When I talk to someone about Christian things, I usually talk about what I have seen and heard. I share my experiences, and my theories about God, about Jesus, about the world, about people, according to ‘what makes sense’ in the real world. If I had to choose between accepting that horses exist or that [...]
In the world every minute: 100 people die and of them 30 are Christians; 250 people are born and of them 70 are born to Christians. In any of those minutes Jesus may appear to call an end to the proceedings of the people on this earth. How many people will greet him as a [...]
Capitalism is not superior but it is dominant, it is not better but it is here to stay. Capitalism cannot co-exist with non-capitalism, since its primary goals are to expand, change and dominate towards capital growth. Our current struggle with capitalism is to train it towards sustainability… it has for so long been a vicious [...]
Quite often when I write a blog or comment, I am in danger of making the kingdom of God all about me. Starting from myself (questions, revelations, unsolved problems) I look to God’s man of revelation Jesus Messiah for a solution, a parable, a glimpse into the heartbeat of God himself.

If you’ve ever seen a documentary on space; the stars, galaxies and the ever expanding universe… you will begin to feel very small. For example, if there was a ribbon of flat land all the way around the earth on the equator, and you were to one day start out walking around the earth. If [...]
Is what I say of God my notion of him? Perhaps I have been shielded from ministry because of the selfish motives with which I wish to preach Christ. Or more correctly, God is protecting his sheep. I have recently learnt that God’s righteousness came to men as an unwanted gift. People did not contribute [...]
Studies and books about the historicity of the Bible can often be boring – This article approaches the subject in an unique way, and from an entertaining angle. This article is the basis for a new book that is being presently written . . . I would certainly appreciate any and every comments and thoughts regarding its content.
Recently I came across a section of the story about Jesus as written by the author Luke (Luke 12:13-34), where Jesus was advising his listeners to be rich toward God rather than storing up money (v21). He uses an illustration of a man whose crop harvest had been particularly fruitful one season, so he decided [...]
I had a conversation the other night with some Christian brothers about working hard to make more money. Is it wrong to become rich? What does it mean to be rich? One Christian we have usually assigned authority to and so agree with was known as Paul the Apostle. Some of what he said regarding [...]
Christ lives in us. When the Jewish people lived in ancient times God lived among them. When God’s son Jesus was born he dwelt among the people. The most powerful being in the universe has always made the decision to live among people and inside people… this is who he is. Our problem has always [...]
