Being a Christian is a fascinating walk of peace in a war torn world. The older I get, the more I value the peace that comes from above. I treasure it as something very different from versions of peace that come from alternate sources. For example there is the version of peace where two warring […]
Read More Where The Spirit Of The Lord Is … Conflict and PeaceThe songs I heard in my formative years on the planet have a resonance, rich and deep for the times I’ve heard it and for the place the meaning has in my life now. This is one of those songs, by one of the great pioneers in Christian music. My Mum or her friend would […]
Read More CD Songs: I Just Want To Know You – Andrae CrouchThe scripture reading from a service I attended recently got me thinking about what is arguably one of the biggest killers in life. It continues to turn everything upside down as far as life is concerned. To live, you have to die. There is no other way to live, than to die. When Jesus is […]
Read More With Jesus The Way To Live Is To DieI love Stevie Wonder, as in I love what the man has done in music and all of that stuff. The man is a genius as far as I’m concerned. Got to be honest with you, though. I actually prefer JPK’s version of this song than the one he placed on his huge Songs in […]
Read More DMCD Songs: Love’s In Need – John P. KeeRemind me to tell you of the remarkable story of my wife, her son and my surname. Fascinating stuff, and it’s a true story too. In the meantime all you need to know is that my beloved wife has an equally precious and highly valued son. Indeed to date he is the only son from […]
Read More Appreciating Family In Ever Changing TimesThe mistake I made was going to the service thinking I could just slip in, sit and take in the God-stuff and slip out again without anything major happening. It’s not a mistake I make often, but it is a mistake I made that day. The preacher was passionately declaring what God had put on […]
Read More He Won’t Leave Me AloneIf God has made us in his image, we have returned him the favour. Voltaire The futility of idolatry is worshipping something far less than we give it credit for. Imagine your two year old daughter getting some crayons and doing their version of Mummy and Daddy, then showing it to you. The standard reaction […]
Read More Making Jesus In Our Own ImageWhat an abused word ‘love’ is. We apply to talk about cars, clothes, pets, food (chocolate is excepted, it’s good to love chocolate), people we’ve hardly ever seen and of course for the mother-in-law (blame Les Dawson for that one). That is why of the defining attributes of God it is reassuring to know that […]
Read More DMCD Songs: I Want To Love You – John P, KeeI just cannot tell you how often being a parent, I feel like I’m parenting myself! I see my attitudes towards my parents in the way my children behave. Though it’s a completely different context and they are genuinely very different people to me (for starters I was never the daughter!) it is amazing how […]
Read More Child Of God, You Will LearnThere is a reason why these songs are referred to as classics, because as with the genre with teh same name, these are musical pieces that endure. The reason why a song like this can endure is because of the richness of the lyrical content. You add to that a superb choral arrangement, and all […]
