Suddenly there is a loud thump on the side of the canoe, and it rolls over. You come up sputtering, and what do you see? Somebody has snuck up on your canoe, flipped it over for
- [The Heavens Shall Declare](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/the-heavens-shall-declare/) - I am a great fan of Henry Blackaby and his teaching on Experiencing God. One of the key points of this teaching is, God is speaking, so are we listening? The second part is, that God is always active, so where do you see Him in action? Are we noticing Him at all, or are
- [Living in the Here and Now](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/living-in-the-here-and-now/) - A lot of people have a habit of living in either their past or their future. The simple fact is neither is a very constructive way of dealing with the present. When we live in the past it can be for several reasons; it can be with regret for what we did or didn’t
- [Genuine Friends](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/genuine-friends/) - by Aaron More - All the time I hear the statement “all you need is God.” It sounds really spiritual, but is it true? In the book of Genesis, we read that Adam was living in the Garden of Eden. Everything that God had created was good and Adam had fellowship with God that was
- [Just Keep Honking!](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/just-keep-honking/) - Sandhill Cranes, ducks and geese are birds that have one major thing in common they tend to migrate over long distances. They also understand that to do this they can’t do it alone. In fact, they don’t usually travel in numbers less than three and that is for a special reason which I will explain
- [Sculptor’s Work a Reminder of Strength and Courage](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/sculptors-work-a-reminder-of-strength-and-courage/) - Sculptor’s Work a Reminder of Strength and Courage Michelangelo Buonarroti is famous for many things, the roof of the Sistine Chapel, the statue of David, being the chief architect of St Peter’s Basilica in Rome. I have had the privilege of seeing all these first hand in Italy. Michelangelo was a poet, sculptor, architect,
- [A Different Generation of Men](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/a-different-generation-of-men/) - A Different Generation of Men “The proof is in the pudding,” my Grandma used to say. I love pudding, a little too much I’m afraid. What Grandma meant was the fruit of our lives is the proof of our lives. She taught me that words are only meaningful if they compel us to live
- [Standing in the Battle Together](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/standing-in-the-battle-together/) - I am a bit of a war history buff and have been interested in battles in air, land and sea since I was a child. I have a friend David Dusek who is also a war buff, and he maintains that we tend to have interest in one particular war. He says his war is
- [Love is a Decision](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/love-is-a-decision/) - Love is a Decision I find that many women do not like the idea that love is a decision rather than an emotion. Conversely, I also find that many men tend to agree with the concept that love is a decision. The daily decision to love unconditionally strengthens the foundations of the relationship so that
- [ANZAC Day – Lest We Forget](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/anzac-day-lest-we-forget/) - It is with disbelief that we have watched the horror that is being inflicted on Ukraine. The veneer of civilisation is very thin. How could this be happening in Europe in 2022? It just feels so much like a rerun of WWI and WWII where countries slowly got dragged in deeper to the conflict.
- [Bringing New Life to the Easter Story](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/bringing-new-life-to-the-easter-story/) - I find it fascinating when God connects ideas that are seemingly unrelated but, in the end become significant. I was thinking about some of the teaching in our pornography recovery programmes that stresses the use of our right side of the brain as well as the left. This allows concepts to be better cemented into
- [The Laboratory of Life](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/the-laboratory-of-life/) - by Paul Monahan - From my early days of Promise Keepers involvement in the mid 1990’s, a few speakers and writers have made a significant impact on me. I have spoken before about Coach McCartney’s statement, “Men, we have been in a war, but we have not been at war”. Another writer in this case

- [The Blessing of God](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/the-blessing-of-god/) - by Kevin Forlong - When you hear the word “blessing” or “blessed” what picture does it conjure up in your mind? Is the blessing of God spiritual or material? The overriding message of the Bible is that God is knowable and desires a personal relationship with each person. The objective and outcome of that
- [Life Moves On](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/life-moves-on/) - It has been said that there are two things in life we can count on, death and taxes. Personally, I don’t believe that to be true, obviously there is God in the process but the other thing that we can count on is change. Change is part of the fabric of our lives, and it
- [Like Growth Rings of a Tree](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/like-growth-rings-of-a-tree/) - A while ago some friends of ours moved from Snells Beach to Christchurch. We spent nearly a full weekend saying farewell to them at different events. They had been in our lives for 16-years and it was fascinating listening to speeches and hearing different people’s perspectives. One of the events was their daughter’s 21st
- [Reaching the Next Generation](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/reaching-the-next-generation/) - by Rob Stacey - In this day and age it is easy to think that all we need can be found on the internet. Just the other day for instance, I grabbed my iPad, went on to YouTube and looked up “how to change brake pads”. Sure enough, up came a step-by-step video on how to
- [Saving for a Tesla](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/saving-for-a-tesla/) - The following devotion is by Greg Munn about Saving for a Tesla car. Greg writes: Today I borrowed my daughter and son-in-law's car. I had been warned that the fuel-light shone on the last trip the car had made, so would I fuel it up? I took it to the fuel station and it took 49
- [Reach out](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/reach-out/) - It is always interesting how God can lead you in a direction when you weren’t expecting it or looking for it. Most weekday mornings Candice, Cecelia and I meet on Zoom to discuss where we are going and what we are doing for the day. This morning we were chatting about the power of words
- [What is Prayer?](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/what-is-prayer/) - The following devotion is by Matt Carroll and asks What is Prayer?

