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 […]

I had the huge benefit of making his acquaintance […]

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 […]

Love for the Lonely

The church is meant to be a community. It’s meant to be a gathering of those called out from the world to proclaim to the world the amazing good news of Jesus.  How we proclaim that is as much by out relationships as anything else.  So we have Jesus in John 17 making a heartfelt […]

Finding The Faithful

It’s very easy to be critical. Very easy.  I’m a master at the art.  If I stick around something long enough and I can carefully go about showing just how bad the thing is. Over the years I’ve understood that this practice is very limiting in its capacity to bring about the real joy of […]
