Finding What’s Good

There are plenty of interests, relationships and concerns that I would define as ‘a good thing’. My interest in writing, for example, is something I’d call a good thing.  Using the opportunity to express myself in words is something in which I take great delight. I relish it. The interest in football I would certainly class […]

Good Walking Companions

A friend of mine shared a quote he came across that suggested that one is the average of the five people you spend the most time with. I found this concerning as I spend the most time with my three daughters, my wife and after that a colleague whose a tutor who also happens to […]

Value of Faithfulness

I find it somewhat … interesting that a man who married 700 wives and 300 concubines talks so passionately about the value of relationships. Yet the words of Solomon with regard to avoiding adultery get to the heart of why it’s so important to value relationships and value faithfulness. Look how appealing unfaithfulness is, though. […]

Shining Light

Jesus says things simply. Jesus does not say simple things. Some people can rightly be accused of trying to bamboozle others with jargon ans fancy words. Some think that a sign of being educated is saying big words. Jesus astounded witnesses because He evidently didn’t go to the same school as religious rulers, yet the […]

Time

Paul’s Brief Chat Acts 20:7-12 is amazing and hilarious. It’s obviously very important to Paul to share with the brethren at this location.  It’s so important that Paul, after having something to eat, tucks into the word he has to share.  My favourite verse is 9 which introduces us to Eutychus.  He falls into a […]

Reconciliation

God created a world at peace. Everything about the set-up and framework of the creation order was about harmony.  A beautiful interdepedence of species and organisms that got an entire ecological system moving even more gloriously than a brilliant choral and orchestral arrangement.  Indeed the music we created was a reflection of the harmony of […]

Collaboration

He writes the words, she does the music. She came up with the idea, they worked on the script, brought him in as the director and once we got our two main.characters, the piece just came together beautifully. I saw him plan it out, then they took their time doing the construction. One geezer spent […]

Exploring The Home

Orlando Dillon. Paul refers to the believers as saints in Christ.  The role of the saint now is seen as a special type of person with excellent qualities that help others.  Orlando certainly befits the term.  Find out about his Kidz Hub initiative through the link. I had the huge benefit of making his acquaintance […]

My Greatest Sermon Ever

It’s not something I mention here often.  If at all. I preach. OK, when I say that, what I mean is that in some gatherings, at some times, I’ve been asked to outline a monologue to engage with listeners about some aspect of the Christian life. It doesn’t happen often and to be fair in […]

Being Truly Human

You want to know how this started? Blame King Arthur Sido. It is really worth me mentioning what a huge admirer I am of his blog.  I enjoy taking time to read his perspective and passion about the things of God. On this occasion he posted a really cool video of N.T. Wright talking about […]
