What impresses me about my children is their sense of wonder at the world around them. I thought it was a sign of being cool to just take things in my stride and be rather nonplussed at this or that. Yet my children remind me that this is a disrespect at what god has provided […]
Read More DMCD Song – The Wonder Of It All: Gaither GatheringI just could not do it any more. One of my (many) problems is that I am not really the confrontational type. I can be brusque and up front and blunt when I want to be, and I’ve been informed that I can appear somewhat intimidating at times, though I put that down to the […]
Read More Compassion or ComplacencyI do not often use this blog for prayer request. I have used it for prayer points on the odd occasion, and I’m more than delighted to pray for stuff meself, but I rarely if ever use it to ask you to pray for me for stuff. Dunno why. Just been the way. Until now. […]
Read More Prayer Request – JobsAbigail, is our precious 6 year-old middle daughter. As you can appreciate leaving a place where she was accustomed and had made friends and moving to a strange new place, can be discomforting, traumatic and unnerving. In a previous school she had suffered from some of the effects of the trauma of the new and […]
Read More Celebrating God’s Achievements In Your LifeOne of the reasons I am grateful for God in my life, is because God teaches me to love. It is not that I was unaware of love before I consciously aware of God. It is more the case that my appreciation and awareness of love is far greater as I grow in knowing what […]
Read More How God’s Grace Helps In Relational PerspectivesI was sitting down in a section of the day’s church gathering that they called the Divine Worship. As is my wont, I made notes of what the preacher was saying. As I listened and noted and also considered the rest of the session and indeed the service, there was something gnawing at me. The […]
Read More Disconnect and ReconnectKeith Giles writes over there at Subversive1. If your Christianity is relatively comfortable because it doesn’t demand that much from you other than to believe that Jesus is out for your best interests and wants you to be happy, warm and cuddly, then you might want to give Subversive a miss. Likewise if you are […]
Read More The Church That Embraces Those Society RejectsWhat I love about the song is the reminder of being made clean. Of course if you’ve never felt dirty before, if you’ve never felt stained, tattered and marred inside by your thoughts, your desires, your actions, your motives and your impulses, then this is not an issue to you. If you’ve been clean all […]
Read More DMCD Songs: Clean – Gaither Vocal BandI came across this video by the dude Alan Hirsch. By the way it’s also worth nabbing the book he wrote with his wife Untamed. I am still going through it presently and cannot recommend it highly enough. Great read – because it causes you to look to Jesus, read what He said and then […]
Read More Jesus Is Lord – What Does That Mean?So in certain versions of the Bible the bit that outlines Jesus’ guide to prayer they stop at the bit that talks about forgiving. I understand that bit. I am still a sucker, though, for the KJV ending that talks about acknowledging that the Kingdom, power and glory belongs to God. Today I had another […]
