The mission of Christ was not to be served but to serve. That lays a template for those who follow Him to likewise have the heart of a servant – not a volunteer. The servant is at the beck and call of those who she serves. That is why we call Jesus, Lord. He calls […]
Read More Called To Be ServedI was just wondering again … Why are a lot of churches inclined to stick to ‘their own kind’ and not be multi-racial, multi-generational, multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, multi-lingual expression of the life-changing power of Jesus that celebrates the diversity of humanity in the oneness we share in Christ? Just wondering. Carry on. For His Name’s Sake […]
Read More Just Wondering … About The ChurchIt is remarkably humbling and liberating to engage in a conversation with the saints in Christ who have absolutely no idea what the answer is, and are humble enough to express that. It is sad to say that for some because they follow the One True God they somehow think they have all the One […]
Read More I’m Sorry I Don’t Have The AnswerYou know when you’re reading a book – or imagine you know when you’re reading a book if you don’t read a book – and you’ve got to a good bit but you have to nip off to do something important, so you leave a bookmark on the page to remind you where you were […]
Read More The Gospel SharingThere was a time when I hardly mentioned my family life. It appears as though every other post has to mention someone in the Dryden Household. Ho hum. I cannot quite put my finger on it, but with the development of Zoë Dryden – our third daughter – who has only recently turned 2 years […]
Read More All DoneWhen considering life in Christ we come to another tricky, sticky issue. In coming in touch with Jesus there is a quandary about now that you’ve met Him, what do you do? Being brought up in church, after my first personal encounter with Christ that lead to my baptism, I fell into the comfortable routine […]
Read More So You’re A New Believer … God Help You!I had a conversation with an old friend the other day (as in he’s a friend from old times, he’s not that old … yet). He was fairly sceptical of the rise in social media that meant that something said in a private conversation one minute could be broadcast over the internet within that very […]
Read More Big Brother Is Watching You … Especially If You’re His Little BrotherSo I started something when I considered realising potential and then I went a bit further when I explored a little about playing out of position. This is not so much the conclusion of a trilogy as an exclamation point in an ongoing paragraph of life. Most parents would understand the sentiment of wanting the […]
Read More Wanting The Best For Your Children Means Living The BestListen carefully to the lyrics of this song. Sure I could say that for any gospel song worth its salt, but in this case it is worth paying careful attention again. In my humble opinion this song could not be written without walking through a number of life’s paths where there were significant obstacles that […]

A picture that is easy to understand and its basics can be seen in the other side. Football analogies. I love them. I love football. I have a point to make. I make the point by using something I love. Just […]
