There are plenty of things that occupy the mind and they are all competing for space to take prominence in the mind. People make comments, you read something, there’s something on the radio, someone mentions a tune you love, you receive a message with a link to an article, the reminder tells you that you’re scheduled […]
Read More Making the Most of the CapacityComing across this video helped tremendously understand more about the importance of something that is not always seen easily. I am grateful for opportunities like this to consider why Jesus did it and what we should learn from it. For His Name’s Sake Shalom C. L. J. Dryden
Read More Why Did Jesus Curse the Fig Tree?We were talking as we usually do and he mentioned something about someone being upset that they had not been contacted in a while. That started something off in me that was not going to settle down in a hurry. What was at stake was the very nature of church. For some it’s enough to […]
Read More There’s More To It Than That: Church AgainJesus was spot on – it is more blessed to give than receive. Unfortunately, some have taken this too far and don’t know how to receive and get very awkward and uncomfortable when it comes to receiving. My wife put it so well in a conversation we had recently.

Read More The Blessing is in BothThis week has been incredibly taxing and challenging for me. As a result it’s put pressure on the rest of my family, thank God, though, they have been very resilient through it all and one aspect of the intensity is complete.

Today my understanding is a lot better and I remain grateful for the grace that gives the victory. Enjoy. For His Name’s Sake […]
Read More CD Songs: Grace by The O’Neal Twins (1983)I have to admit it. I am prone to rather loud and exuberant expressions of praise. It will sometimes come out like a roar. It can sometimes emit from me like a euphoric cry. This is often backed up with heaps of tears and dramatic body movements. I am not ashamed of it. It’s a […]
Read More A Breathtaking ContemplationMy handwriting at school was very close to awful. It was obviously legible enough to give teachers the impression I knew what was going on, but I am fairly certain I helped a number of those teachers need glasses such was the squinting and the working out what was what. All that handwriting and joined […]
Read More The Writer ThingExternal circumstances can create a lot of challenging situations. If there is a lack of certain fundamental aspects of the physical life we will deteriorate. Food, drink and clothing are the essentials we refer to. There is more to us than just eating and keeping warm, though. Modern sensibilities suggest that if you’re not in […]
Read More What They Cannot ContainI love me some Walter Hawkins and recently whilst doing some other work I treated myself to hearing a lot of his music again. It proved to be a valuable aid in the completion of my work. The music he produced with his choir featuring some outstanding vocal talent singing great truths of life with […]
