Blogging’s lowdown

Blogging is a passion of mine. I believe that this is the writer’s hour. With the technology that we have at hand, a regular guy, sitting at Starbucks with his laptop can change the world. Such is the power of the written word. I can influence 30 to 40 people speaking […]

How to transform your ministry through blogging

The time is ripe for bloggers in the Kingdom of God. Bloggers are modern day scribes. Jesus foretold of this day when He said that He would be sending prophets, wise men, and scribes in the end times (link). Some want to jump into the blogging bandwagon, fascinated by the hype […]

Blogging nerdery post

In one of the most significant maintenance sessions in its almost two-year history, wildoxgib.com has had an under-the-radar overhaul that was well-past its due date. Complete nerdery possessed me on my lunch break the “IT support department” and the following cool stuff has been accomplished:-

Updated platform: Wordpress, the blogging platform that I […]

Linkage love

Every now and again two wholly complementary entities end up together. This has now happened and the divine encounter between Quentin Miller and wordpress has made the blogging world is so much the richer!

Introducing Blurb.com - state of the art self-publishing!

Ever wanted to publish your own book? In the past, the first-time author faced a massive startup hurdle, that of having to order at least a 1000-copy print run of their book. That could cost thousands, with the inevitable result of many would-be authors having stuff to write but putting their projects on […]

Bill Johnson: Feasting on words spoken over you

One of my favourite teachers, Pastor Bill Johnson of Bethel Church, Redding California, teaches that one of the secrets of strengthening yourself in the Lord is to treasure God’s spoken word over your life.  When we feast on what God has done, is doing, has spoken or is speaking, we build faith and enourage our […]

Now who still […]

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

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 […]

Celebrate the silence.

To my faithful band of blog readers…The blog is not dead!  Let me just put you at ease from the start.  Due to my study commitments (more specifically the dreaded ASSIGNMENT # 2) I have instructed my blog to meditate for a while and soak in the ethereal realm of contemplative limbo. I know that […]

Vacationing for one week

As from tomorrow I am off on vacation. I shall be in this place - a quaint town in the south of Spain called Chiclana de la Frontera. I will probably be in Internet no mans land so do not expect any blog posts.
