The mission of Christ was not to be served but to serve. That lays a template for those who follow Him to likewise have the heart of a servant – not a volunteer. The servant is at the beck and call of those who she serves. That is why we call Jesus, Lord. He calls […]
Read More Called To Be ServedI’m not the first one to say it, and I don’t think I’ll be the last, but consider all this news about the economic crisis and the findings of corruption in banking and the amount of bail-outs that countries need. Consider it carefully. When I was I started thinking about things like bills, mortgages, credit […]
Read More Slavery, The Love Of Money and the Economic CrisisHere’s a tricky thing about following Jesus. It can be an intensely personal and individual journey. To a large degree you’re responsible for your own development and commitment to Christ. When we are judged we won’t be able to blame church leaders and all that kinda jazz. We will be judged on individual grounds. Yet […]
Read More Be Careful Lest They FallSome Christians can come across as super-spiritual with a piety that would embarrass Moses and a take on things those that who fail to live up to moral standards that makes you feel lower than a worm.

Read More Who Has The Power?Wouldn’t that be a great way to introduce you to a blog entry – got nothing to say! Ha. What inspired me to write this post was something posted by one of the writers I look up to in the blogosphere, the great King Arthur. I call him King Arthur, he doesn’t call himself King […]
Read More Got Nothing Good To Say – And Saying Plenty Of ItA man of quick temper acts foolishly, (Proverbs 14:17a) Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly. (Proverbs 14:29) The trick was to find a way to wind me up. Knowing me as well as she did she would easily coax me into her trap with […]
Read More MTP14 Remix – Temper, TemperWhoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm. Proverbs 13:20 The proverbs are so rich with truth and meaning that connects with real episodes that prove it to be true. In coming across this particular proverb is reminded me of the story of Jack. He grew up in […]
Read More MTP13 Remix – The Company You KeepWhen I was a child I had a suspicion, now as a father those suspicions are confirmed. What on earth am I talking about? Bear with me, all will be revealed.
