He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected man. And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice against my adversary’.

I am a writer of Bible devotions, a writer of songs and occasionally a writer of poems. I am also a Christian, so I suppose you could call me a Christian writer. My first book - aptly named 'The Narrow Path' will be published in September 2024. I live in Northern Ireland and when I get the opportunity, I love to travel.
For This Purpose
John 18:37 – “For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth.” Jesus had come to fulfill the truth of the prophecies, to proclaim the truth of the Father, to explain the truth of the Kingdom and declare the truth of the… Continue reading For This Purpose
Understanding Humility
And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point to death, even death on a cross.

The Israelites go to Samuel with a message… Continue reading Wanting What You Have
Don’t Trip Over Your Words
And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground. 1 Samuel 3:19 This is such an interesting verse and yet how many of us remember it from the story of the Lord’s call to Samuel? The phrase ‘and let none of his words fall to… Continue reading Don’t Trip Over Your Words
Always By Your Side
The enemy may think he is strong enough to come against you but he's not; with the power of God within you, you are stronger than the enemy.
Holy Radiance
Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because he had been talking with God. Exodus 34:29 This verse just makes me say, ‘wow!’ Can you even imagine it? My heart tells me that it would be the most incredible thing to experience and yet Moses didn’t even know that this amazing… Continue reading Holy Radiance
No excuses
For since the creation of the world, God’s invisible qualities, namely his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. Romans 1:20 Although not everyone believes in God as we perceive him to be, some do believe in a power greater… Continue reading No excuses