[Read more here: Daniel 9:3-19] David prayed based on the understanding of
- [Jesus said, “I am willing; be cleansed.”](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/jesus-said-i-am-willing-be-cleansed/) - The following devotion is by Geoff Wiklund and it’s about when Jesus said to a man with leprosy, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Geoff says: I would like you to read the verses below and think what the Lord might be saying through them. What is compassion and how do we tap into it?
- [Finishing Well](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/finishing-well/) - As I am writing this, I am quietly aware this is Ash Wednesday the first day of Lent, the 40 days before Easter (not including Sundays). This would be the culmination of Jesus ministry on Earth with His death and resurrection. This was the fulfilment of the Father’s plan for the Son. We have seen
- [The World Has Changed But God Stays the Same](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/the-world-has-changed-but-god-stays-the-same/) - by Phil Macgregor - For I am the LORD, I change not. Malachi 3:6. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and forever. Hebrews 13:8. In the last couple of years, we know things in the world have changed. Our normal daily life and activities have changed, and this has affected some more than
- [Rights and Responsibilities](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/rights-and-responsibilities/) - My Responsibility Not My Rights We live in interesting times with many falling away from faith and people allowing issues to divide their families and friendships. There is an observation from overseas that as churches get back to corporate worship, numbers are down by up to 50%. Will this be the same here in NZ?
- [“This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/this-is-my-beloved-son-in-whom-i-am-well-pleased/) - Sadly, I would not describe my default setting as being an encourager. I’m more like a resting grumpy face. Even worse, I can easily tend to be a discourager, by having a critical attitude. It takes a conscious effort for me to bring a positive attitude and to encourage others. It is difficult to
- [Waiting for God](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/waiting-for-god/) - A couple of years ago I was travelling to Sydney with my wife. I had a 9:15am flight and as I live about an hour out of Auckland I left home at 5:00am. At that time of the morning the commute is relatively easy. I was at the airport and through all the formalities by about
- [Courageous Manhood](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/courageous-manhood/) - by Kris Baines - What is courage? Often when we hear the word “courage” we think of it in the context of a man who has no fears or doubts, and is always confident. Well that doesn’t capture the essence of what it really means to be courageous. Here is a great quote that explains
- [Are We On Mission?](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/are-we-on-mission/) - I believe that the last words said before someone either dies or leaves are revealing and powerful as to what the person thinks is important. Interestingly the last words of Jesus are not recorded in any of the gospels but in The Book of Acts of the Apostles. These words were instructions as to what
- [We All Need a Loving Father](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/we-all-need-a-loving-father/) - by Phil Strong - You may be saddened to hear that I lost my dad late in 2021. For two years Dad fought against the cancer that wanted to ravage his body, but in the end, he lost strength, function and, ultimately, breath. It was horrible watching the demise of my loving father; the man who

- [My Journey North and into History](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/my-journey-north-and-into-history/) - In December my wife and I made a trip to Russell to celebrate my birthday. I must say that in the end being able to leave Auckland after four plus months of lockdown was probably as appealing as the birthday celebration. The Bay of Islands is one of my favourite areas to visit and we

