Sometimes it’s best not to question certain practices and norms, because when you start to question you start on a slippery slope to rebellion against that which our fathers and forefathers held in high regard. Take for example clothes. I do believe that clothes makes the man. I do believe that fashion makes a statement […]
Read More It’s A Formality – Part OneListening to this song now after all those years since it first lodged itself in my brain it sounds dated. It sounds like it belongs to another time and another place. Something about styles of music having changed in the interim period would under other circumstances see me give this song a wide berth. Yet […]
Read More I Am Determined – Tramaine HawkinsI would not be writing this blog if I had gone a different way not too long ago. I could have been what I call a corporate Christian. Now by corporate, I’m obviously not talking about into the gathering as a whole. What I mean by corporate Christian is viewing the whole thing as a […]
Read More Mistakes I Have MadeI 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.

I recognise that life being lead by […]

When we say things like you haven’t changed what we actually mean is that any actual change we take as negligible or see enough of what we’re used to not to bother about anything different. In reality as each new day brings new challenges and even if the responses are […]
Read More Dealing With The DifferenceThe problem of evil is something I’ve been grappling on and off since we started talking about it at a Religious Education class I had when I was about 14. It was that golden question that has perplexed for years that typifies the problem – If God is good how can He allow such evil […]
Read More Is This What I Believe? Everything PredeterminedIn a recent entry I alluded to a blog entry I’m keen to post soon and it related to the important impact Timmy Mallet made on a particular individual who will become clear soon. In running up to the revelation of this very influential personality on my own development the individual gave a rant about the […]
Read More Content and CommercialThere are those from a particular school of church songs who will look at this title and think of a typical reggae-esque chorus which has the following lyrics: I feel like pressing my way (x2) I’m on my way to glory And I feel like pressing my way Well crafted, studied and profound lyrics I’m […]
