Zion, We Have a Problem

We have to move beyond our contentment with merely a ‘point of view’. We need the prophetic unction of the speaking Voice that kindly cuts & brings us to our knees. A lost, wandering sheep, straying near to the edge of a 1000ft drop, in a misty storm, wouldn’t be reassured by a vague, difficult-to-hear,Continue reading “Zion, We Have a Problem”

Still, wooed by curiosity and the acting excellence of Joaquin Phoenix, I decidedContinue reading “Joker: The Film”

15 Lessons From My Social Media Sabbatical

Facebook/Twitter/Instagram are not worthy of more than a little of my time. Always bless those who persecute & don’t curse (lash back at) them in response. (Romans 12:14). Sharing compulsively via social media is a huge enemy of prayer. Speaking/writing remains absolutely essential. (Jeremiah 20:9). Expect misunderstanding and judgment especially from nominal, lukewarm, denominationally-blinkered Christians.Continue reading “15 Lessons From My Social Media Sabbatical”
