The Biebers, Valentines and returning to our first love
In a cover-shoot and interview for Vogue, which was released last week, the couple shared views that seem a world away from the values in Hollywood. Bieber, for example, said that his and Baldwin’s faith is at the heart of their commitment to each other, in what was a whirlwind romance and…
SENT: How one group got on with SENT
We started each evening with a meal, which made an excellent icebreaker for the group. We were made up of a wide range of ages, from some in their late twenties to others in their early seventies, and covering a variety of abilities and skills. We thought the material was very well produced. Each…
SENT: my tiny role in God's big picture

The head, not the tail
I love these verses not only because of their focus on justice, mercy and humility, but because they are active, intentional actions that effect our relationships with each other and with God. We are instructed not to simply approve of the theoretical concepts but to embody justice, mercy and…

The police force is one section of society that is, perhaps, feeling the heat more than most, as it endeavours to respond to the increasing demands of the people it serves with fewer officers and support staff to share the workload. In a bid to meet the needs of communities in spite of the…

SENT: “Profound insight made simple”
It’s easy in our busy lives to consider passing up on anything that we perceive as eating into our precious time. So when opportunities arise to help us grow and get equipped as leaders, and especially where such opportunities do not infringe too much on our busy schedules, we tend to grab hold of…
