The JOURNEY of Knowing Christ
Our salvation encounter with Jesus Christ launched us on an amazing journey.
The journey’s large centrepiece is the call to constantly know Christ more, and to not lose sight of that, regardless of the landscape changes in our life-journey.
The centrepiece influences how we experience the present, face what’s ahead, and interpret what we’ve come through.
The video, The JOURNEY of Knowing Christ is about seizing the centrepiece. It’s a good focus for the start of the new year, and will make a difference to the way we journey through it.

More than a Thanks Point
Thanking the Lord is an always offering; there’s never a wrong time for it. It’s an all-season fruit from the life rooted in Christ.1 He has given us reasons to celebrate his kindness in all circumstances and every situation, even the unpleasant ones.2 We know...
The Celebration Leap
Elephants can’t jump, but it would surprise us if frogs, fleas and antelopes didn’t. It’s about design. God designed man with an ‘inner leap’ ability that finds new height in Christ. The celebration leap is part of new creation life, and the Lord never leaves us...
Welcome the reshaping
Willing and wanting to be changed. But the Spirit of grace doesn’t stop there. He makes it possible for us to welcome the re-shaping of the new us. Our eternal Home will be amazing – flawless and beautiful. And at last, we’ll be perfect reflectors of the glory of...
Praying for toxic rulers
The Bible says to obey leaders and pray for them. Does that include praying for toxic rulers and malevolent governments? Should we pray for their removal? God keeps his promise. The psalmist reminds us of how God rebuked kings and warned them against harming his...
Shaped for BEST
The Lord didn’t send him to a stream to look at raw clay, or to a market to admire earthen jars on display. He sent Jeremiah to a potter’s house to see a work in progress. He walked from that workroom with a message: God’s people will be shaped for BEST….if they want...
Ask for a Prayer Movement
The list of things that people ask God for is long and diverse. But no request carries the same lasting impact as this one: asking for a spirit of prayer. Not for more prayer in general, but for a deeper, expanding prayer-hunger for his Glory. This post touches on...
Prayer Movement
Siam became Thailand in 1939, Land of the Free, as a permanent acclaim for not being colonized by Europe. But true freedom is about more than what we are not. It’s the liberty to become like Christ (2Cor 3:17-18). If that is to be the transformation carried in the...
Celebration Praise
We know that to PRAISE is to exalt the Lord’s Glory. We extol who he is and what he is like, and we applaud his works that draw attention to that. We also know that to REJOICE is to celebrate the Lord’s Glory. We express joy in who he is and in what he has done (and...
God is singing over us
The Lord points us to two ‘feeders’ for pray continually living: always thankful and always joyful (1 Thes 5:16-18). The second has its source in the Lord's own joy. That includes his joy about us. God is singing over us, and draws us into the celebration! In my...
Always joyful
Rejoice always. Really? We ask the same question when we read pray continually or always give thanks: Is it doable? And yet we know God doesn’t tell us to do without empowering us for the doing. So the bigger question is: how do we do always joyful? Pray continually...
