I just could not do it any more. One of my (many) problems is that I am not really the confrontational type. I can be brusque and up front and blunt when I want to be, and I’ve been informed that I can appear somewhat intimidating at times, though I put that down to the […]
Read More Compassion or ComplacencyI do not often use this blog for prayer request. I have used it for prayer points on the odd occasion, and I’m more than delighted to pray for stuff meself, but I rarely if ever use it to ask you to pray for me for stuff. Dunno why. Just been the way. Until now. […]
Read More Prayer Request – JobsAbigail, is our precious 6 year-old middle daughter. As you can appreciate leaving a place where she was accustomed and had made friends and moving to a strange new place, can be discomforting, traumatic and unnerving. In a previous school she had suffered from some of the effects of the trauma of the new and […]
Read More Celebrating God’s Achievements In Your LifeKeith Giles writes over there at Subversive1. If your Christianity is relatively comfortable because it doesn’t demand that much from you other than to believe that Jesus is out for your best interests and wants you to be happy, warm and cuddly, then you might want to give Subversive a miss. Likewise if you are […]
Read More The Church That Embraces Those Society RejectsWhat I love about the song is the reminder of being made clean. Of course if you’ve never felt dirty before, if you’ve never felt stained, tattered and marred inside by your thoughts, your desires, your actions, your motives and your impulses, then this is not an issue to you. If you’ve been clean all […]
Read More DMCD Songs: Clean – Gaither Vocal BandSo in certain versions of the Bible the bit that outlines Jesus’ guide to prayer they stop at the bit that talks about forgiving. I understand that bit. I am still a sucker, though, for the KJV ending that talks about acknowledging that the Kingdom, power and glory belongs to God. Today I had another […]
Read More For Thine Is The …Put Your Trust In No Man. Here’s your challenge. Find that phrase in scripture. Need a hand? Well here’s something close to it. Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save. (Psalm 146:3) Good. So we’re sorted, right? It’s clear – do not trust people. Simple right? Errr … actually yes. Well […]
Read More Failing in Fellowship: Trust Me On This OneI am glad that people have referred to this as the information age. It certainly appears as though there has been an explosion of availability of information from especially sources like the internet. At your finger-tips you can identify the capital of Bolivia (Sucre), the seventh president of India (V. V. Giri) and the great […]
Read More Knowledge and InformationI am a loner. My preference has been my own company. Even with a beautiful family of a loving wife and three really awesome daughters, I don’t always love spending every minute of my time with them. Despite being a loner, however, the love of God compels me again to understand that I am nothing […]
Read More What I Love About Church: FellowshipLet me be honest with you. I sit in on church services and hear people say that they don’t know what anyone else came to do, but they came to praise the Lord. I hear others remarking how the gathering is for the primary purpose of worship. Don’t get me wrong, praise and worship are […]
