I came across this video very recently. I watched it and in the light of what I hinted at recently, I wondered: what would followers of Jesus think about it? Especially as in this country (the UK) a news article highlighted findings from a survey. It intrigues me because it gets me thinking again about […]
Read More Truth and the Christian Way: FestivalsJesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life. That is something I believe with all of my heart. That truth has become more important the more I’ve walked with Him. Embracing Him in this way changes things and how I view things too. With every passing year, I see the need to be […]
Read More Truth and the Christian WayThere is something about the drive of anyone with great ambition. That capacity to stay focused on their objective to the cost of everything else. In some ways it’s an admirable quality. In other ways it can be rather disturbing especially when applied to wicked ends. It says a lot about their appetite that they […]
Read More Appetite and the MindPraying on my own has a lot of pleasant aspects to it. I do love it. What I have grown to enjoy all the more this year, however, is the real joy to be found in praying with others. I love what others bring to prayer, how they pray and the insights they share in […]
Read More Grateful for PrayerAmong the many aspects of the blessed, Jesus highlighted that peacemakers are blessed by being referred to as sons of God.

Read More A Word On PeacemakingInterestingly it took me a while to remember it was a new month, but when I was at work yesterday, I was baffled as to how things weren’t recognised as being in December. Odd. Yet here we are a brand new month and the final month of the year 2017. Ahhhhh this is the time […]
Read More November Remembered: A Dryden UpdateWhilst roaming around looking for material for an upcoming project, I came across this video. It is truly remarkable how much teaching we still need on the issue of communicating properly with each other. This video is designed for married couples, but there are lots of principles that can be applied to most relationships. It […]
Read More Something About Speaking The Truth In LoveThis is certainly worth your while considering. The practical implications of this would be rather interesting to see. It’s a matter of if congregations would truly let the Spirit work through these elements when we gather together. What a fascinating journey that would be. (HT – The Seedbed YouTube channel) For His Name’s Sake Shalom […]
Read More Something About the Spirit in Congregational WorshipWringing hands. It’s an interesting gesture and it has its place from time to time. Yet sometimes I think it’s an excuse to cover up for inactivity. It’s the physical expression to support the verbal chunterings of how ‘things were better when …’ and ‘how things are getting worse and worse’. There is something about […]
Read More Concern and ActionSo the other day I celebrated my birthday. To be fair, it was the longest birthday of my life. Most birthdays I’ve had last for a day – which is kinda what the point is meant to be. On this occasion, though, it felt as though my birthday lasted an entire week. This was largely […]
