Although I wouldn’t class myself as a political junkie I do love me some politics. Yeah I mean it. I love it. What I love about it is that it highlights what we do about issues of power, control, change and social movement. It still tickles me hearing people talk about how they hate politics […]
Read More To Vote Or Not To Vote Is Not The QuestionHe must have disappointed some. They were expecting someone to roll in and overthrow the oppressive political regime of the day. They wanted him to establish the throne back as it was in the old days. They longed for that. They longed for the good old days of glory, glory Israel. But no. Instead he […]
Read More It’s Not How Things Are Usually DoneThe story of Gideon is a fascinating one. Some are taken up with the times he checks if it’s God really instructing him. Others are taken up with the task of reducing an army in the thousands to the lower hundreds to face and defeat an army far greater in number and reputation. Those are […]
Read More Demolishing The IdolsHe did a good job. I applauded him. The word came across strong and clearly. There was enough in it for me to take something and think it through afterwards and I was already thinking of how I could converse about it with others afterwards. Yet it was the afterwards that really made the difference. […]
Read More What Happened AfterwardsI like hotel rooms. Don’t get me wrong, I like my home and there’s no place like it. I do enjoy, however, the special attention of a quality hotel and a quality hotel room. It’s your own space and for those brief moments you can arrange it as you want. If you wish to leave […]
Read More Do Not DisturbSoon I hope to post a review of a book I have just fininshed reading. What made this experience particularly unique for me was that I got to engage with the author as I was reading it. I would read a section and then message him to ask for some insight about the chapter I […]
Read More Talking To The AuthorAs I sit and watch I see characters completely devoted to their own cause. Not flexible at all to the thought of working with others especially if it comes to sacrificing their own platform. This is where I long to see a Christian alternative. An alternative that is not about one perspective overcoming another, but […]
Read More An Alternative To The PosturingPraying in line with the heart of God means praying for all people. That’s difficult to accept when we consider some of the categories in the ‘all people’. There are some people who hardly seem to merit a truly heartfelt prayer. Yet God still wants to save them. Despite their behaviour and words, as that […]
Read More Pray For Who?I must applaud my wife. Not because she’s threatening me with violence should I choose not to. I do so because she is truly a woman who gets stuck into anything she commits herself to. She watched the first episode of the new Daredevil series on Netflix and got proper stuck into the drama from […]
Read More Compelling Viewing, Compelling LivingAll of life is about God. That’s a lesson I keep learning just in case I think there’s an avenue untouched by the reality of Him. On this occasion I was busy minding my own business. Literally. My business among other things involves delivering Health & Safety training. That involves showing the Bradford Stadium Fire […]
