There are times when I’m on a roll explaining something and someone makes an interjection that actually enhances the roll. We were looking at the history of the divided kingdom of Israel in the book of Kings and Chronicles. I was on a roll about the cycle of disaster and renewal that took place a […]
Read More RepentIt’s been interesting in my life recently. Back in my school days the school gave me a brown folder called a National Record of Achievement within which I could put all my school reports and certificates and the such like to mark the passing of my time at school. My beloved wife dug it out, […]
Read More Telling The Story Of How I Got Here From ThereAnother entry inspired by the goings on of the Dryden Family. Deborah is 7 and Abigail is 6. The closeness in age has advantages, they are fiercely protective of each other to outsiders and are genuinely caring and generous girls. (Yeah they get it from their mother!) However as with all sibling issues there can […]
Read More She’s Copying MeFaithfulness is not a hugely valued commodity especially when opposed to the value of choice. As choice is so vaunted and regarded as essential to quality life not much is said about staying with the made choice. I reckon this is down to two key factors. First not making the most of that which we […]
Read More MTP05 Remix – Wisdom and FaithfulnessIf any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.

Read More MTP02 Remix: When It Comes To Wisdom – Go All Out For ItBack in the day I was a fairly big Paul McCartney fan. By fairly big I mean I’d take an interest in his music and loved getting it whenever I could, usually through someone else! Now I’d usually post the track over at the Other Place, but there’s a point to putting here. Macca’s lyrics […]
Read More When Will We Be Free From These Distractions?David Hayward aka The Naked Pastor is a rather thought provoking blogger. I find his blogs captivating for the thoughts they provoke and the journey to Jesus in which they lead me. Fellowship and enjoying each other’s company and contributions is not about conformity and agreement, but it is about that spirit of grace that […]
Read More And You Are?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 […]
Read More So Who Is The Focus On?Even though I know how the story goes and even though I am aware that the outcome is far greater than this episode, the final hours of Jesus’ life before death as recorded in Matthew chapter 26 and 27 remain the most painful portions of scripture in the book. I read it and I feel […]
Read More Insights From Matthew – Lessons in Agony from GethsemaneWhen They Miss The Point From Outside Throughout Matthew chapter 16 there is an undercurrent of missing the point. First its evident that Pharisees are missing the point in trying to trip up the Messiah. Considering their request for a sign is similar to the devil trying to get Jesus to prove He’s the Son […]
