Biblical words matter.
We sow, God saves.
Christianity is a counterculture.
Run the race as if it matters.

Introduction

These commentaries are the result of my personal experience and study. They reflect my perspective on Christian doctrine—the narrative that shapes a believer’s faith—and how that narrative influences our ability to walk in the footsteps of Jesus Christ. Today, Christianity often seems disconnected from the broader cultural conversation—reduced, in many ways, to an inconvenient subculture that increasingly grapples with spiritual diversity and social identity. This growing irrelevance raises a pressing question: why has the Church drifted so far from meaningful engagement with society? What concerns me most is how rarely this issue is addressed. Leadership from the pulpit is more focused on the organisation of the institution itself—an oversight that, in my view, has a direct and damaging effect on the health of the Church.

About Me

My earliest experiences were shaped, but not led, by a Christian view of life—a position that continued for 40 years before I made a personal decision to accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour. In 2001, I was part of a leadership team that welcomed a new Pastor to our Church. Not long after, we were confronted with a series of theological and relational challenges that ultimately split the congregation in two. It took three subsequent Pastors and many years for the Church to heal from this division. I still recall the sadness, anger, and disillusionment that followed—the sense of confusion—the lingering weight of unanswered questions. Through that experience, I realised two things—that I knew very little about why I believed; and second, that whatever I did know wasn’t truly my own.

Crowd Hypnosis and the Church

This commentary is a clarion call to all Christians. Over the last six years, we've seen increasing distrust and rage, across the political, social, and racial landscapes. It's been alarming, to say the least. The general theme has blamed Trump for just about everything, and in the last two years, we've suffered the ongoing repercussions of a global pandemic. However, I'm concerned about deeper reasons behind the current global unrest, reasons that center on what I believe are the consequences of killing God? The death of right and wrong is a conundrum for those striving to free themselves from perceived religious constraints, but having done so now face the social repercussions of creating a moral vacuum, with no objectively shared principles to follow. Humanity suffers a plethora of social, racial and gender related issues with no consensus about why they happened, or how to resolve them.
