Deborah is a smart girl. My firstborm really has a good brain operating that can pick up concepts very well and is able to explain them clearly and confidently. Seeing her doing it makes me very happy. This evening we were reading 1 Samuel 15 and considering why God wasn’t happy with Saul. Deborah heard […]
Read More September Sojourn: Taking God SeriouslyThis is a beautiful song. I love it because it has Andrae Crouch who has been one of my favourites for years and years. It has Marvin Winans who I’ve also loved a long time. The main reason why I love it though, is because the sentiments in it are so profound for church life. […]
Read More CD Songs: Let The Church Say Amen – Andrae Crouch feat. Marvin WinansThe 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 […]
Read More Who’s the Boss: Jesus Is Lord … On A Constitutional BasisWhere On Earth Is Crawley? I didn’t know where Crawley was before I used the ever so useful Google Maps to locate it on my behalf. Apparently it’s one of those new town type places and there’s nothing much coming out of Crawley. There’s no big deal about Crawley, except of course for the people […]
Read More Responding To The Word That You HeardBlame MLK For This One I was reflecting on my reading consumption of late, and I must confess I’m rather pleased with how much I’m consuming. Yet I know I could do a bit better in finishing some of the ones I start and stop to read others. So, for example, having mentioned it a […]
Read More Christian Conundrums – For Convenience’s SakeDMCD and The Reading Plan There is this really healthy spiritual exercise that brothers and sisters in Christ apply through the calendar year and that is to go through the Bible in a year. The scriptures are arranged in such a way so as to ensure all 66 books are covered in the 365 days. […]
Read More What Is The Deal With A Reading Plan?I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. (John 10:14, 15) Jesus knows His own and His own knows Him. That level of relationship goes beyond rituals and formalities and […]
Read More Jesus Is … The Good ShepherdThis life thing is so fascinating. When I was at home with my parents and siblings I had to do what my parents (and big sister) told me to do. There was little room for questions and definitely short shrift for any rebellion or refusal (especially from the big sister). As I grew up though, […]
Read More Some Reasoning Going OnI am still on an enforced sabbatical from blogging and am slipping this one through the net by means of good resources. I am hopeful that this enforced sabbatical will come to a close sooner rather than later, but I cannot say when that will be and just ask that you continue to hold on […]
Read More Just and OnlyOver the last few days I’ve been bothered by the saga of Stephen in Acts 6 and 7. It’s what led to this morning’s video entries and subsequently to what I’ve to share at this juncture. I also hope as you make your way through it you’ll see how inextricably linked it is to our […]
