In Ford’s “Theology: A very short introduction”[1] an insightful concept was offered that should be considered here. In his discussion on salvation, Ford used the word ‘intensification’.

I found The Matrix of Christian Ethics by Patrick Nullens and Ronald Michener a little bit frustrating. Not because I didn’t agree with it, but because it reminds me of the heart of God and how different His values and mine are. I appreciated the way the authors always go back to the heart of…

Discipline! Discipline! Discipline! This is what I walk away with after reading Jim Collins’ book Good to Great as well as Good to Great and the Social Sectors. Without discipline we can probably do some good things, but it is discipline that will give us that boost from just an average person, or average worker…

Romans 12:2 (ESV) says, “do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” I’ve come to see that sometimes one needs to venture out of their comfort zone into…

As I write this post I’m looking at a painting I purchased in the Capetown harbour market. Having the chance to meet the artist and his brother, helped me to understand the real life application of many of the stories we heard while in South Africa. Their story does not appear in my report or…
