.  

You don't have to be a president, prime minister, billionaire or media mogul to be a leader. We're all leaders in some sense – as parents, as people responsible for this or that in the wor...

None of us likes to hang out with difficult, objectionable, toxic people. Yet some days, it seems like you're surrounded by them. And every fibre of your being screams, "I have to get away from them." You know that feeling, right?

Now sure, you can find yourself in a destructive relationship – a narcissistic boss, an abusive marriage partner – where you just have to ...

Some people, let's face it, are downright objectionable. The moment you meet them, you come to the conclusion that you want to spend the rest of your life without them. Their lives are messy. Their attitudes are toxic. The easiest thing to do is to steer clear of them.

Nicky Cruz was a violent New York gang leader, hardened by abuse and hatred. When preacher David Wi...

It seems that these days the louder people shout, the more others listen –  even if they're in the minority, even if what they're espousing lies somewhere between lunacy and extremism. If they disagree with you, they want to shut you down, cancel you out, erase you from the public square. And that's incredibly intimidating.

In many parts of the world, it's become una...

There are times when evil strikes at us from the outside, in … people, circumstances, systems, social trends that attack the good that we're trying to do. It's happened to you too, right? But there's nothing new in any of that.

Not many years after Jesus had walked this earth, His Apostles were out there doing good.

'Evil', I think you'd agree, is a strong word. So there are not many things in our lives to which we'd ascribe that label – 'evil'. A murderer, sure. A child abuser, absolutely. But stuff in our own lives? Not really.

And yet, we can all look back at some particularly bad things we've done – perhaps there are one or two still lingering in your life; husbands who unth...

Let's face it, some days you just don't feel like showing up; for whatever reason – and there are many – you just don't feel like playing the game. Some days, staying in bed feels by far the best option. Some days …

The day that I prepared today's short message, I definitely didn't feel like showing up. I was just getting over a chest infection and I felt awful. But ...

There's absolutely nothing, it seems, that can beat a good run in life. You know, when you have a period of weeks or months when everything seems to be falling into place – your finances, your health, your family, your relationships. Everything just clicks. Fantastic!

You and I, we're surrounded by so many talented people, aren't we? People who can do things we could never do; who've achieved things we'll never achieve; who have their lives so together that it beggars belief.

Look, much of that talent is somehow baked into them; it emanates from their very DNA. My friend Lorraine who's the most gifted violinist. My old friend Laur...

Can I ask you to cast your mind back over all the mistakes – big and small – that you've made in your life. Financial, health, relationships, career, pride … the whole lot. Doubtless, like me, you could write a book about them.

Those mistakes can weigh heavily on our hearts. Have you let go? Have you forgiven yourself? Or are the consequences still robbing you of you...

According to latest estimates, there are over 5 million podcasts and 600 million blogs out there, collectively publishing nearly 8 million episodes and posts a day. That's on top of "traditional media" where true journalism has largely been displaced by carefully crafted spin … so many people throwing ideas – good and bad –  at us … it's hard to know what to believe anymore.