[You can read that article here.] Recently as I was doing my devotions, I

He’s been involved in Christian ministry for 35 years in numerous roles and ministries both in NZ and overseas. He shares the following thought-provoking message with us. Scripture is full of examples of how those who trust in and look to
- [What is in a Number?](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/what-is-in-a-number/) - Happy New Year! What is in a Number? 2022 is but a number as a measure of time to give order and a point of reference. In essence there is nothing different about 2022 to 2021 except it is a different measured allocation of time, effectively from God to you and me. In Ecclesiastes
- [Making Room For Jesus](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/making-room-for-jesus/) - This Christmas message is by guest writer Geoff Wiklund. He’s a popular PK speaker and itinerant preacher who brings a message of hope, love and encouragement. My habit is to read the Bible through each year, and I try to use a different translation each time. It seems that as I pray this every
- [Yes or No – Which response will you give?](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/yes-or-no-which-response-will-you-give/) - I have been doing an Advent meditation on the life of Joseph, husband of Mary and earthly father of Jesus. This morning’s readings were on obedience and strangely I had already written an outline for an email on this topic. They say timing is everything and I realised that the timing for this email is now.
- [Supernaturally Natural](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/supernaturally-natural/) - I find it interesting how God aligns things when He wants to make a point. I had planned this email several weeks ago based on a devotion I had read by Oswald Chambers and a scripture God had quickened to me in my personal devotional time. Then this morning one of the guys in our men’s
- [Shaken and Stirred](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/shaken-and-stirred/) - Contrary to that well known James Bond saying, “shaken not stirred”, the other day I was shaken and stirred after watching a recommended series on Netflix. MAID is not a feel-good series; it is a bit dark in its reality; the language can be uncomfortable as it uses that word that starts with the letter
- [The Long Game – Being Expectant and Faithful People](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/the-long-game-being-expectant-and-faithful-people/) - We live in an instant age where speed of activity is regarded as essential. As a society we spend a great deal of time trying to improve efficiency. The recent COVID-19 lockdown had slowed down the pace at which we were travelling. I have noticed in the past few weeks the pace is picking up again.
- [‘Help yourself’ to a love that is beyond understanding](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/help-yourself-to-a-love-that-is-beyond-understanding/) - I share with you that I am a sinner, yet ‘proud’ to have my sins forgiven by Jesus’ dedication to His Father’s will (His death on the cross). I attend church partly because most who attend also recognise they are sinners. The other reason I attend is because it empowers me to respond differently to the
- [Let it Begin With Me](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/let-it-begin-with-me/) - If I am honest, I have always desired to make my mark in the world. I guess in some ways we are all trying to achieve something to stand out, to create a legacy, change the world in some way. In fact, in our modern age a whole industry of self-help schemes and coaching for

- [Finding Purpose](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/finding-purpose/) - At a recent PK Friday morning online men’s discussion group, this question was discussed, “Is there a difference between success and significance?” It is a question we all have to answer, and we also need to ask the question, “How does that play out in my life, today?” When I was 14 years of age,
- [Another Viewpoint](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/another-viewpoint/) - As I watch the development of the different situations we presently find ourselves in, there are still questions left hanging in the air such as what will church look like going forward? There is a new vocab such as moving to “a new normal”. I was wondering where was God amongst all this change, where
- [God’s Word is Timely for Every Season](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/gods-word-is-timely-for-every-season/) - Long ago I concluded that the Word of God has a word or direction for every season of Man and for each individual man. So, in this time of life in NZ, what could and does scripture say to us? For many of us it is a time of uncertainty, financial loss not of our

- [My Impact on the World Around Me](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/my-impact-on-the-world-around-me/) - I watched some of the Sir David Attenborough series Seven Worlds, One Planet. I don’t watch a lot of television so I was amazed by the imagery, but I was also concerned by the message. Now I don’t want to get into the argument about whether global warming is real or not. What I
- [Being Men of Understanding](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/being-men-of-understanding/) - By Tony McKeown - We often want the easy path. It’s part of human nature to want to get there quickly. Our tendency is to find the quickest route to the destination: To get the answers before the lesson comes. To “clock” the game by as many cheats or formulae as we can find. To read
- [7 Benefits of a Men’s Group](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/7-benefits-of-a-mens-group/) - by Justin St. Vincent - At PK, we are advocates and ambassadors for Men's Groups. After being involved with Men's Groups for many years, I thought it would be helpful to our growing community of Christian men to explore what are the benefits of being connected and involved in a Men's Group. Life will throw
- [The Spiritual Battle](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/the-spiritual-battle/) - by Len Buttner - We are in a spiritual battle like no other. That simple statement means it is time to pay attention. Let’s start with the basic principles of how the spiritual world works. Everything visible and physical is controlled by and results from that which is invisible and spiritual. Everything that occurs in
- [The Way It Was Meant To Be](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/the-way-it-was-meant-to-be/) - by Sam Tolley - Have you ever thought to yourself this is not how life was meant to be? In this prolonged season of isolation, disruption, and loss of freedom, I often think this is not right, this is not normal, this isn’t the way life was meant to be. In this prolonged season of
- [What Do You Know?](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/what-do-you-know-2/) - The other day I was reading Psalm 40 in my morning devotional time. As I was reading, the words came to mind of a song we used to sing with the students at chapel in my days as a Christian school principal. The locally written original song, Out of the Clay*, was an exact quote
- [The Fruit of the Spirit in Action](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/the-fruit-of-the-spirit-in-action/) - A while ago I had an instance of helping an older man in distress. I was coming out of Bunnings when the man next to me couldn’t start his car so he asked if I would jump start his vehicle. He thought he had a flat battery and he went on to tell me this

