When considering life in Christ we come to another tricky, sticky issue. In coming in touch with Jesus there is a quandary about now that you’ve met Him, what do you do? Being brought up in church, after my first personal encounter with Christ that lead to my baptism, I fell into the comfortable routine […]
Read More So You’re A New Believer … God Help You!Analogies. I love them. One picture to help with the point that you’re making. A picture that is easy to understand and its basics can be seen in the other side. Football analogies. I love them. I love football. I have a point to make. I make the point by using something I love. Just […]
Read More Playing Out Of PositionLet me see if I’ve got this right. When people get married the deal is that this arrangement is til death do us part. Yet some stats somewhere suggest that Christian marriages are just as likely to end in divorce as non-Christian marriage. Whatever the stats say the reality is it is not uncommon to […]
Read More Talking Point: Christian DivorceHere’s a tricky thing about following Jesus. It can be an intensely personal and individual journey. To a large degree you’re responsible for your own development and commitment to Christ. When we are judged we won’t be able to blame church leaders and all that kinda jazz.

Read More Be Careful Lest They FallImagine having everything you ever wanted. Like me you might have a wish-list that’s useful for when people want to get you a birthday present.

He, however, is only too aware that what made His time with His disciples so special was that they were with Him, He was […]
Read More Talking It Over With My FriendRight – the title of this blog should have attracted and repelled certain punters, but I guess that’s the point. First up I’m not comfortable knowing that the church can be categorised on ethnic/skin colour tones, but I acknowledge it’s use as a descriptive term for sociological facts (i.e. there are groups of God-followers who […]
Read More Talking Point: The Black Church Keeping Women SingleI remember first hearing this song around 20 years ago and thinking it was a song of joy and life and then when I explored the song further discovered that it indeed was a song worth rejoicing over as it not only reaffirmed my identity as a child of the King, but also the context […]
Read More DMCD Songs – Stained Glass – Keith GreenI haven’t blogged in a while. The posts that have been on here recently have been ones I’d scheduled a while ago. The reason for that is mainly because I’m not well. If it were a flu-type thing, that would be easy to ascertain and deal with. Yet the ailment is not a physical one, […]
Read More Doing My Head InJust a thought.
