Solomon is a biblical character to be admired. There he is following in his father’s footsteps. There he is sorting out those that pose a threat to his reign. There he is conversing with God in a dream asking Him for the one thing he needs to rule well – wisdom. There he is wisely […]
Read More As Good As It GetsMy desire in seeking God is to learn how to have fellowship in the light. Fellowship with Him and fellowship with others who seek Him. That is all. For His Name’s Sake Shalom C. L. J. Dryden
Read More Having Fellowship In The LightI really shouldn’t laugh, but I do. There’s a man by the name of Louis van Gaal. For those uninitiated in the ways of football (or soccer as my poor cousins across the pond refer to it), Van Gaal is a successful manager linked strongly with the vacant post at Manchester United. I hope I […]
Read More Asking The Wrong Questions AgainSome of us are looking at 1 Kings. It’s a fascinating read. Take chapter 6 and 7. Compare the length of time it took to build the Temple for the Lord and how long it took to build his own crib. I had a problem with that, thinking that his palace took longer because it […]
Read More Giving To The Building ProjectEach instrument resound in praise. I get the song. (Another beauty from the Ron Kenoly album, God Is Able – can you believe it’s 20 years old this year?!!) It’s a great platform to let the instruments in the band praise God in their own way. It’s great to hear the sax, the trumpet, the […]
Read More CD Songs: Let The Sanctuary – Ron KenolyRome wasn’t built in a day. Apparently neither was Solomon’s temple built for the Lord God of Israel. There are some real precious verses in scriptures. The fact that it took seven years to build the great monument says much. It says that the best things come to those who wait. This is hugely reassuring […]
Read More Considering A Work In ProgressThere are pressures in life that try to force you to see the present in dismal ways. The state of your bank account, the things you haven’t done, relational demands, work deadlines and targets, the list goes on. Sometimes those pressures push us just to think the worst. Maybe it’s too much, maybe there are […]
Read More In The Light Of ContextMy upbringing gave me the impression that church gatherings were about excitement and noise. God was with us when our emotions were stirred. Truly the Spirit was moving if people were shouting hallelujah, people were crying and whoever was preaching/singing was encouraged to do an encore. If I didn’t feel buzzed up after a meeting […]
Read More Wisdom in Administration and OrganisationA group of us are studying the books of Kings. Fascinating books highlighting the rise and fall of initially the United Kingdom of Israel before its split into the Northern tribes of Israel and the Southern tribes of Judah. The premise of this, of course, is the children of Israel wanting to be like the […]
Read More CD Songs: Jesus, He’s My King – VIP Mass Choir feat. John P KeePeople are fascinating. When you know who you are it is one of the most liberating experiences. In The Godfather we have the Don who is revered and feared. After the attempted assassination failed, the Don knows he does not have long so must pass on to his successor. Michael never saw himself as the […]
