No doubt, we are living in a technocracy. Technology has revolutionised every aspect of our lives. This is something I’ve found hard to embrace, because although we may enjoy some aspects of the use of technology, I also feel it has had a profoundly damaging effect on societies around the world.

As an author, I love for my books to be enjoyed in physical as well as digital form. It’s something of a cliché these days, but it is truly a wonderful experience to hold a paperback or a hardcover bo...

I recently finished work on the follow-up to Reflections: Enlightening Insights Into the Divine Mystery and decided to give the new book the title Reflections+. This is because the book is very similar in presentation to Reflections and continues the theme of delving deep into the divine mystery through a series of concise and carefully-crafted contemplations.

This ‘buy one get one free’ offer might only last for a short while, so please do take advantage of it and make a purchase of Refl...

I have another piece of music related news. The LORD led me to put together an album of seven songs that I either didn’t feel 100% happy with or didn’t have an opportunity to release.

I came up with the name ‘Withheld’ for the album, as I held back from releasing and promoting these songs. There are quite a few acoustic songs on the album and some experimental songs as well. It’s a very diverse album.

This is an album which I would describe as ‘highly vulnerable’. There are imperfectio...

Last year, I self-published Reflections: Enlightening Insights Into the Divine Mystery, which I consider to be the most accomplished of the around twenty books I have written and self-published. The book has sold a handful of copies and I have given quite a few copies away. It’s often on my mind that I would like the book to be read by many people, but little interest has resulted from my extensive promotional efforts.

A couple of days ago, the LORD inspired me to begin work on a follow-up to...

I was sitting on the sofa in my flat feeling utterly hemmed in by Satan — a devil in the flat below me and a devil in the other flat in the building. The devil in my father, the devil in the housing association, the devil in the neighbourhood. The only thing that was enabling me to cope with life was getting drunk every day.

I began to experience episodes of an experience that was truly terrifying. It’s hard to describe. For several seconds at a time, an overwhelmingly dark spiritual force wo...

Thank you for your time and have a blessed day!

There’s a saying, which is not found in the Bible, yet seems true:

‘Hurt people hurt people’

Do you cause physical, emotional or spiritual harm to others? God will judge you for that. Therefore, cease from doing so immediately!

I recommend counselling with a Christian counsellor, or better still, fasting, prayer and Bible study to help you to eradicate egoic tendencies that cause harm.

God is slow to anger, offering you a long time to repent and turn away from doing evil. But he gets...

Some of you may know this blog as Perfect Chaos, which was its previous name. Life can seem chaotic at times, but in reality all events unfold in accordance with the perfect will of God — that was the inspiration behind the name. The t...

The exact translation of ‘logos’ has confused many textual critics, and I am not a textual critic. I heard a song recently that translated ‘logos’ in John Chapter 1 as ‘love’. If God is love, perhaps we can do even better:

In the beginning was God, and God was with God, and God was God. He was in the beginning with God.

All glory to the majestic name of the LORD forever and ever!

I don’t have a Bible at present, owing to challenging circumstances, and I don’t trust the Internet when looking up Bible quotations online in the age of AI, but I’m mindful of the following Bible verse:

“Many of those who are last will be first, and the first shall be last.”

I’ve been reflecting on this a little in recent days.

As Christians, we are always trying hard to bear fruit for the Kingdom. What if we were to do exceedingly well? What if we were to come first, in terms of beari...
