It’s now been 2 full weeks since I got the initial news about me not being recommended this year for officership. On Saturday I received the official explanation, and despite me not fully agreeing with it I will do the things they suggest.

There are many positives that are coming out of the situation. I’m learning to trust God more and more, and the letter confirms that no-one is doubting my calling to officership.

One thing that is certain is just how many people care about this little family as I have had numerous encouraging comments and mails from people across the world. For anyone who reads this who has sent a comment, please know that we really appreciate them.

Light and Salt

Jesus called us to be light and salt in the world! But what sort are we?

What sort of light are we in the world? Are we like a lightbulb in a dark room that helps people see both the good and the bad that is in the room? Or are we more like the interregators lamp that shines in the face of those we try to reach forcing them to admit to their sinful nature?

What sort of salt are we in the world? Are we like a pinch of salt from a skilled chef that enhances the flavour of their creation, drawing out the subtle flavours and adding to the dining experience? Or are we like the salt that is sown by rampaging forces to destroy its fertility?
