Diary of A Church Planter

Play time. Many moons ago (sounding like my Dad) I used to make images professionally and have been missing it lately so this is my new playground. Images of where I live and maybe more 🙂

Sometimes we just need people in our lives. Yesterday we had the yearly church BBQ. We couldn’t meet at our venue and another couldn’t be arranged due to mis-communication and the last minute issue. We met at a someone’s house. There was food, drink, singing and a team building exercise. We didn’t plan the team…

Most people don’t fail because life is hard. They fail because focus never becomes a constant. “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you…

Church is meant to be alive. Joyful. Vision-filled.Not heavy. Not boring. We don’t just gather for good music or a spiritual spa moment. We gather to be stirred. To see God’s plan. To be reminded there’s more ahead. Jesus didn’t say, “Go into all the world and worship.” Worship is eternal—we’ll do that forever. He…

It is whats on the inside that counts! What is on the inside of you is what will be shown on the outside! John‬ ‭15‬:‭5‬ ‭NLT‬‬“Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.”‭‭What…

“But the land that you are going over to possess is a land of hills and valleys, which drinks water by the rain from heaven, a land that the Lord your God cares for. The eyes of the Lord your God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.”…

Day Five – Friday Psalm 73 23 Yet I still belong to you; you hold my right hand. 24 You guide me with your counsel, leading me to a glorious destiny. 25 Whom have I in heaven but you? I desire you more than anything on earth. 26 My health may fail, and my spirit…

Day Four – Thursday Psalm 73  17 Then I went into your sanctuary, O God, and I finally understood the destiny of the wicked. 18 Truly, you put them on a slippery path and send them sliding over the cliff to destruction. 19 In an instant they are destroyed, completely swept away by terrors. 20…

Day Three – Wednesday Psalm 73  11 “What does God know?” they ask. “Does the Most High even know what’s happening?” 12 Look at these wicked people—enjoying a life of ease while their riches multiply. 13 Did I keep my heart pure for nothing? Did I keep myself innocent for no reason? 14 I get…
