That first chapter of Ephesians doesn’t give you time to get settled in at all. A brief introduction and then an explosion of praise. Just reading this first chapter makes a mockery of some people’s response to the invitation of praise resulting in merely parroting the phrase ‘Praise God’ or the lovely foreign version ‘Hallelujah’.

Here is a song that reveals […]
Read More Sam’s 2nd Epic 22 – David’s SongPeople can behave in really odd ways sometimes. You see someone whooping and jumping, leaping and singing and doing their jig around you before kissing a random stranger on the pavement. They do all this sober, but you’re not quite sure if they are sober because of their odd behaviour. It can come across as […]
Read More If They Knew What God Took You Through …Shepherds, Simeon, Anna and the teachers in the temple all had something in common. They got to celebrate greatness even in the early stages of the life of Jesus. All four episodes are fascinating in terms of the backstory we get for each encounter.

It’s being with people who are not inhibited in any way from saying and displaying their joy at the almighty God. It’s witnessing what it is to turn our focus to God and saying what we see with a smile […]
Read More Delightful PraiseSarah said, “God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me.” And she added, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children?

Read More Genesis: 21 – When God Comes ThroughI am not a cook. It is thus a blessing to be surrounded by outstanding cooks. I cannot justifiably complain about this fact. That means come dinner time more often than not, I am in for a treat. As I was brought up my loving parents, I was instructed that it was good manners to […]
Read More Something About Praise and ThanksgivingIt’s time for Praise and Worship. That’s usually the signal in church settings around the world for people to get ready for a good old (or new) sing-song. Maybe there will be a break in the singing for people to shout. Perhaps someone will whip out a flag to help with the praise and worship. […]
Read More Say What You See: Heartfelt WorshipEach 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 […]
