I like the concept of a homecoming ceremony so that when someone dies rather than getting all upset and everything, we actually celebrate the life that was and usher them home. It’s not completely heartless towards those who mourn and this song is right for the occasion. I enjoyed watching it. May have a little […]
Read More How Do We Say Goodbye?How much better to get wisdom than gold! To get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver. (Proverbs 16:16) Hold on a minute, haven’t I read something like this before? If you read Proverbs 3:14; 8:10 and 8:19 they intimate the same thing. Now back in the day reading something like that would just […]
Read More MTP16 Lest I Forget Help Me RememberFaithfulness is not a hugely valued commodity especially when opposed to the value of choice. As choice is so vaunted and regarded as essential to quality life not much is said about staying with the made choice. I reckon this is down to two key factors.

Read More MTP05 Wisdom and FaithfulnessIt was all so much easier when I was at home with my parents.

Having not covered his positions on everything, how could I possibly do that. I am however an admirer of his passion for Jesus, the gospel and God being glorified more than anything else. It is that passion for Jesus that is so […]
Read More Is This What I Believe? God As Creator“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many […]
Read More Is This What I Believe? Few Are ChosenThis one is straightforward and brings a neat end to the issues of what I believe when it comes to the relationship between God and man. Covering it briefly, I believe we do not have a heart for God which renders good deeds and pleasant sentiments virtually worthless and something needs to change so we […]
Read More Is This What I Believe? For HimBehold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. (Matthew 10:16) Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person. (Colossians 4:6) But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ […]
Read More Lesson to Learn in Life: Take Your Faith Seriously & GraciouslyI’ve written before on some beautiful experiences I’ve had with people who walk with Jesus and have differing opinions on that journey.
