This here blog is not always about topical issues. I don’t read the news and then suddenly feel the need to blog about what I read. Sometimes I go out of my way not to be topical, because I don’t see the need or more often than not there are others who have written about […]
Read More Change for Justice, Justice for a ChangeI love the music of Jon Gibson. Not everything he’s ever done, but he’s done a lot that I regard highly. For sure he doesn’t get the plaudits he deserves for his brilliant musicianship, but that’s cool. As long as he knows he’s a blessing to the Body of Christ that’s all that matters. Recently […]
Read More Layers for a MasterpieceCalling ten of his servants, he gave them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Engage in business until I come.’ (Luke 19:13 ESV) Since he was 12 years old, Jesus was aware that he should be about his Father’s business. Chapter 19 of Luke is typical of how Jesus went about it. When he went to […]
Read More A Look at Luke 19 – Engaging In The BusinessThen he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” And Peter answered, “The Christ of God.” And he strictly charged and commanded them to tell this to no one, saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be […]
Read More A Look at Luke 9 – Who is He?But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful. (Luke 6:35-36 ESV) The teachings of Jesus are still […]
Read More A Look at Luke 6 – Godly LoveI like the videos of John Green. When I was wondering what to write about, I saw this video and was struck by just how little I know of the refugee issues. The last comment about dehumanising refugees struck a chord about what the point of the good news should be about. We have dehumanised […]
Read More Refugees and the Human ChallengeThis part of following Jesus is not the glamorous bit, but it remains core to our identity. It’s well expressed in this video. Enjoy. For His Name’s Sake Shalom C. L. J. Dryden
Read More We Are Servants: Our Transformed Identity from Caesar KalinowskiYeah, this is the entry you have been waiting for. I am sick and tired of the rampant corruption manifesting in so many different areas of society. Easy to point to the political realm. Easy to refer to those countries with corruption rife. Yet corruption is very much evident here and now in the West. […]
Read More What To Do About CorruptionWe are different. What we do about this is the challenging issue of yesterday and today. What has happened historically is that those differences have been used against us. Difference used to divide and as it does it leaves fragments. We live fragmented lives with cosmetic appeals to wholeness through shared experiences in consumer goods […]
