Well as someone who hasn’t read the Bible has said, all good things must come to an end. That is definitely the case for my holidays as tomorrow sees me return to work. School also kicks off again so there’s all the fun for the children as well. The Hols – In The Beginning It’s […]
Read More The Holiday ReportI know this is usually put at the end of a church gathering, but listening to this works for me just as well at the beginning of the day … indeed any time of the day. I love the reminder it gives me of what resides in me and how I share that with others […]
Read More DMCD Songs: May The Peace Of God – Stuart TownendDMCD and The Reading Plan There is this really healthy spiritual exercise that brothers and sisters in Christ apply through the calendar year and that is to go through the Bible in a year. The scriptures are arranged in such a way so as to ensure all 66 books are covered in the 365 days. […]
Read More What Is The Deal With A Reading Plan?The act of bowing down before one that is greater than you remains one of the most humbling acts that can be done. I know it was one of the things that was interesting about all the formalised expressions of church that I witnessed. Rare was the time when actual bowing down take place – […]
Read More DMCD Songs – Oh the Glory Of Your PresenceOn the one hand I’m not into New Years Resolutions. Anything worth planning for or resolving is something that should be part of every day life, so I have no recollection of any New Year’s resolution I’ve ever made and I have no recollection of making any in the last year or so. On the […]
Read More Looking AheadThere is something about the whole time of year that gets people up and excited about this, that and the other and it’s not my routine to make it that big a deal. To me it is just a new day. Yet there is enough significance in the new day to rejoice, be thankful, be […]
Read More To Be Like Jesus – New Day, New Year, Same RequestI was sorely tempted to run a series of posts this evening, but I thought otherwise, because on a day like today, it’s all about relaxing. There is still enough time to reflect on the year 2010 and without going into great detail my recollections are as follows: January: Having moved to Little Hulton at […]
Read More Thanking God for 2010Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all. (Colossians 3:11) There is the ‘What Can He Do For Me’ approach to Jesus – bread for hunger, water for thirst, light in darkness, friend in loneliness, king for leadership, and so on. Yet […]
Read More Jesus Is … AllOne of the words that has really had a new meaning to be over the year 2010 is revelation. I got a hint about it in 2008 when I had the reassuring word given to me that the last book in the Bible isn’t actually written as a scary apocalyptic novel to graphically tell me […]
Read More Revelation: Dealing With The Enormity Of JesusI am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. (Revelation 22:13) It is huge to consider Jesus as the Beginning and the End. This claim establishes Him as being there at Creation and then at Culmination, but note it does more than that. His claim is not […]
