The Importance of Work in Missions
Posted on March 7, 2020 Leave a Comment
Over the last few months, I have been struggling with how a missionary is supposed to “work”. Ever since I entered life as a working adult, I have always had a schedule, a to-do list, things that engaged my mind, emotions, and muscles. First, I worked in refrigeration and air-conditioning. Every day I had jobs, […]
Keep calm and mission on…

I don’t know about you but I often feel very frightened about the future. The media seems to love lobbing bad news grenades about wars, religious fights, financial crisis, natural disasters, famous Christians falling away etc. etc. We live in uncertain times where many are most likely edgy and uncertain about the direction of their […]

I’ve been reading a book “Disciplines of a Godly man” by R Kent Hughes. If you are guy, you need to read this. If you are married to, or dating a guy, buy your man this book as a late Christmas present. There is so much hard hitting truth in this book, I read chapter […]

I don’t know about you but I almost never cry in front of other people. I remember on my wedding day shedding a tear when I saw my wife walking down the isle towards me. The dam walls around my eyes could no longer hold back the overflowing river of joy that I felt. I […]
You can’t fire a cannon from a canoe

Today I came across an interesting quote coined by a Canadian strength coach of all people “You can’t fire a cannon from a canoe”. He was referring to your body needing a stable core that enables a strong production of force. Nope….I have not taken up body building BUT, I think this gives pretty good […]
Partner Churches in the Great Commission
Posted on July 26, 2017 Leave a Comment
A while ago I posted a blog about sending churches like Antioch in the New Testament sending Paul and Barnabas. This time around I want to share about partner churches, looking at the Philippian church as a model. This church was planted by Paul and Silas and had converts like Lydia, the seller of purple […]
Black Hair Matters

South Africa is a country filled with wonderful diversity, a testimony to our creators genius and creativity. However, sin corrupts and often this diversity gets looked upon with fear, confusion and even disdain. After apartheid we as South Africans have been learning many lessons and many lessons are learnt via the voices of our youth. […]
Withholding forgiveness?

It’s not often that I get direct and detailed feedback from sermons, most of the time it’s the usual; “Great sermon pastor! Very convicting! Challenging!” But this week I received direct feedback from something I said in a sermon at our missions weekend. Because I was convicted and challenged I thought it best to write […]
What do you miss when you miss. “A Message for Busy Students”

Dear Busy Christian Student. Varsity is a crazy season of life right? So much to take in, so much to do and learn. Exams, assignment deadlines, social events and of course…the hard drive filled with tasty SERIES EPISODES…”SSShhhh”. Perhaps for the first time there is so much more demand on your time, so much more pressure to perform […]
Racism, South Africa and God’s Rainbow Kingdom Part 2
Posted on April 7, 2016 Leave a Comment
Sometimes I think back to a sermon I preached and wished I had said something different or extra. This is not because God’s Word changes but because sometimes we gain new perspective or a better method of application. Well, I think the same goes for blogs. 2 Months back I wrote about the fact that diversity […]
