I was thinking about divorce recently. Not to worry, I wasn’t thinking of it in direct relation to my current marriage to my first wife (unpick the faux pas from that!) I was thinking of it in terms of what a tragedy and a trauma it is on so many different levels. Even in the […]
Read More Compelled by Compassion, Motivated by MercyI am a big subscriber to the sad condition of ‘out-of-sight-out-of-mind’. Yeah, it’s a true story. In as much as I have a fairly decent memory, if you’re not in my physical circle of influence, it is likely to be easy for me to relegate you just to those memories. I am not one for […]
Read More Prayer – Out Of Sight But Not Out Of MindEarlier on this month I had a short post on walking in the light. I want to spend some time exploring what I meant by what I wrote. Depression is real. I am aware of some well-meaning brothers and sisters who wish to think otherwise. I know some well meaning saints in Christ who are […]
Read More Community: Follow The Light Out Of The DarknessOne 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 GuiltyPart of my story is one of having my ignorance, pride and other ugly things that lurk within exposed to me on a regular basis. Another part of my story is how at the same time as its exposure there is redemption and restoration, almost as if having it exposed is not for my embarrassment, […]
Read More How You View ItFollowing my last foray into controversial and touchy issues I thought I might as well venture further and touch on the topic of how same sex relationships are recognised. First there were Civil Partnerships and unsurprisingly and understandably there are calls for same sex partnerships to receive all the rights and benefits that heterosexual couples […]
Read More Briefly Entering And Exiting An Aspect Of The Same Sex Partnership IssueSome 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 […]
Read More CD Songs: Lord Jesus Help Me To Help Somebody – Commissioned ReunionAt the moment I enjoy my sleeping patterns. In the evening my wife and youngest daughter will retire to bed at a relatively early time and being exhausted by events, I won’t have that much stamina to stay up for that much longer and I’m usually gone before 11pm. Almost like clockwork way before 6am […]
Read More Thanking God For The ValleySecurity is something highly valued by people. We are not far from the generation that believed in ‘jobs for life’ and marriages that should last forever. There is comfort in knowing something will always be there to help. So it is not the most encouraging thing to hear that the only sure things in life […]
Read More Security in Uncertain TimesYou will notice that in these prayer points I endeavour to give roughly the same amount of space to each point and also look to mix the topics of each point, but on this occasion one particular point stands out over all others which will dominate this week’s prayer point and as it is one […]
