Together
This doesn’t just apply to ‘loving couples’, I find it applies to family and the extended family of faith. Almost as though God intended life to be lived together. (HT: The Meta Picture) For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd

No Condemnation – Not Guilty
One of the biggest problems in my life has been to do with condemnation. Well into my late teens and twenties my sense of worth was constantly ebbing and flowing. Sometimes I would feel as though I was loved by Christ and that was all that mattered. Other times I would be very insecure, cut […]
Read More No Condemnation – Not GuiltySo Who Is The Focus On?
Something I’ve experienced, and can still be prone to experience, is that there can be a worship problem. (The beauty of blogging is that other people may or may not relate to what I’m saying, but that’s cool, I’m the one whose blogging, it’s my life, so there!) I might have mentioned it before, but […]

Would that my marriage have a similar tale of longevity and faithfulness. Would that my relationship with God similarly be long and faithful. Would that friendships and the development of Christian friendships be marked by such longevity and faithfulness. (HT: The Meta Picture) For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd

Today I read about a school in Western Australia that has removed the recitation of the Lord’s Prayer in its school assemblies because of a state ruling that schools should not favour one religion over another.

Reading and listening and watching and observing I come across statements and phrases that are kinda the done thing to say in certain areas.

Some songs are good reminders of the fact that it maybe all well and good telling God how much I love Him and I’m thankful, but actually all that good stuff I’m getting is meant to be displayed to humanity through acts of love, kindness and grace. Commissioned came out with a beauty of a […]

I spend a fair deal of my time contemplating what God requires of me in given situations. Appropriate discipline for my daughters, the right engagement with my wife, responsible behaviour at work, etc. That also extends to discussing current events and our response to that. Were I to blog about each issue I grapple with, […]
Read More What Does Justice & Righteousness Demand?Who’s the Boss: Jesus Is Lord … On A Constitutional Basis
The church is like a constitutional monarchy, where Jesus is allowed the title, but has no authority to make any decisions. (A.W. Tozer as quoted in Simple Church by Tony and Felicity Dale – p 25.) The book I’ve just started provided the quote for today’s blog entry. It was through the usual connections (King […]

Useful video that my friend (can I call him that?) and brother in Christ Arthur posted a couple of months ago. Still worth engaging with the basic issues it seeks to address as people still look to honour God, follow Christ and serve others for the sake of the gospel. For His Name’s Sake Shalom […]
