‘Sing to the Lord, a new song, Sing to the Lord, all the earth. Sing to the Lord, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day.’ Psalm 96:1,2 NIV I grew up in a family that was overly religious and very strict – my grandparents’ home became my home when I was nearly three …

A Devotional | Eternal Glorious Rest
Since May 2014 God has been teaching me about rest and I experienced a new lesson the other day….. It was a busy day but a good day. I was able to bless a friend with a homemade lunch and it was wonderful to catch up. Then I was able to help with the pickup …
Devotional | STOP, THIEF!
I’m curious how many of you have engaged in theft this week. I’m sure some of you reading this are feeling offended that I’ve accused you of an action generally considered unchristian. After all, good people don’t do things like steal. But I’m also curious how many of you, if you went through your bag, …
DEVOTIONAL | The Things We Believe
We recently started doing a series at our church called ‘Who Told You That?’ and we’re looking at some of the misconceptions we have about God and the Bible. It’s been an interesting series to prepare for as it’s made me look at some of my beliefs and ask myself where that belief started. The …
Devotional | Peace, Perfect Peace – a Promise and an Instruction
Early in January, we had three wonderful nights at a retreat house in the border ranges of northern NSW. As we arrived at this little place of peace, I asked the question. God what do you want me to do in 2026? My strength is limited. What is the best way to use the strength …

Devotional | The Importance of Our Calling
If we know what it is that Jesus wants us to be, if we have been given a vision (an idea, a dream, a promise) showing us a clear direction from Him, then we must be obedient to that Calling. It is not up to us to say it cannot be achieved or attained for …

Devotional | Cultivating Kindness
CULTIVATING KINDNESS In October this year, I chose kindness. There were other options. I could have gone with joy, or faith, or love, or happy. No, that isn’t a typo or an errant autocorrect. I don’t mean happiness. The exact word was happy. I wasn’t deciding what emotion to feel, but which to buy. The …
Devotional | A Precious Message
As an author, speaker, or your average Christian trying to share the gospel with someone, it’s hard to know how to please God and not chase the praise of men. I mean, if you aren’t relatable, likeable, or at least moderately proficient, no one will hear the precious message entrusted to you to share. So, …
