I don’t usually blog on the Sabbath unless it’s on the topic of the Sabbath. I usually keep this time for family. Here I am though with my family enjoying life and embracing the rest as well as hopefully getting something good to eat eventually when Authrine has completed the sorting of Abigail’s hair. It […]
Read More What’s DMCD Reading At The Moment?I’m on the finishing strait of this mini diversion from the fasting series – after this just one more part to post and we’re done! The inspiration for this was a series of things happening on Tuesday that conspired to bring this about. I’ve shared my journey from being close-minded to a more considered approach […]
Read More Nothing Personal Part 3So just to remind you we’re in a brief four part excursion from the main series on fasting. Connections will be made later on. What triggered this off was a sequence of thoughts and events on Tuesday that compelled me to write this series on nothing personal. In the last entry I shared my journey […]
Read More Nothing Personal Part 2Now you’re probably thinking that I’ve gone off the boil on the whole fasting topic with the lack of new material on the issue. That thought is wrong.

It’s something that I am challenged with constantly in ensuring my faith is connected to my daily walk and my daily walk […]
Read More John Piper – The Achillies’ Heel of the Next GenerationOne of the key points in developing on the theme of the previous post is listening. I appreciate coming across material that makes me listen and think and respond in one way or another and the work of Jim McClarty definitely does that. It’s not about agreeing with him on everything, it’s about enjoying hearing […]
Read More Faith Is A Gift – Pastor Jim McClartyI came across Shawn Boonstra and the It Is Written ministry whilst in Jamaica. It is one of the few beautiful things that came from the time over there. I had finally succumbed to watching television after a number of days being above it all and focussing on going through my reading material. With the […]
Read More Trusting God’s Plan for Your LifeBut as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. (1 Timothy 6:11, 12 ESV) […]
Read More The Good Fight: My Current Perspective On The StruggleIt’s easy to be envious of those with clear plans for life – including education, spouse, children, pay-rises, promotions and early retirement to the villa in Marbella.
