Orlando Dillon. Paul refers to the believers as saints in Christ. The role of the saint now is seen as a special type of person with excellent qualities that help others. Orlando certainly befits the term. Find out about his Kidz Hub initiative through the link. I had the huge benefit of making his acquaintance […]
Read More Exploring The HomeFrom the outset let me say a positive word about entertaining. That which entertains can genuinely be a source of pleasure to the soul. Someone who sings well, someone who has an ability to keep people glued to their seats by their oratory, someone of that sort, can be a medicine and a needed tonic […]
Read More Edify or Entertain?It’s not something I mention here often. If at all. I preach. OK, when I say that, what I mean is that in some gatherings, at some times, I’ve been asked to outline a monologue to engage with listeners about some aspect of the Christian life.

Read More My Greatest Sermon EverFollowing the previous blog entry about what the church is not, it makes sense to consider what it could be. Consider the video and the questions held within it. For His Name’s Sake Shalom C. L. J. Dryden

They know it. If anyone seeks to tell them otherwise then it only highlights how they are a part of a dangerous and misguided […]
Read More Doing Business With People Who Want To Do Jesus BusinessHoly Ground: The Narrow View It is amazing how some of us read our Bibles and come to interesting conclusions that effectively miss the point. Take the church building. I understand some people see this physical structure as something of great importance. Indeed some refer to the space used for the main services as the […]

If I stick around something long enough and I can carefully go about showing just how bad the thing is.

Read More Finding The FaithfulCarry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfil the law of Christ. (Galatians 6:2) There is something about this verse that has huge consequences for how we relate with brothers and sisters in Christ. It’s also got to impact how we spend our time with each other.
