It remains bizarre to me that followers of Jesus Christ at times segment their lives to suggest that there’s stuff that they do for God – the spiritual bit, the religious bit, the worship bit. Then there’s the bit that isn’t that which is referred to as the worldly bit, the secular bit and such […]
Read More What’s That You’re Offering?I was reading a book, as is me habit, and I read the notes on the author. It’s not the first time I’ve read about an author and their various works, but on this occasion something really stood out about the list of responsibilities and achievements. There was something in it that struck me. I […]
Read More Who Are You Trying To Impress?A beautiful scene of what the Lord’s Supper means to me was enacted before me a few years ago. John (not his real name) was high up in the organisation, among the senior management team, he was a good nominal Christian, but had recently appreciated how shallow his faith was and wanted to deepen it. […]
Read More Enjoying The Lord’s Supper: The Great EqualiserBack in the early 1990’s a few years after this album was released, the Dryden family caught up with what everyone had heard for years. That was the way, and it didn’t give me sleepless nights. Also back in the day it was not unusual to take a song and see if you could sing […]
Read More CD Songs: No Time To Lose – Andrae CrouchAt the end of Januray I informed you of a job prayer request, and then early last month I updated you on the situation where I was concerned. On Friday my contract officially came to an end and I am in the position of being in between jobs. There might be a short term opportunity […]
Read More Another Job UpdateYesterday I sat in a church service and in advance of today’s celebration there was a tribute given to the mothers among them whether members or not. It was beautiful to see gifts and affection shown for the women who do so much to nurture and care for their children and others as well. It […]
Read More The Marvel of MothersThe lyrics are so delicious in this song, that I do want to savour them like a sumptuous piece of cake that comes just to peak a splendid culinary experience. I mean take a sample of what this makes such a great song in the chorus. Helpless and hopeless – lost without Your mercy But […]
Read More DMCD Songs: But For Grace (Medley) – Alvin SlaughterWhen I started work at the YMCA, my boss would occasionally converse with me about how things were going. He was very good for me, and in fact it’s only in retrospect that I appreciate just how good he was. One of our conversations had to do with how we viewed human beings. My upbringing […]
Read More Where To Start When Thinking About PeopleI am up for correction on this, but I believe there are only two questions in life that matter above all other questions. Who is God? Who am I? I reckon everything comes out of answering those questions above all else and life is worth living pursuing those two questions. As well as that, there […]
Read More Only Two QuestionsI got a phone call. It was from someone I’d not heard from in quite a while. As you know I’m not big on making phone calls and subsequently receiving phone calls is all the more of a surprise as it suggests someone WANTS to talk to me. So this ‘someone’ and I conversed for […]
