What would you say if someone in your town was refused a seat on a bus because they were “too black”? What message would you be sending the world if your city refused university seats on the basis of the candidates being “too black”? How about jobs then? Would you be happy [...]
Sunday mind dump
14Sep08
Attendance was good. There were some new faces in the crowd this morning. Mainly folks who were checking us out. They got whacked, so hopefully they’ll be back for some more FIRE. Overall there is a sense of excitement that is just growing among the people.
There’s this 6 year old fire [...]
On becoming an apostolic people
12Sep08
Friday is for friends here at the WildOx Blog. We cast the spotlight on one of my favourite people on the planet, Pastor Kris Vallotton.
I love Kris Vallotton. He must be one of my favourite people on the planet! I met him in 2005 in Bethel Church, Redding, California and the guy [...]
“Ten steps to a new you!” “Be transformed by the power of positive thinking!” “You can if you think you can!” Heard this all before somewhere? The self-help industry is a multi-billionaire one. I know, I contributed a fair amount of greenbacks to help make it so, purchasing the latest [...]
This evening the pastors of seven churches in Gibraltar met for a discussion with Dr Derek Copley of the European Evangelical Alliance to explore various issues related with the setting up of an evangelical alliance of Gibraltar. The meeting went really well and we have decided to go ahead with the formation of this. [...]
Sunday night mind dump
07Sep08
Attendance was way up this Sunday. I was not able to get a head count but that was certainly the impression that I got from where I was. I suspected that come September, attendance was going to climb.
For worship we only had Jaydan this week but he had his new baby with him!!!!! [...]
Randy Bohlender of Stuff I Think fame has been at it again….he has messed with my head. His message has really become a ‘mess’-age and now I am all undone…..all because he writes about the heart of an 11 year old….that actually lived out the gospel when he “stopped for the one”, and actually made [...]
I am no expert on politics in the US. Don’t get me wrong, I watch CNN, I read up on the candidates, and I am well aware that as America goes, so follows the world, in many areas of life. Lately I have been following both candidates via the miracle of CNN and satellite [...]

Today, I want to give a huge shout-out to my friend, mentor, hero, and all-round super-amazing minister-hot-shot Pastor Steve [...]
The power of doing nothing
04Sep08It was not meant to be this way! I had a fire burning within me, a dream of impacting my city with the message and power of Jesus Christ! In my mind, and in my heart, all systems were go. My internal dialogue went something like this, “You just wait and see….It [...]
This post is only going to appeal to hardcore nerds out there so feel free to skip is if your concept of keeping up with the times is to have a cellphone.
After having sported the minimalistic “all white” theme for my blog for some time now, I have redesigned the blog using a wordpress theme [...]
Excuse me, can I help you?
02Sep08When I first started out in ministry I found myself within a church that had existed for 30 years but had never really had an effective counseling ministry. As part of the leadership team, I gave myself to meeting with people, hearing them out and having some sort of input in their lives. [...]
