Here’s a tricky thing about following Jesus. It can be an intensely personal and individual journey. To a large degree you’re responsible for your own development and commitment to Christ. When we are judged we won’t be able to blame church leaders and all that kinda jazz. We will be judged on individual grounds. Yet […]
Read More Be Careful Lest They FallI recall reciting the 10 Commandments on a regular basis. In the church community that I engaged with whilst living in Stoke-on-Trent it was a weekly ritual that even the children had to engage in.

Read More Talking Point: Beware CovetousnessIn my media readings the other day, I came across this article looking at 108 reasons why we are getting fatter.

Read More Sexual Purity: The Change When The First Baby Was BornI 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 UpJohn Piper posted a link to the video clip below. I didn’t even know Piper like NOI (that’s a joke, by the way). I am not making any statement on the video, I’m just intrigued in what you make of it after watching it. For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd
Read More Talking Point: The Same-Sex Marriage IssueIf you’ve been following the progression of Proverbs to this point you’d have been treated to some lovely extensive treatments about the basis of life being the pursuit of wisdom grounded on fearing God and leading to fullness of life and forsaking the foolish adulteress. These passages of scripture are essential for a proper grounding […]
