I was thinking about divorce recently. Not to worry, I wasn’t thinking of it in direct relation to my current marriage to my first wife (unpick the faux pas from that!) I was thinking of it in terms of what a tragedy and a trauma it is on so many different levels. Even in the […]
Read More Compelled by Compassion, Motivated by MercyI read a brilliant tweet from Frank Viola (@FrankViola) this evening which was a quote from Ronald Reagan that said the following. “Status Quo is Latin for the mess we’re in!” Of course my small political comment would be that administrations such as his, Carter’s, Bush’s, Clinton’s and now Obama’s for all their nice words […]
Read More The Agitation And Irritation Of Righteousness“Are you happy?” That is what a dear friend of mine asked. As it was a text it was more in text speech – but this is not a text and so you get the point of the question. There were other questions attached to it which stimulated this blog entry. Apparently my cousins across […]
Read More Happiness and Joy in the Life of a Believer: A Brother’s BeliefI saw this picture (Thanks to The Meta Picture) and at first recognised it for it’s humour and then looked closer and considered how real it is. Sure it reflects the American concept of the normal life, but it’s not that different to the British version. In fact quite a number of cultures and sub-cultures […]
Read More This Is Freedom?I wonder what people mean when they sing ‘Fall Afresh On Me’. I remember earlier in my journey applying the song to church meeting occasions. It’s a song of great significance to me and helped me a great deal to focus whether it was preaching a sermon or sharing a testimony or something along those […]
Read More Falling Fresh On MeThere’s a book review coming on David Platt’s book Radical. Since then he’s written a follow-up called Radical Together which has this interesting promo for it. Consider it carefully and let’s see what you think. For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd
Read More Radical TogetherSo I spent February in the book of Matthew and March going through Proverbs. April sees a break from the month long series on a particular theme. There might be little themes cropping up and the occasional mini-series, but it’s a breather, to get some odd bits and pieces that rattling along in the mental […]
Read More Don’t Take It For Granted – What Is Prayer?Not that long ago, I was sitting in this church service and it so happens that the topic the speaker chooses is on Spontaneity. He gave a really good description of what it is to be spontaneous and it had something to do with almost acting on an impulse without great thought and with little […]
Read More Spontaneity and SpiritualityListening to this song I recall the last recorded monologue of Jesus before His crucifixion in the gospel according to John where He informs His disciples that one of the good things about Him departing is that God will send another Comforter. Considering the ministry of the Holy Spirit, my heart chimes in with this […]
Read More DMCD Songs: Spirit of Heaven – Stuart TownendAs I’ve shared before, I’m still reading at a progressive rate and it’s not unusual (as the Prophet Tom Jones once shared in song) for me to have a number of books on the go. I have something called a Wednesday book, which I’ve only tended to read on a Wednesday. (See how it works? […]
