A Door No One Can Shut!

Have you noticed how our worldview affects our interpretation of things? Certainly in my case, I have seen how the revelation of peace with God and his good intentions toward man because of Jesus are changing the way I understand the bible. If it is true that God is perfect and cannot contradict himself, then the revelation of God through Jesus should be our guide for interpreting Scripture. Jesus is, after all, the exact representation of the Father. He said that if we have seen him, then we have seen the Father.

The devil's gospel.


The last 4 years of my life have been spent largely in retraining my mind: Since I started listening to Rob Rufus' message on the Grace of God, I have been in a non stop process of seeing Truth revealed and then re-aligning my thinking. So many (probably most) of my assumptions about things have been based on erroneous or incomplete data and although it has been hard to see the huge, gaping holes in the foundations of my life, it has been wonderful to see them being filled in.Even the word for this process, "repentance" has had to be redefined in me!

World Cup 2010

So...... FIFA World Cup 2010. WOW! Already we're well into the tournament. I must say that I'm so pleased to see SA hosting so well. The stadiums look amazing and the infrastructure is incredible. SA really does shine in the context of Africa. Last year Aug when visiting SA we experienced a little of what it has cost the nation in terms of disruption to get this country to be ready for the World Cup. I hope it was worth it, many hours stuck in traffic during road construction does take its toll! So thank you SA for making this such a success!

So, it's been a while...

So, it's been a while... Since that last tally ho, the cares of the world have really been doing their work.... BUT NOT ANY MORE!
Having a blog has been on my heart for a while, but we all know how it goes, at least for me: I start something all excitedly, and then lose interest really quickly. The story of my life....
Fortunately since coming to Hong Kong in September '09, God's been uncovering so much in me that has been left dormant for a really long time. I'm seeing his goodness manifesting into my thoughts and changing my outlook and perspective on life. Everything has been "ground under repair" since coming and it really is good to see the repairs coming to fruition and completion.  I'm looking forward to actually maintaining this blog thing, there's so much to share!
