I read this article and I was angered. The news surrounds the sentencing of a ‘drugs lord’ who had been trafficking drugs and being a menace to some in an area of Jamaica. I was not angered by the sentencing. I was angered by the levels of corruption and injustice that can be seen at […]
Read More Injustice from the Bottom UpAs someone who is keen to pursue God, I’m intrigued by how He works through the systems of the day. He has given each its time – time for a dictatorship, time for a monarchy, time for a meritocracy, time for an aristocracy and currently for some a time for democracy. It’s clear that elements […]
Read More Talking Point: Is Democracy All That?Growing up with a fascination in systems of power and the stories of justice, liberation, control, slavery means some of my hobbies and interests, pastimes and pursuits would not necessarily be part of the mainstream. At this stage of my maturing process I still don’t have a lot of concrete conviction based answers on certain […]
Read More Is There Not A Cause?Today I read about a school in Western Australia that has removed the recitation of the Lord’s Prayer in its school assemblies because of a state ruling that schools should not favour one religion over another.

(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 BasisI wonder if prayer is a priority to us. I wonder if finding out the breadth and depth of communicating to God is truly explored. There are so many different areas to it and it brings out so much of our being into talking with God that ignoring it is more deadly than ignoring water. […]

To list them all and go into detail would require … something I don’t have a lot of – time. So here is a snippet of just some of the issues that I’d appreciate you remembering in your prayers. […]
Read More Prayer Points (WE-110326)Last week’s PP’s focussed on personal issues, but I am not blind or deaf to a number of larger global issues which form some of the areas worth praying for this week. Japan I know people interested in trading in foreign exchanges and one of the economies that was struggling even before recent events was […]

There have been a number of national, international, personal and social issues this week that could be used for PP, but here are the ones that I’d like you to pray about. Looking After All In The Community Recently […]
