Our Broken Love, God’s Perfect Love
“No fathers or mothers can love their children perfectly. No husbands or wives can love each other with unlimited love. There is no human love that is not broken somewhere… God’s love for us is everlasting. That means that God’s love for us existed before we were born and will exist after we have died.…

Creating Space for God
“Discipline is the other side of discipleship. Discipleship without discipline is like waiting to run in the marathon without ever practicing. Discipline without discipleship is like always practicing for the marathon but never participating. It is important, however, to realize that discipline in the spiritual life is not the same as discipline in sports. Discipline…

All of Christ’s Time, Wisdom and Care… For You!
“The human spirit, while most truly possessing its own individuality and personal distinctness, is interpenetrated and energized by the Spirit of Christ. He does not work on us from without, as one separated from us, but from within, as the very heart from which the life-blood of our spirits flows. Christ’s omnipresence makes it possible…

Where is your tree rooted? (Security)
What is the basis of our security? When we start thinking about that question, we may give many answers: success, money, friends, property, popularity, family, connections, insurance, and so on. We may not always think that any of these forms the basis of our security, but our actions or feelings may tell us otherwise. When…

Book Read: Undaunted
Finished!! Such an inspiring read written by Christine Caine, the Director of the A21 Campaign which rescues women and children from sex trafficking.

Another story finished! This one is about Ed Dobson, retired pastor now living with Lou Gehrig’s disease. I’ve learned much reading this book. A leader once busy teaching and leading others, now forced to rely on others even to simply button his shirts. Chapter titles include… “When God is Silent, Forgiveness, Worry, Healing, Giving Thanks,…

Reversing Your Death Spiral
I attended the Global Leadership Summit this year again. Here’s one golden nugget… Reversing the Death Spiral of a Leader – Dr Henry Cloud (From his book: “Boundaries for Leaders“) Leaders don’t blame, they are instead good stewards and take ownership in leading people. A leader needs to be in charge of him or…

Your Religion Is What You Do With Your Solitude | Cru Press Green
“Usually I’m really good at skimming over great spiritual truths. But for some reason when I read that sentence from Tim Keller’s Counterfeit Gods, it stopped me in my tracks…” Read… Your Religion Is What You Do With Your Solitude | Cru Press Green.

Deep-Spirited Friendships
“Love each other, be deep-spirited friends” (Philippians 2:1, MSG). I have been incredibly blessed by deep-Spirited friends who don’t jump to offer advice, but instead, we employ the power of appropriate questions, extend grace, and openly share our personal journeys of following Jesus, including our triumphs and struggles. It’s taken a bit to get here…

May our longings lead us continually in our loving Creator and Saviour’s direction so that we will indeed arrive into that perfect place of rest, community, completeness…: our eternal home! Walking and talking and learning and growing with Him here and now is a…