- [Taking My Power Back](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/taking-my-power-back/) - From a Christian worldview we could easily think we are being marginalised by some powerful social voices which appear to be taking away free speech and religious freedom. It is easy to focus on what we perceive we have lost. Sadly, in most of the contentious issues the horse seems to have bolted, but what
- [Roll Call](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/roll-call/) - Today’s guest writer is Phil Strong, Senior Leader at ZION, a church community in Te Awamutu. Phil is also a published author and speaker whose aim is “Helping you to live a life of purpose on purpose.” Today he shares with us this thought-provoking message.

- [Your Significant Role](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/your-significant-role/) - Following the death of my father I am now the oldest living Monahan male in our family. So, I’ve been thinking about what that looks like for me spiritually? What mantle and responsibility am I carrying? Given our times I think these are important questions whether we have spiritual oversight over just ourselves, our marriage,
- [A Little Kindness Can Go A Long Way](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/a-little-kindness-can-go-a-long-way/) - During our earlier Covid lockdowns, the public were directed by the Prime Minister and other government officials to “be kind”. Even more alarming, was the way that New Zealanders were treating one another, proving it was obviously necessary to ask people to “be kind”. People were unable to get what they wanted in a supermarket
- [A Time to Dream](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/a-time-to-dream/) - Thank you to the men who have attended our weekday devotion zoom group over the last week and a half. These have been very well received and highly appreciated by those taking part.

- [Join the Group Leaders Discussion](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/join-the-group-leaders-discussion/) - Thank you to those who participated in the group leaders zoom meeting last week on Wednesday.

We are going to offer
- [Group Leaders’ Discussion Forum on Zoom](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/group-leaders-discussion-forum-on-zoom/) - Invitation to Group Leaders’ Discussion Forum on Zoom It is interesting how a different situation can cause you to act on something you have been considering for a while. Our organisation is a network, but it can only truly operate as a network if it has regular two-way communication. This has prompted me to establish
- [Supporting Those Who Are Grieving](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/supporting-those-who-are-grieving/) - Today’s guest writer is Michael Hempseed, author, TEDx Speaker and PK speaker. Michael presented an elective on this topic at PK Christchurch last month. This was very well received so we asked Michael to share these insights so we could all benefit from his wisdom. I give talks all over New Zealand on topics such
- [You Can Change Your Legacy](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/you-can-change-your-legacy/) - Lockdown produces some interesting by-products, one that I have witnessed is that fathers appear to have more time to interact with their children. It started me thinking about my own father who died a couple of years ago. I largely have very positive memories of my father. He was a man who was brought up
- [Is it time to hit the reset button?](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/is-it-time-to-hit-the-reset-button/) - There is an old saying that “every cloud has a silver lining” which loosely translated means that there is some good in every situation. Our present situation is no different. There are opportunities in lockdown to take time aside with God that we would not have in our normal busy life. So, with that in
- [Our Influence](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/our-influence/)
- [My Startling Realisation and Appreciation](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/my-startling-realisation/) - Years ago as a young Dad I took a sales team to Hong Kong as part of a sales incentive package. Those were the days when you could have overseas conferences that weren’t conferences but pure fun incentive package junkets. However, I should say that the team had achieved a great 12-month sales result, so
- [Never Underestimate the Impact](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/never-underestimate-the-impact/) - It was possibly 15 years ago at a PK event that I was impacted by a 10-minute video that played during the conference after the morning break. I decided after watching that video that this would be my choice in the future if I faced a similar situation. Sometimes it is the effect of what
- [A Father in the Faith](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/a-father-in-the-faith/) - by Aaron More - I have always been fascinated by the life of David. As a child this is an easy fascination to understand, what boy doesn’t want to read of a youth defeating a giant with a sling? This interest intensified in my teens as I had a short period where three different strangers approached

How many of us, when we look over our week, have inconsistent behaviours depending on our environment? A Sunday church behaviour, a Monday to Friday work behaviour, a home and family behaviour? Integrity is all about our character;

- [God’s Gift](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/gods-gift/) - My first mission trip was to India. There, standing on a busy, crowded street one day, God said to me, “You see a crowd but I see individuals and I know everyone by name, and I sent My Son to save them”. As I stood there, I realised that my perspective had changed and I

The encouragement reflected in these seminars has been largely based on my journey to and into this season and watching
- [Real Community](https://promisekeepers.org.nz/real-community/) - The Fingerprint of God by Gary Colville - It was an electric moment. You could almost hear a pin drop twice in one day.
