You were bought with a price, do not become slaves of men. 1 Corinthians 7:23 This verse is clear and concise, reiterating a truth and issuing a command. Our salvation may have brought us freedom and we may have freely received the wonderful gift of eternal life, but it was the most expensive free gift… Continue reading Live Free

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.

Through the valley
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23:4 In springtime, both eastern and western shepherds lead their sheep to high hills and mountain top plateaus for summer grazing. They choose the… Continue reading Through the valley
Choose to be led
He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Psalm 23:3 It seems strange, at first, to think that the Christian who is under the care and protection of Almighty God would ever need restoration after salvation. We know, of course, that life is not simple and circumstances can… Continue reading Choose to be led
Rested and Refreshed
He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. Psalm 23:2 The wonder of this verse is in the first five words, for the truth is, no-one can make a sheep lie down. Fear, tension, irritation and hunger will all keep a sheep standing. The only time these creatures will… Continue reading Rested and Refreshed
The Playground
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 1 John 2:15 Does the world entice you? Are there elements of the world that bring you pleasure? When you read the words ‘the world’, what image do you see… Continue reading The Playground
Soul Protection
Thorns and snares are in the way of the crooked; whoever guards his soul will keep far from them. Proverbs 22:5 There is truth in the saying that life is not always a bed of roses, or more correctly, rose petals. All of us will know this to be true, for we all have scars… Continue reading Soul Protection
Clean, Holy, Righteous
But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. 1 Corinthians 6:11 At the beginning of the book of Acts, when Peter preached the gospel, he instructed all those who accepted the word to ‘repent and be baptised’ (2:17).… Continue reading Clean, Holy, Righteous
Inward Reflection
By this we may know that we are in him: whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked. 1 John 2:5,6 At various times throughout the gospels we hear the Lord Jesus saying, “By this all people will know that you are my disciples.” He was… Continue reading Inward Reflection
United in Word
Now the whole earth had one language and the same words. Genesis 11:1 Genesis 11 brings us into the generation of Noah’s great-grandchildren. As the families grew, the people migrated out, and finding a good plain of land in Shinar, they decided to settle. The people were intelligent and industrious, and they said to one… Continue reading United in Word
