It’s all about maturity! (laughter breaks out…) Sorry for that rather poor joke, but that’s me. Anyway back to my point. Holiness has really been on my radar of late, so I started reading a book by J.I Packer called “Rediscovering Holiness” and this little blog is inspired by it (just don’t get angry with [...]

“For: The Essentials Formation Online Worship Values Course with Dan Wilt“ So this week I have been thinking about what inspires me, and also what deflates me, or takes the wind out of my sails. I think it’s so important that we live our lives inspired because life can be so draining and de-motivating. If life [...]
What does holiness look like in an unreligious context? I’m part of a great community of believers/friends/family where everyone is free to be themselves with all of junk. We give each other room to have issues and yet to also be working through them with Jesus and the Spirit’s help and our mates cheering us [...]
Of late I have been struggling with leading worship. You see I’m the conscientious kind of person who tries to give my best effort every time.But I have been feeling frustrated because we don’t seem to be engaging God as I would like. So the usual tendency is to try harder, pick better, more hip [...]

How does accountability help our worship you might ask? Try this little experiment, walk into your favourite shop, with a bunch of cash (even if you can’t afford) and count how many seconds it takes for you to justify buying something.

I was listening to a teaching the other day by Arthur Burke, I actually met up with him when I was States side. He was just sharing how “the first person you take your victories and failures to, is the person you will be most intimate with.” Now that is some loose quoting, but if [...]

Why is it that we find worship so hard as a way of life? It’s hard enough in church when we are there, worship team in front of us and people around us are clapping, raising their hands etc. Our mind’s though aren’t confined to the 4 walls of a church building, and neither are our hearts. We can be worried, tired, distracted etc. and I haven’t even mentioned Monday morning!

“For: The Institue of Contemporary and Emerging Worship Studies, St. Stephens University, Essentials Red Online Worship Theology Course with Dan Wilt.” For worship to be a lifestlye, life has to change. Not because we aren’t worshipping, we worship like we breathe, we just do it, the problem is we worship all sorts of inferior things. Worship then becomes the [...]
