Blogging The Rock: December 2009
http://bloggingtherock.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 9, 2009. Holding onto God's promises for 2010. This December feels to me like the moment in the 4x400m relay race when the weary runner is finishing off his leg and is laboring to pass the baton onto the second runner, who is restraining himself to match the first runners speed so that no time is lost in the handover. The bible often speaks of us being in a race and tells us that we are racing for a prize. How is your race going? Paul when writing to the Galatian church says. The enem...

Blogging The Rock: May 2011
http://bloggingtherock.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 24, 2011. 8220;If we don’t stand for something we will fall for anything.”. That’s the thought that came to mind other day when I saw this article in the Independent on Saturday. In it the producer of e-TV's new show the Naked News. Had a real go at Christians, obviously attempting to make the rising opposition to this brain dead idea seem as irrelevant as possible. His plan: to categorise all Christians who object as "fanatical fundamentalists” – carefully. No love without truth. Piper says...

Blogging The Rock: When face to face isn't
http://bloggingtherock.blogspot.com/2011/02/when-face-to-face-isnt.html
Tuesday, February 22, 2011. When face to face isn't. If there was no social networks it would have never been sparked. Said Wael Ghonim the 30 year old Egyptian whose facebook page is credited with fuelling the uprising that toppled President Hosni Mubarak's regime. Is it possible that the enabler is the fall of Mubarak, who had reigned as Egypt's president for 30 years, was a social networking tool? The world has changed and there is no going back. How different a world it must have been when letter...

Blogging The Rock: October 2009
http://bloggingtherock.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 22, 2009. The Facecloth, Power of Prayer. I went out and she showed me a facecloth that had blown into her garden the day before and asked if it was mine! It was mine and I was quite surprised because we aren’t direct neighbors and the wind had blown it about 100m into her garden on the other side of the cul-de-sac! But what amazed me most is that God used a facecloth to bring her to my gate! PRAISE YOU, JESUS! Human Traffic, and our Community. Zimbabwe Trip, August. We believe that God...

Blogging The Rock: March 2010
http://bloggingtherock.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 11, 2010. The Western church had sadly become overly attached to and defined by buildings, programs, staff, services and institutions that only strategise ways to do attractional ministry. To correct this the term missional was adopted to emphasis that the church exists to go into cultures and nations of the earth and live sacrificially for the good of others." So says Mark Driscoll in his book Vintage Church. Let's face facts that anything other than pioneering, sacrificial living for th...

Wednesday, March 23, 2011. Karma is a mean spirited debt collector, God isn't! He Earthquake and Tsunami that struck. Many have expressed shock and horror at the scenes and are asking “Why did this happen? And I’m sure some people will be suggesting that this is the judgment of God on a nation that has ignored the Creator of heaven and earth. How ought Christians process these natural disasters? What does the bible suggest is happening and what would Jesus do? He stupidly went out alone late at night or ...

Blogging The Rock: January 2010
http://bloggingtherock.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 11, 2010. Yesterday I drove to Jhb and back in one trip to fetch Matt, John and Flo. Left at 5pm and got home at 3:30pm. Worth it though - Matt's home. Thank you Lord! Job 1:9-11) "Does Job fear God for nothing? Satan replied. 10 "Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land. 11. Would Job divorce God when things went bad? That should not lead me to believe/t...
