In music discipleship (click to see series), we want to grow in faith – to know God more and more. To compare, let’s take a mirror to “discipleship”. A great way to capture meaning of discipleship is to know God and make God known to others, described in “First look…
Leviticus 6:10-11 speaks about the priest who carries out the necessary offering at the altar. There is the linen garment. Is there any significance? Does it apply today? The “outside the camp”. This is discussed in “All, all of it“: there is the distance and the journey to the camp.…
We can’t earned grace Grace is gift from God. We cannot work for it. Work can’t increase faith Our faith can increase (e.g. becomes “stronger”) and often events can cause it. But this is misleading. What increases faith is our knowing God, more and more; that we continuously reflect on…

There is no denial that despite all scientific achievement, depth of knowledge and breadth of creativity, humans have no dominion over life itself. Losing someone dear today is probably no different to 1,000 years ago, or 5,000, or the day the first human appeared. If we believe (or have the…
