Sometimes it’s best not to question certain practices and norms, because when you start to question you start on a slippery slope to rebellion against that which our fathers and forefathers held in high regard. Take for example clothes. I do believe that clothes makes the man. I do believe that fashion makes a statement […]
Read More It’s A Formality – Part OneI love reading. I know you know that. I know you probably don’t know that if you don’t know me, but if you get me, you’ll know that I love reading. I think I read quite a lot. I’m not a better person because I read a lot, I’m a better person by the grace […]
Read More What Do You Do When You’ve Finished Reading?I 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 LovesOne of the amazing images described in scripture is the time when peoples of every ethnic group will surround the throne of God and give Him worship. What impresses me about that is how it highlights the majesty of our great God and how only He can bring all of His creation in a way […]
Read More Build A Bridge – Alvin SlaughterI would not be writing this blog if I had gone a different way not too long ago. I could have been what I call a corporate Christian. Now by corporate, I’m obviously not talking about into the gathering as a whole. What I mean by corporate Christian is viewing the whole thing as a […]
Read More Mistakes I Have MadeI did a public prayer for the first time in ages recently and it was weird. Weird in the sense that there are certain factors that you consider when you do a public prayer that you might not consider in a private closet prayer. In as much as it’s a prayer to God on behalf […]
Read More Real PrayerIt should be fairly clear by now that moving from Stoke-on-Trent to Little Hulton at the end of 2009 physically (although there’s an argument that I’d left before then) was very traumatic. The difficulty of the transitional stage of working in Stoke-on-Trent whilst living in Little Hulton in January was a mental strain more than […]
Read More Never Going Back?I realise that not every blog entry has to be a mini-essay and treatise on the issues in me head. Sometimes short and sweet can be just as good as long, with pictures, etc. Anyhow I was thinking, why are we so content with church that’s not really in line with the character that the […]
Read More Some Bugging Thoughts and QuestionsSo I subscribe to some blogs as you know, and I read this here and thought it was inspired. It lead to a lot more videos that I found on the way, but I’ll let you in on those later on. In the meantime, just take on how wacky and lingo driven the Christian experience […]
Read More Learning ChristianeseThis is a song ‘we sing at our church’ wonderful phrase that’s like the tourist experience of seeing food that the locals eat that you eat at your home too. How quaint, eh? Positively wonderful, if they sing songs like that, maybe they won’t be that bad after all even if they have not ticked […]
