Some things are straight forward and easy to understand. Others require someone to break things down for you and constructively help with the transition processes that are inevitable. So when we come across the word ‘worldview’ the ‘say what you see’ element of Mr Walker’s prerogative (a Catchphrase deal) appears to hold true, but it […]
Read More What Is Worldview?Please take the time out to read part one and part two of this blog post series by Jeff McQ about the Jesus paradox. Someone once said something profound – it might have been Stephen Covey I can never be too sure. It was really simple – rather than looking to be understood, it’s of […]
Read More Jesus: Depends On How You Look At HimPerspective is something that features quite regularly from time to time on this here blog, because I get the impression the perspective to a large degree determines the approach to situations in life. Two people can be going through the same thing but their perspective leads them to different attitudes, different responses, difference conversations and […]
Read More Making Progress In PerspectiveThis evening’s entry was scheduled to be on Essentials, but some news I received today sent me over the edge and something I had planned to write on later has to be expressed now at least in part. I don’t know if you’ve ever raged at God, but I know I have. I’ve been aware […]
Read More On Outrages, Injustices, Travesties and TraumasRecently I was sharing how perspective helped to change a potentially very difficult situation into something extremely positive. Worth reading to catch up on exactly where we were. I need to establish a bit of a context for this. I arrived home from a disorienting day at work where I didn’t feel that I fitted […]
Read More What Problem? Perspective, Praise and Overcoming – Faith Hall of FameZoë woke up for feed and subsequently woke Authrine up who subsequently woke me up to make the feed for Zoe at roughly 4am this morning. Now as you know 4am is a ghastly hour to be taken out of the slumbers. At 5am I can make an effort to start the day even if […]
Read More What Problem? Perspective, Praise and Overcoming – A PreludeThese kind of songs are wonderful at getting perspective back on the point of the whole Christian experience. It is about communion, it is about bread and wine, body and blood. It is about so much more. It is about what they represent and what they mean to regular Christian living. Starting the day with […]
Read More Behold The Lamb – Stuart TownendThe eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and on those parts of the body that we think less honourable we bestow […]
Read More Esteeming The Least EsteemedWe love because he first loved us. (1 John 4:19) This is not the blog I meant to write, but before I get to it a related diversion. I didn’t do preacher training in any formal setting, but I picked up on the styles of those that I heard. As I grew up there was […]
Read More In A Change To The Scheduled Blog … For The Love Of GodIt’s all about the best winning. Today was the FA Cup final between Portsmouth and Chelsea. Portsmouth have finished bottom of the Premier League while Chelsea have won the Premier League scoring a record amount of goals. I was reliably informed that this was the game that ‘no one wanted Chelsea to win’. Others suggested […]
