Hebrews 13:16 Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God. My overall aim for my journey here on earth is to follow Christ’s example and to live a life that is pleasing to God. I want to be able to say with Jesus, “I… Continue reading Pleasing God

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.

The voyage from Caesarea was arduous with the ship getting caught up in a fierce storm and the… Continue reading Kindness in Action

Colossians 3:12 Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. In the first part of Colossians 3 we have the ‘put-off’ and ‘put-on’ verses. Our lives as Christians are to be completely different from how they were before we accepted the salvation of God. Everything about… Continue reading Garments of Grace

John 21:17 He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” and he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep”. This… Continue reading The Shepherd
Don’t Let Up
1 Corinthians 9:25 Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. Just as the Lord Jesus used metaphors to help the people understand his teaching, so also did Paul. In this instance he used the concept of an athlete because this was something that… Continue reading Don’t Let Up

Matthew 23:23 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matter of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness.

1 Thessalonians 5:15 See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone. I don’t know about you, but I just love family.

Mark 2:3 And they came, bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men. Here we have another amazing act of kindness. We don’t know whether the man himself asked to be taken to Jesus or whether family or friends told him about this new teacher that had come to Capernaum. Either way, it was… Continue reading Friends Like This
