Write down the vision……that [you] may run…

“ Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it.” (Hab. 2:2)
Those of you who know me know that I am HUGE on time management. I feel that one of the ways that we dishonor the Lord the most is by not managing our […]

Are you aiming for it rather than him?

We crave stuff. We desire different things, and we direct the focus of our efforts to attain what we desire. Often this is imported into our walk of faith. And let me say first-off that this is good. Desire is what creates spiritual hunger that motivates us to […]

Anita Roddick’s advice for entrepreneurs - an insight for church planters?

In an interview with CNN, Anita Roddick, founder of “The Body Shop”, discusses the issue of training for entrepreneurs. Among other things Anita has some very direct and frank advice for the budding entrepreneur:
Don’t go to business school. You don’t find … you don’t … learn to know that business or be taught that […]

Harvestime School of Ministry: Our bible study distintives / guidelines

In this recent post I mentioned that our distinctive DNA will fuel the Harvestime “Seminary Without Walls” that we are launching.
we seek not information, but encounter; we seek not knowledge but communion; our interest is not in dazzling with brilliance - we seek to be undone by majesty; we seek not to hold our heads […]

What too much contemplative bible reading/praying can do to your head

Side-note:  I just realized that my blog was totally warped when viewed by Internet Explorer.  Those of you who insist on using that lame thing for the Internet, you have my apologies (But not my empathy) - If you [must] use Windows then at least use this browser to surf the net.  Your PC gremlins […]

Words I do not want my wife to read….

Now and again I read a post that highlights areas in my heart and life that do not line up with me and my big mouth. Gary Lamb has written an excellent piece on his blogs about men (especially pastors, leaders and church planters) covering and protecting their better halves.
“Church planter, listen to me. […]

The Centre

It is 6:00AM – I am sitting on my sofa in the lounge with cup of coffee in hand, my bible and silence! This is the centre of my day. This is where I recharge and I connect with my creator - in the silence and peace of the morning. Good morning Holy Spirit – […]

Note from Heidi

It is always good to hear from you. Friends are our greatest treasures in this world. I really appreciate your praying for me. I know I could not get through things in Mozambique with out prayer. I love what God is doing here, but things have been super stressful financially. I believe God allows lean […]

“The honest man” they are calling him

Controversy aside over General Sir Richard Dannatt’s view of the war in Iraq, in an interview with Britain’s Daily Mail, it was his comments on British society that for me deserve a shout-out from this platform. I am specifically avoiding the issue of the war, and all its surrounding controversy. […]

Update: Harvestime School of Ministry

We have just kicked-off our first course in our two-year long “Harvestime” program. This “Bible-school without walls” is a bit of a work-in-progress / leap-of-faith / dummy-run for us. We have six study groups that are going to be covering the course material. Three groups are based in Gibraltar, three in Spain. […]

The penguin and me.

Yes my friends … the inevitable has happened.  I have fallen in love … with a penguin.  After a long on-off relationship with it, after much walking-out and steps of faith , the penguin now lives with me.  Who would’a thunk it?  Tux now inhabits and manages the bowels of my laptop, and my desktop […]
