THOUGHTS ON LIFE:

• MORE ABOUT HUMILITY
To me, humility is about being self-forgetful. How hard is that? I find that the more I think about this issue, that it is fundamentally about trust. When I don’t forget myself in the sense that Jesus meant, then I am clinging on to my way of doing things and not trusting.

• SEEING THE EYES OF CHRIST IN THE POOR
The other morning I had an experience involving a homeless man who sometimes can be seen at the bus stop I frequent each morning on my way to work. This particular morning he was at the corner of one of the intersections where I cross the road waiting at the lights when I was walking up to them. As I approached the lights the homeless man and I exchanged eye contact for a second, so I said ‘How you going mate?’

A CHURCH EMERGING HAS CLOSED

A CHURCH EMERGING: SEARCHING FOR COMMUNITY

I have been grappling with the issue of community for some time now, but was challenged recently by a response to an article on depression recently posted on this site. The lady who posted the comment expressed that although she had been involved in church life for many years she was in fact very lonely and had also experienced depressive episodes during her life. That really got me thinking. How can someone be a church attender, surrounded by many Christians, and yet still be lonely?
