Weeping and rejoicing. Following Jesus is not a happy thing all the time. There are times following Jesus where there’s a recognition of the state individuals, relationships and communities are in when they choose to reject God. That calls for weeping. Even as we remember what causes separation with the Creator of the universe and […]
Read More Dryden Reflections 2022: What MattersThere have been times throughout the year where I’ve been irritable and grumpy. If that attitude lasts too long then I get to be really ratty and unpleasant to be with, like a dark cloud is ever hanging over me and a growl acts like the lightning in that stormy mood. There will be something […]
Read More Dryden Thanks 2022: ProvisionThere is a precious hymn that was rendered particularly superbly by James Moore back in the previous century (Moore’s version came in two parts – the first one here and the second one here – you get the link to hear it and enjoy it). That hymn is The Old Rugged Cross which has that […]
Read More Dryden Thanks 2022: Sights of SuccessHere’s the premise of the conversation. Previously in the conversation: Blessed are those who read carefully at least twice to reach a considered perspective. With such a blessed approach you’ll see Hesediah give a very intriguing approach to the afterlife. If you’re going to answer the question seriously, you got to take the kind of approach […]
Read More ADBC: 49 – All I Am Saying, Is Give Life A ChanceHere’s the premise of the conversation. Previously in the conversation: It is marvellous reading the words my brother blogs about. He gets his thoughts down so well that I am duly engrossed in what he shares and can consider it carefully. Take his first port of call in explaining the relationship between law and wisdom. The […]
Read More ADBC: 48 – Ways To Learn, The Bill, And Yes, Prime MinisterHere’s the premise of the conversation. Previously in the conversation: When we were growing up, my brother was seen as the pessimist of the family. I reflect on that as a comparative statement, although I’m not sure if he regards himself to be much of a speaker of hope. His responses in the conversation reinforce his […]
Read More ADBC: 47 – How The Good, Right And True Could Matter To YouHere’s the premise of the conversation. Previously in the conversation: I honour and cherish those who take time to consider a question I ask and process it carefully and answer accordingly. I often find the considered response of greater worth than a glib throwaway response that happens to sound right. Hesediah cannot disrespect a question however […]
Read More ADBC: 46 – Wisdom, Abortion & That Wide-Screen IdolHere’s the premise of the conversation. Previously in the conversation: Learning is not automatic all the time. My brother shows the aptitude and diligence in addressing what he’s learnt in addressing the question of what is meant by the creation mandate to subdue the earth. It is the sort of outline that I wholeheartedly encourage you […]
Read More ADBC: 45 – Getting Old, Getting What You Deserve & Getting JusticeHere’s the premise of the conversation. Previously in the conversation: Whether you’ve given consumerism and materialism any thought, it will do you the world of good to tuck into my brother’s explanation of it and the moral dimension concerning them both. It is such a majestic piece of work, that really he owes us to write […]
Read More ADBC: 44 – Deluded Frontiers and The Delusion of InterventionHere’s the premise of the conversation. Previously in the conversation: Hesediah is not obliged to please anyone, he is only concerned with what he can discern to be true in a given situation. This is abundantly apparent in his consideration of the gym and health issue that I put to him. He wasn’t primarily concerned about […]
