worship – A Worship Diary

But then, being all-knowing is not my job.

Have you ever encountered times in your life that just seem strange? Seasons that do not seem to make sense – you recognize that something is not quite right and perhaps you even know “how to make it right” but you just cannot seem to do so? Perhaps it was the interjection of a newContinue reading “But then, being all-knowing is not my job. “

A Boy, A Teenage Boy, and A Man

Growing up in a Christian home I was exposed to worship music from an early age (I always like to say that my parents never sang lullabies, just old choruses from worship songs they knew) and I had formed this belief that there was power in gospel or Christian music. I remember one night, IContinue reading “A Boy, A Teenage Boy, and A Man”

The Widows Offering

It is amazing how the human brain has this ability to recollect a memory from your childhood and yet sometimes I can not even remember if I have locked my car. What is even more amazing is when the Holy Spirit uses that memory to convict my heart and bring correction. This morning, as IContinue reading “The Widows Offering”

Hot, Cold and In-Between

Here we are, my first post of the new year. Twenty Twenty-one. It might feel like a shock for some that we have made it this far. The last year had been a whirlwind, right? That whirlwind threw me in all sorts of directions. I blew hot, I blew cold and I blew lukewarm. LikeContinue reading “Hot, Cold and In-Between”

Two Fish and Five Loaves

I was recently thinking about the moment I took the leap into worship ministry. It is somewhat crazy and (actually) unbelievable in the way it all worked out. I might have previously mentioned about me being in a Christian school or growing up in church or generally being exposed to praise and worship but thatContinue reading “Two Fish and Five Loaves”

The Power of Prayer in Worship

I have always believed in the power of prayer. Ever since I could comprehend that I can talk to God through prayer – I have prayed. As a seven-year-old boy I thought of God as a genie. Someone who would grant me my every wish and all I had to do was pray and askContinue reading “The Power of Prayer in Worship”

I’ve Been Silent …

Over the last few weeks, you may have noticed that no blog posts have come out. I know… I could do better! (As some of my friends would say…) I’ve been working on a few creative projects and they’ve taken up much of my free time over the last while! So what have I beenContinue reading “I’ve Been Silent …”

Was I even there?

Have you ever walked out of a church service of some sort and started chatting to a group of friends and everyone is going on and on about how great the service was? You’re standing there and thinking “Man! Was I even there?” Or perhaps the opposite is true and you’re the only one whoContinue reading “Was I even there?”

A City Mouse in Middelburg

For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. – Jeremiah 29 Vs 11. Apart from John 3 Vs 16 – I am tempted to say this is the most quoted bible verse. Of course,Continue reading “A City Mouse in Middelburg”

Blog Post X: A Forgotten Love

I always take time to reflect when I write these blog posts. I think of significant moments in my life and I trust the Holy Spirit to impart some of the joys and revelations of my journey with you. In the last few weeks I have found myself feeling hopeful, hopeless, joyful, depressed, confident andContinue reading “Blog Post X: A Forgotten Love”
