I love words. That’s not the first time I’ve said that and it won’t be the last. It is hopefully something that is fairly obvious from this here blog which is driven by them as well as the Other Place. In as much as I wouldn’t class myself as a high intellectual, I acknowledge that […]
Read More The Word In The Flesh – Not On PaperIf you ever get the chance, there’s a Jon Gibson song I really recommend you listen to called On Calvary. You might get it on iTunes, or Amazon, but obviously for both himself and meself it would be better if you just got it direct from his own web-site in the Buy Music section under […]
Read More Why I Love Jesus and Why I Love What I DoFrom time to time I get in those phases of thought on issues that concern more than me. Recently, I was informed by a close personal friend that someone I knew was struggling with their sexual identity. Sadly for the individual in question they belonged to certain church-folk who … to put it politely … […]
Read More Community of Compassion or Community of Hypocrisy?Over the last few days I’ve been bothered by the saga of Stephen in Acts 6 and 7. It’s what led to this morning’s video entries and subsequently to what I’ve to share at this juncture. I also hope as you make your way through it you’ll see how inextricably linked it is to our […]
Read More The Stephen Trial – Like The Face Of An AngelI’m really grateful for the brother who put these up on YouTube, I appreciate you have to wade your way through some material to get to the beginning of the Stephen speech, but it actually helps establish the crucial context for the speech.

One of the names I came across in that there scene was Michael W. Smith. Not that I heard any of his material. I was far too busy with other […]
Read More Breathe – Michael W. SmithIt baffles me why I haven’t done this sooner. What is up with me? What is going on? This song has opened the doors to the power of confession more than any sermon or bible study. Yeah a big statement I know and it’s not a slight against bible study or sermons, it’s just a […]
Read More Create In Me A Clean Heart – Keith GreenThis blog entry was written yesterday. A fair bit of preparation has gone into today’s proceedings, there’s the highlighting of the previous blog I wrote on this very subject. Earlier on today I posted the first musical tribute about today based on my heart’s desire and then around lunchtime I also put together another musical […]
Read More Thank God For MarriageFinally we complete the mini-series that I’ve been writing about the family and my developing understanding of the this crucial foundation of society. It would be useful to summarise how I came to this point with a couple of dating scenarios. In January 1990 I was a 12 year old boy whose concept of family […]
Read More Consider Yourself One Of The Family – Where I Am NowSo this is a part of the album that I’ve been enjoying here intermittently. I love the songs, I really do. Listening to them now, though, I begin to question. Not necessarily question them, but ask myself what does it suggest about the life of faith. What does it mean for the Presence of the […]
