You can ask any AI tool a question and in mere seconds it’ll deliver the sort of comprehensive research that would’ve taken you hours of combing through a library. So our expectations these days are pretty darned high.
I was chatting recently with my pastor, Dave, who with his own hands is about to build a modest extension to his home. One of the reasons he enjoys b...
Okay, time to get in your face today (you’re welcome!). How do you spend your money? More importantly, what criteria do you apply to choosing either the cheaper or more expensive version of something, or to that impulse item that’s just screaming out at you … “buy me!”
If your finances are somewhere between tight and critical, the answer’s pretty simple; you only bu...
Surveys tell us that at least a billion people across the globe have prayed in the past month – now the statistics don’t tell us to whom they prayed or what they prayed about, simply that they did indeed pray.
The Pew Research Center reports that 55% of American adults have prayed in the last 30 days. In the UK, almost half have prayed at least once in their lives, ...
There’s a tendency in the high-tech, fast-moving, AI-driven world in which we live to dismiss the wisdom of our forefathers (if I can use such an old-fashioned word) as being largely irrelevant to the age in which we live.
So many of the self-evident, foundational truths and practices handed down to us through the centuries have been cast aside amidst a kind of “we ...
It’s all too easy to grow weary of doing the right thing. Swimming against the tide is hard work. You just want to give up, to curl up in a ball and hide from the world.
We all need rest, that’s for sure; time and space on our own away from the cut and thrust of day-to-day life – no emails, no messages, no phone calls, rest. Absolutely!

So let me ask you … do you like standing out from the crowd, being noticed, or would you rather just blend into the background? It’s an interesting question, because often the answer depends on which way the wind’s blowing, how you’re feeling, what mood you’re in.
I was watching well known psychologist Jordan Peterson on YouTube recently when he said this: “People d...
Imagine that you’re given an hourglass where each grain of sand represents one hour of the time you have left on this earth in this life. You reach out, turn it over, and the sand begins to fall from top to bottom. What are you thinking about right now as you focus on that image?
There are only so many grains of sand left in that hourglass. There are only so many ho...
Things don’t need to be going all that badly in our lives for us to want to throw ourselves a pity party. “Poor old me.” Don’t get me wrong, I’m not making fun of the trials you’re facing. They’re all too real, I get that. But chronic self-pity is perhaps one of the most destructive forces known to humanity. It’ll consume you.
John McCain was a US Navy pilot shot do...
And now for a complete change of pace from what we’ve been chatting about these past few days. So, question: what’s worse than not finding the marriage partner you long for? Answer, marrying the wrong one!
Okay, maybe you’re not on the hunt for a soulmate. Perhaps you’re already married so it’s a done deal. Even so, doubtless there’s someone in your circle right now...
Most products these days come with some sort of guarantee … and yet some guarantees, let’s be honest, aren’t worth the paper they’re written on.
Back in 1967 though, the World Health Organisation launched an intensive global campaign to eradicate smallpox. They guaranteed that through mass vaccinations and surveillance, they’d eliminate the disease. That was a big c...
There are some people on planet Earth whom I’m certain that none of us would want to meet in heaven – people so vile, so evil, that they couldn’t ever, possibly, make into heaven … surely not!
Purely as a hypothetical, if Adolf Hitler had prayed for God’s forgiveness before taking his own life, would you want God to have forgiven him? Not me!

Have you ever found yourself in circumstances so desperate that you wonder how you’re even going to make it through to tomorrow, or a period of protracted suffering from which there’s no escape?
The Rohingya people are a Muslim minority of some 700,000 who live in the squalor of foreign funded camps in Myanmar (formerly Burma).

Well, that’s it! Easter’s done and dusted for another year … time to put it behind us and get on with life. Now, where was I? Oh yeah, there’s this that needs doing, that that needs doing. It’s time to put away the chocolate and get back to the rat race!
Sure, but the whole point of Easter, the whole point of yesterday – known to many as “Resurrection Sunday” – is t...
There are two types of people in this world – larks and owls; those who love the early mornings and those who love the late nights. It seems that Mary Magdalene was a morning person.
Here’s how it unfolded:
John 20:1-2 Early on Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb. She saw that t...
For most of us, Saturday is a day of rest, or at the very least, a break from our weekly work routine. And if you’re in that regular cadence of working Monday to Friday, the last thing you want to do is to work on Saturday, am I right?
Back in my military days every military establishment was manned 24/7. So, as a junior officer, I’d regularly be rostered on as duty...
Here we are once more on this terrible day called “Good Friday.” How could it possibly be called “good” when it commemorates the death of an innocent man, so that a guilty one (a murderer, no less) could be set free?
Pontius Pilate, as the Roman Governor, had absolute authority over Israel. But the last thing He needed was countless deaths as his soldiers subdued a...
Assassinations … well, they’re as old as time. T’was jealousy that drove Adam and Eve’s son, Cain, to murder his brother, Abel. Okay, so why then did the Jewish religious leaders plot Jesus’ assassination … and why would it matter to you and me, here and now?
Certainly, jealousy and envy were key drivers The crowds flocked to Jesus (and therefore, by definition, awa...
A classic tactic when you want to undermine someone whom you vehemently oppose is (to use a sporting metaphor) to play the man, and not the ball. In other words, you attack the individual rather than his or her actions.
It’s something you see all the time – in politics certainly, in the workplace, in community groups as power plays unfold. In the classic British com...
There are so many people in this day and age who want to get rid of “religion” (I put that in inverted commas deliberately) out of the public square, out of public discourse and debate, out of life altogether. And so many of them are so strident, so vitriolic in doing so, have you noticed?
Of course, there’s nothing new in any of that. The assault of evil upon the g...
Well, as we roll into Easter week, what are you expecting, what are you looking forward to? Perhaps just another long weekend; a bit of a break; a bit more chocolate than you should probably be eating. What are your expectations this Easter?
As mismatched expectations go, I don’t think there’s a greater one than the desire for chocolate Easter eggs on the one hand, ...
