Praise the Lord. How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and fitting to praise him! (Psalm 147:1 NASB) We have a wonderful Lord, worthy always of our praise! In a time when life is complex and difficult, and even matters of faith are getting confusing, it is important to be reminded of the simplicity and comfort of our faith. We need reminding again, of who is in charge. We need to see afresh, that our God,…
Book Launch Before moving on to today’s post, as promised, I am stoked to share with you the book launch for To the Young Believer that took place with CLC Kenya last week. The launch took place via Zoom, and live on Facebook. It is an hour-long interview with the CLC Kenya National Director, the beautiful Muthoni Mercy Omukhango. Muthoni asked some great questions, some I was prepared for and some I wasn’t, which was a lot of fun! It…
Exciting news! My first book, To the Young Believer, is about to launch in Africa, from Nairobi, Kenya. The launch will take place in mid-May, in the form of a Zoom interview with the team from CLC (Christian Literature Communications), of Nairobi, Kenya.

But Jesus replied, “My Father is always working, and so am I.” (John 5:17 NLT) We live very close to an industrial area in one of the suburbs of the City of Newcastle. Along with steel manufacturing, Newcastle is now mostly known for its coal exportation from the harbour, where local coal is loaded onto supply ships and where arriving cargo ships unload their containers. Most of the time, you can’t really hear any industrial noise, although at night, when…
Earlier today, I hit the ‘publish’ button for my new book, Food for the Table: Christ Our Real Food (A Book of Blogs). Yep, I’ve compiled a book of some of the best from Drawing From the Well. The readings date from 2014 to 2022. They have been edited and amended to read well in a book format for people unfamiliar with my blog (that makes most of the world! lol). Therefore, after scrolling through this site, you will find…
We are familiar with the verse in Romans 8:28; All things work for the good of those who love God and are called according to HIS PURPOSE. One of the results of the Covid 19 pandemic was the disruption to the mainstream church program. Christians worldwide were forced into lockdown and forbidden to meet as they usually would. Buildings were closed. Many dear fellow believers pressed against the government-enforced rules and continued trying to meet as they had been. Many were distraught…
I have included three songs in my upcoming new title, Food for the Table: Christ our Real Food (A Book of Blogs). You can click here to listen to the above, entitled Jealous Keeping. In the year 2019, my heartstrings were really being pulled. I struggled with familial loyalties while living far from my family. It was a really tough experience because I had no real assurance that I would return to them. I only had a faint whisper that…
Over the last couple of years, Disney released The Mandalorian series. The Mandalorians are bounty hunters and part of a sub-culture that could be likened to a religious sect. They serve one purpose, and their missions are ultimately toward that purpose. Those in the inner circle, who passionately serve in the cause, follow a creed. There are frequent scenes where they counsel one another with this statement “This is the way”. In Jeremiah 31:31-34, God foretells a new way is…
Recently we had some wonderful saints visit us from Perth and we enjoyed a day at the local markets. There I purchased some yummy tomato relish. God is so amazing how He speaks to us, just look at this stunning label! There is a great harvest party mentioned in the book of Revelation, described as the marriage of the Lamb. Some versions call it the wedding feast or banquet, or supper. ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage…
