Precedent. That which says that future acts can be determined by previous acts. I reckon that’s how God had it from the beginning. He did day one, so you know He had the next day in order. He had the fruit in the tree, so His provision didn’t have to be questioned. His victories for […]
Read More DMCD Songs: God’s Gonna Do It Again – Alvin SlaughterThere are some days I don’t want to go through. It gives me a headache thinking of them as they approach, and when they come the headache worsens. It might be an impending bill, a dreaded inspection or a cataclysmic confrontation that needs to take place which might get messy. I am not a big […]
Read More The Necessary DaysWhen she came in, she spoke of how frustrated she was. She spoke of how she felt as though there was nothing stimulating for her and how people would talk about things changing with no sign of actual change taking place. As I heard her, my heart sank. It was an all too familiar story. […]
Read More Gospel Triggers – Communally Looking At Life Through God’s EyesI absolutely love this song. the feel melodically and harmony-wise. The lyrical content.

Read More Damaged Goods in Sophisticated Settings: Why People Need The LordThere was a large glass plated edifice. On it as written by man was the word ‘CHURCH’. It had been there for many a year and over time little had happened to change it, for it was set by the people who had set it up. It appeared to be the way things would be. […]
Read More Church: A Short VisionOne of the things I love about the collection of books that makes up the Bible we read is that they are full of stories. I am very sure that if it was just a statistical book it would be very boring and unlikely to transform anyone. Yet the power is in the story. Something […]
Read More God’s Story, Our Story For Their Story – Not Cutting A Long Story ShortA while back, I had a good friend. One of the things about this friend was just the great loyalty and dedication displayed. The servant heart was something that was somewhat taken advantage of by others.
