Blame 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 SakeHe answered, “Whether he is a sinner I do not know. One thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.” (John 9:25) The Kingdom of God – the rule of God Himself is marked by those who are sick being healed. Jesus Himself exemplified the rule of God in bringing healing […]
Read More Jesus Is … A HealerBehold, a king will reign in righteousness, and princes will rule in justice. Each will be like a hiding place from the wind, a shelter from the storm, like streams of water in a dry place, like the shade of a great rock in a weary land. (Isaiah 32:1, 2) Simon Peter replied, “You are […]
Read More Jesus Is … A RockI keep reading words about peace and get all these different images of what we mean when we talk about peace and it’s always a bit unsettling considering some perceptions.

Read More Upsetting the Status QuoHuge thanks to my sister for sending this recommendation my way. I need you to know that I don’t just take what she says as gospel, after all she didn’t write any of them, whatever she may argue. I heard this for meself and in me situation it did the job. So for those who […]
Read More Peace SpeakerOver 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 […]
Read More The Stephen Trial – Like The Face Of An AngelThere is a very real danger of loving music for the effect it has on you and so leaning more towards music power rather than the power of the spirit of the song itself especially as expressed in the truth of the words that make it. I believe in the therapeutic power of music and […]
Read More This Is The Time – Terry MacAlmonI forget. I have to acknowledge that. Due to that independent aspect of my character that needs to have all the answers and be the top dog, it’s not as yet automatic to remember, but there are reminders like this. The issue I forget is that the scripture informs me that that greater is He […]
