The joy is impeccable to be getting back to writing and blogging often (hopefully more than last year) 2019 had been a great year, looking back at the victories, the challenges, the lessons learnt and the intimacy with God that grew and renewed, at the same time. … Continue reading Engage and train
How God initiates a MAN!
A young man once lamented to me, “I’ve been a Christian since I was five — no one ever showed me what it means to really be a man.” He’s lost now. He moved across the country to be with his girlfriend, but she’s dumped him because he doesn’t know who he is and what he’s here for. There … Continue reading How God initiates a MAN!

When they’d see those passages about Jesus telling people to give up everything, … Continue reading What am I Worshipping?
Desperate for Initiation

Matthew 7:3-4 NIV “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
