That Bible, eh. It is a good book isn’t it? OK it is a volume that is a collection of books. Still good though. This morning’s post on Jesus as the Bread of Life was, as with the others, something that came out of hours of meditation, deliberation and contemplation. I’m not so swiftly inspired […]
Read More So Jesus, What Have You Done For Me Lately?I love words. That’s not the first time I’ve said that and it won’t be the last. It is hopefully something that is fairly obvious from this here blog which is driven by them as well as the Other Place. In as much as I wouldn’t class myself as a high intellectual, I acknowledge that […]
Read More The Word In The Flesh – Not On PaperAlthough I’ve not been blogging, I’ve been able to read other people’s blogs and one that I enjoy is Arthur Sido’s The Voice Of One Crying Out In Suburbia. A recent post he put together on the influence of Western thinking in how we read the Bible is one I strongly recommend reading. Without going […]
Read More Cultural ConditioningOver the last few days I’ve been bothered by the saga of Stephen in Acts 6 and 7. It’s what led to this morning’s video entries and subsequently to what I’ve to share at this juncture. I also hope as you make your way through it you’ll see how inextricably linked it is to our […]
Read More The Stephen Trial – Like The Face Of An AngelSo there’ll be some more information on the news of yesterday and where we’re going, etc. Before you get that info though I was just thinking about how it’s important to check when God is speaking and then act pretty sharp-ish on it. I relate God’s gracious and merciful approach that is still insistent especially […]
Read More Get Out! Or Face Trouble. How Much? A LotAnd to Adam he said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, ‘You shall not eat of it,’ cursed is the ground because of you; in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life; thorns and thistles […]
Read More Sounds A Bit Too Much Like Hard Work To MeI like to think I’m a relatively inquisitive learner. I don’t take what’s been told to me on face value. I enjoy thinking things through and considering other views. That’s not the case for everything. In some things I remain unyielding and because some things are deeply embedded it takes much for me to reconsider […]
Read More The Truth That God LovesUsually I prefer the understated, reserved and contained approach to matters. Rather than look for a raucous laugh by a loud suggestion I prefer the power of the quip, just slip it in the middle of a regular sentence to elicit a wry chuckle to those who pick it up or that little groan by […]
Read More Gratitude – Being ExtraCharm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. (Proverbs 31:30) This particular chapter in Proverbs is lauded for what has been known as the portrait of the virtuous woman, but really it’s about the virtuous wife and the difference is crucial. With this portrait we […]
Read More MTP31 – A Virtuous WifeEvery word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. Do not add to his words, lest he rebuke you and you be found a liar. (Proverbs 30:5-6) Food and drink today are not what they used to be. I cannot imagine people of my grandparents’ generation being […]
