So following the relationship deal, there is something very important about following Jesus and that’s recognising that we cannot make it on our own. Not only do we need others in physical and practical terms, it is reassuring to know that when you cannot do much you can still pray. When I say pray, I’m […]
Read More Cover Me – 21:03It’s another Sabbath evening. These are precious, precious times. Times to physically, mentally and spiritually unwind. The rest offered on this day is one in which I am refreshed in the presence of God. It’s as though as I relax further I’m able to give him all the week’s stuff and He in return gives […]
Read More Prayer – Taking A Load OffYou know I’ve been mentioning assignments of late, well tonight is a very interesting one as I have to complete another one. I believe it really is the last proper assignment that I’ll have to do for a while, so if I can put in the effort over the next hour or so then I […]
Read More Dealing With Cares: Sing A SongSo this is blog entry 150 for the year. One short of equalling the year’s record set in 2007 and thus only two short of exceeding that record and at the rate of entries on course to break that mystical 200 barrier. Not that it’s about idolising minutiae of blog entries, but it is about […]
Read More Fast and the Curious: Hunger and Thirst for GodI’m aware … I don’t know if you know … but I am aware that even on this very blog I don’t always come quick to fulfil my word. It’s not to say I don’t fulfil my word, it’s just that my original timescale for fulfilling it and the actual timing are somewhat skewed. Now […]
Read More Fast and the CuriousJust a quick note to let you know I love blogging and missed having been busy of late with the first weekend of some new initiatives at church. I am doing a bit more on Twitter these days and have been able to record some of the church events there. Some challenging things have been […]
Read More Prayer Point UpdateThis month really appears to have been one rooted in prayer. So even though for COG as a whole it’s been themed on young people, personally it’s been more of a journey in the importance of prayer. This is reflected in the prayer day we had at the YMCA as well as the overall time […]
Read More More Monthly Personal ReflectionsAs we approach the end of the month, so I approach the end of the Daily Thoughts series at work on prayer. Just like the Word itself, coming to the end of something like this only highlights how much more could be said on the subject. It’s fascinating even approaching the subject in the way […]
Read More Pray BelievingFollowing the trend without necessarily getting into a habit of using these as extended thoughts on the ones that I send out, here’s something that forms part of Jesus’ guide to prayer. Give us this day our daily bread – Matt 6:11 This can appear a rather odd part of the prayer. You woke up […]
Read More Prayer: Daily DependenceNow I’ve said I’m not going to use Daily Thoughts as my kop out for blog entries and in a sense I’m not. What I am doing is offering a place to put down some extended thoughts on the initial daily thought that I release. Not a regular thing, but just a place for people […]
