Let me see if I’ve got this right. When people get married the deal is that this arrangement is til death do us part. Yet some stats somewhere suggest that Christian marriages are just as likely to end in divorce as non-Christian marriage. Whatever the stats say the reality is it is not uncommon to […]
Read More Talking Point: Christian DivorceIn my media readings the other day, I came across this article looking at 108 reasons why we are getting fatter. (People go to great efforts to research then write these things, don’t they.) I am aware that obesity is becoming more and more of a problem in large parts of the Western world. […]
Read More Talking Point: Taking Gluttony SeriouslySome people have problems with labels. It can be overly constrictive and fail to reflect some of the factors that are dominant in that which is being described. I understand those reservations over labels and after all in most cases we are a lot more than the labels we give ourselves and some of those […]
Read More What Do You Mean ‘Christian’?I started watching Christian TV again, recently. I say again because I’ve not watched it for a few years now as I was put off by some presentations of what the Christian faith is all about as promulgated on these channels. I could not be bothered having to waste time looking for a programme on […]

Read More What Part Of The Gospel Is Optional?I found this video (not that it was lost, you understand) and it has a very interesting slant to take on how seriously followers of Jesus take that mission of following Jesus. For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd
Read More Being A TraderI defy anyone who follows Christ to watch this video and remain comfortable. It should have us reflecting again on what it is to be a Christian and it’s a pity that the word ‘radical’ has to be affixed before it as though following Jesus was anything other than these requirements. For His Name’s Sake […]
Read More Sermon Jam: Radical ChristianWhen I watched this little snippet it got me thinking again about the subject heading. I also think about a Keith Green song which had the lyrics ‘If you love the Lord’. For all the hype and tripe about Christianity there comes a time when people have to question what it means to be a […]
Read More Sermon Jam: So You Think You’re A ChristianAt last as promised here is the first of what I hope to be a regular ongoing series of book reviews suitable for the readership of this fine blog. Timothy Keller is a name I was first made aware of in 2006. It was then that my interest in things concerning characters like John Piper […]
Read More DMCD Book Review: The Reason For GodAs you know, you don’t have to be a pregnant woman to have cravings. It can be a day when you’ve been busy for a period of time and there is a lingering desire in the taste-buds for something familiar, or something particular whether familiar or not. You might remember back in the day Sprite […]
