Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” And having said this he breathed his last. (Luke 23:46) Jesus says quite a bit on the cross. It’s not a sermon altogether, but when you read Luke, Matthew and John gives a lot of Jesus in the […]
Read More The Death of Christopher Dryden: Crosswords at the CrossroadsThis blog entry was written yesterday. A fair bit of preparation has gone into today’s proceedings, there’s the highlighting of the previous blog I wrote on this very subject. Earlier on today I posted the first musical tribute about today based on my heart’s desire and then around lunchtime I also put together another musical […]
Read More Thank God For MarriageWe are continuing the series on me growing journey of understanding what family is. As a recap there was the early days back in Wellingborough. I saw a wider world of family church wise when I went to Peckham during the university days. There was the dramatic shift in fortunes from the comforts of church […]
Read More Consider Yourself One Of The Family – Broader HorizonsSo here’s the irony. I’m not a fan of Christian television – more on that in a future blog … possibly. Yet I cannot deny that occasionally there is the programme that would intrigue me. So one that I definitely enjoy watching is the Gaither Homecoming Hour. Well as you can imagine I was pleased […]
Read More He Will Carry You – Lynda RandleHe who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. (Psalm 91:1) So back to the scheduled blogging. I know you can ask why I don’t leave out all the scheduled stuff, I mean for all you know what you read could have been written at the […]
Read More Run For Cover – Part OneI am a big fan of scripture in song. I absolutely love it. For me it’s one of the best ways of committing scripture to memory. The thing of hearing the song and hearing it again and then realising that it’s pointing to scripture and so you can dedicate it to heart with the trigger […]
Read More He That Dwelleth – Daryl ColeyJesus told his disciples that those who hunger and thirst after righteousness (HATAR) shall be satisfied and I recognise that that sense of satisfaction that I need in life comes back to the issue of where I’m hungering and thirsting after. My idea of hungering and thirsting after righteousness is about pursing Jesus and like […]
Read More HATAR – Fast Reflections – Giving It All UpI did a public prayer for the first time in ages recently and it was weird. Weird in the sense that there are certain factors that you consider when you do a public prayer that you might not consider in a private closet prayer. In as much as it’s a prayer to God on behalf […]
Read More Real PrayerI absolutely adore this little combination of songs, it’s not fair to call it a medley per se because it’s just a great mixture of the two songs. Bill Gaither doesn’t get a lot of credit as a vocalist, more as a maker of great songs and singing groups, but he holds his own well […]
Read More God Leads Us Along – Gaither Vocal TrioSo still on the relationship trip that we’ve been on for a few days now and there’s something marvellous about the relationship we develop with God that moves us beyond piety and pretence to desperation and admitted nakedness. It’s easy to put on masks for the public but in prayer to develop a knowing of […]
