Not a long one at all for today’s blog. Just a question to consider. What if church really was more as community than a congregation? For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd
Read More What If? Community Rather Than CongregationThere is some good stuff being written online and after a while I’ve got up with just a sample of some writing worth reading – enjoy. This is an outstanding entry challenging the view of Christianity that sees itself at the apex. Convicting, thought-provoking and so something worth considering on its own merits. Guy highlights […]
Read More Sites to See – July EditionIt is important that I put a disclaimer on the following comments. I don’t have a problem with leadership and submitting to it. I acknowledge the people God puts over me in life to whom I’m held accountable. Leadership is crucial in all areas of life. Likewise to a large degree the comments are not […]
Read More My Problem With ‘The minister’Some of these entries are off the cuff, some of these are thought through over hours and in some cases days and longer. This one is perhaps something that has been ticking under the radar for roughly ten years now. I am from an age that remembers young people expressing themselves through grafitti. It was […]
Read More Location Vocation LocationJust reflecting on some church meeting experiences I’ve had and it’s interesting to see what the purpose of people’s mouths are during the meeting.

Read More Church Life – My Mouth Is For …The church is like a constitutional monarchy, where Jesus is allowed the title, but has no authority to make any decisions. (A.W. Tozer as quoted in Simple Church by Tony and Felicity Dale – p 25.) The book I’ve just started provided the quote for today’s blog entry. It was through the usual connections (King […]
Read More Who’s the Boss: Jesus Is Lord … On A Constitutional BasisUseful video that my friend (can I call him that?) and brother in Christ Arthur posted a couple of months ago. Still worth engaging with the basic issues it seeks to address as people still look to honour God, follow Christ and serve others for the sake of the gospel. For His Name’s Sake Shalom […]
Read More How To Explain Simple Church in 2 MinutesI love the challenge of what we believe versus what we live out. It is often the case that we sing and declare things in a setting that the rest of our lives contradict. It is ever more the case that the challenge is reinforced, what would happen if we lived according to that which […]
Read More What Part Of The Gospel Is Optional?Every now and then, it’s good to give a little insight in what I tend to read online. I have a habit of making notes on some of the sites I’ve particularly enjoyed reading in a while and so the opportunity arose again following a really good session of material online that was worth sharing, […]
Read More The World Of The Web According To DMCDI don’t talk often. I talk at work – it’s what I’m paid to do and I do that to the best of my ability. I have banter with my colleagues and I’m texting quite often when the football is on. Yet for all that I really don’t talk often. By that I mean, I […]
