I’m sure your conscience is better than mine. Back in the day I did some things that would have been classed as ‘naughty’ but were really ‘bad’. I would be rumbled and then proceed to cry a river in apparent sorrow and plead for the mercy of the power that be. With the pleading was […]
Read More Godly Sorrow vs. Earthly SorrowThe songs I heard in my formative years on the planet have a resonance, rich and deep for the times I’ve heard it and for the place the meaning has in my life now.

Read More CD Songs: I Just Want To Know You – Andrae CrouchThe scripture reading from a service I attended recently got me thinking about what is arguably one of the biggest killers in life. It continues to turn everything upside down as far as life is concerned. To live, you have to die. There is no other way to live, than to die. When Jesus is […]
Read More With Jesus The Way To Live Is To DieI love Stevie Wonder, as in I love what the man has done in music and all of that stuff. The man is a genius as far as I’m concerned.

Read More In The Multitude Of CounselI was fascinated by the response to the release of the papers by the Hillsborough Independent Panel and the reaction of people surrounding it.

Read More Talking Point: What Does Justice Look Like?When you read the title, you might be forgiven in thinking that my sister has passed away. Thankfully that is not the case. I am just a big fan in paying tribute to the people who have made a great impact in my life, while they are still alive to read it. Oh and of […]
Read More My Tribute to Ruth Dryden: A Model of ConsistencyThe mistake I made was going to the service thinking I could just slip in, sit and take in the God-stuff and slip out again without anything major happening. It’s not a mistake I make often, but it is a mistake I made that day. The preacher was passionately declaring what God had put on […]
Read More He Won’t Leave Me AloneIf God has made us in his image, we have returned him the favour. Voltaire The futility of idolatry is worshipping something far less than we give it credit for.
