Yeah, when I read the word I could only remember A Christmas Carol and Ebenezer Scrooge. (In fact there was also a house tune that had a line that said ‘He’s a scrooge, He’s a scrooge, He’s Ebenezer Scrooge.’ Not that I was into house music much in the past, but a good friend of mine […]
Read More Sam’s 1st Epic 07 – EbenezerWhy did I do it? At first it was out of a sense of desperation. To me I felt that I needed it and as I couldn’t get it having gone through the proper channels, I felt it was the only way to get it. I have got to confess, sometimes I wouldn’t go through […]
Read More Journeyman Journal – HurtAnd the crowds asked him, “What then shall we do?” And he answered them, “Whoever has two tunics is to share with him who has none, and whoever has food is to do likewise.” (Luke 3:10-11 ESV) Zechariah and Elizabeth’s miracle son established the call to repentance in simple and yet radical ways. Mountains made […]
Read More A Look at Luke 3 – The Way PreparedIntroduction I believe I understand the sentiment. We got to know something about him. His mannerisms, his personality, his pet peeves, his little delights and with what we gathered together we get an idea about him. So when he’s not around we look to do something in memory of him or in his honour. No […]
Read More It’s Not What God Would Have WantedCertain words used to be mentioned frequently, then went slightly out of fashion, then got a reboot before falling into some disarray and then going through the cycle again. One of those words in my brief sojourn on the planet so far is the word repentance. To remind/inform you, my context of upbringing was in […]
Read More About RepentanceThen Jesus began to denounce the towns in which most of his miracles had been performed, because they did not repent. – Matthew 11:20 The impression you can get of Jesus, is that He only said bad things of the religious rulers and other than that He was a cool, nice, placid kinda guy feeding […]
Read More Jesus CursesThe other day I sat in a church service and the one leading the service selected Revelation 3:14-22 as the scripture reading. The case is that we read the scripture, hear a little bit spoken about it and then carry on with whatever’s on the schedule. Indeed we can read it and never refer to […]
Read More Corporate RepentanceI’m sure your conscience is better than mine. Back in the day I did some things that would have been classed as ‘naughty’ but were really ‘bad’. I would be rumbled and then proceed to cry a river in apparent sorrow and plead for the mercy of the power that be. With the pleading was […]
Read More Godly Sorrow vs. Earthly SorrowThe album was older, but I remember getting me hands on this album – Just Me This Time – as one of the first purchases I made that was rather special on Amazon way back in 1999. (Remember the 20th Century, folks? I was there!) I remember the thrill I had opening the wrapper and […]
Read More DMCD Songs: Purge Me – John P. KeeThere’s a bit of bother going on in the football world about racist comments made by players. In the media attention mention was made of a precedent of a player being charged with a racist statement. That case was interesting in that the player charged admitted it and made a public apology for his words […]
