Authentic Worship
Mimics have an endearing stlye. Take tge comic impressionists for example. Their ability to nail down behaviours is often uncanny and the realism with which they deliver their piece can be so close to the original it is truly remarkable. I used to watch comedians doing spot on impersonations that delivered q good copy of […]

What fault did your ancestors find in me, that they strayed so far from me? They followed worthless idols and became worthless themselves. Has a nation ever changed its gods? (Yet they are not gods at all.) But my people have exchanged their glorious God for worthless idols. Where then are the gods you made for yourselves? Let them come if they can save you when […]

He was talking about what they did with the facility. As we sat and heard him talk, it highlighted just how much work needed to be done to help him and others have a different perspective. There was an almost fatalistic view of the facility as solely for the purpose of ‘worship services’. As a […]

If you knock about with me long enough, you’ll discover one of my favourite verses to whip out is the first part of 2 Peter 3:18 (worth checking the context). It still hits me as a priority to new believers to realise that in everything that happens, knowing Jesus Christ must remain the most important […]

I think it’s safe to come out of the closet and announce … I’m not convinced about the argument that tithing is a command for the New Testament church. (What do you mean, there’s something that is meant by coming out of the closet? I thought everyone did it announce their disassociation with tithing as […]
