I like watching movies. I like the issues they raise and the application to every day life. My beloved wife and I managed to grab some opportune moments to watch The Count of Monte Cristo. Based on a novel surrounding a man who was bitterly betrayed and escaped to wreak revenge on those who caused […]
Read More Power Of EmotionsSome of the things that people consider really important are not really that big a deal. Some issues that gets people all upset and argumentative in the larger scheme of things is not really worth the grief. For example the debate over free-will and predestination. Knowing how divisive we can be with useful cloaks of […]
Read More Treating People The Same?God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of […]
Read More Walking In The Light – Part OneI’m sure this is not how community works at all. I’m sure people freely decide to think things through carefully for themselves so they know why they are doing what they are doing. I’m sure people who have views, opinions and beliefs are in no way pressured to do so by their peers and contemporaries. […]
Read More I Wonder If This Is How Community Works?I really love this cartoon. When I saw it, I just chuckled to myself and said “Yes, yes I know the feeling.” Thankfully I believe He is finding community and loving to be a part of it and encouraging the brothers and sisters in it to keep on following Him and being His Body on […]

Do not just consider it from the perspective of marriage, consider carefully the implications for church living in a multi-cultural society, with a mission to reach those of different ethnicities. Consider those […]
Read More On Inter-Racial MarriagesTim Tebow. Apparently he plays what the poor cousins over the pond in the U.S. refer to as ‘football’ (whose actual use of the foot with the ball is so minimal … but anyway, God still loves them). Not only does he play, but apparently he’s a Christian as well. And apparently the two are […]
Read More Faith In The Real World: That Tebow Thing & Your LifeWilliam Becton & Friends. I don’t expect you to know who they are, and before 2000 I had no real idea who they were either. In my early months in Stoke-on-Trent I was exposed to some more black gospel artists than I was used to and among them was the aforementioned William Becton & Friends. […]
Read More Right In The Middle Of ItFeelings. Sometimes they come in for some criticism and other times they are somewhat overrated. It is fair to say that it is not easy to ignore them. They can also be a good indicator of how and where we are at a given moment. Just because we feel in such a way does not […]
Read More His Strength In My WeaknessIt really does take all-sorts. What you’re about to read is not an advert for the political/social philosophy of diversity. You might have a policy in your work place about diversity. I know my workplace does. As with a lot of employment policies it has good intentions, but because of the level of emotional and […]
