The offer that Jesus made to the fishermen who formed a significant part of his apostolic team, remains an interesting one. My church background is one which has historically struggled in producing fishers of men.

Read More Fishers of MenThis post acts as a complimentary piece to one I wrote earlier stating that You Have A Voice. One of the things I enjoy about the gathering I frequent is that because there is no ‘official’ leader our times together are marked by as many members contributing as possible.

Read More About Church AgainI have no idea at present what the Beach Boys song was called. I also have no intention presently to simply google it. (Blogging by phone does that to me.) I do know that the song had the words “Wouldn’t It Be Nice”. At this juncture it’s important for me to note my mild hatred […]
Read More Wouldn’t It Be Nice – Acts and Life in the SpiritRelationships are interesting. Nothing beats a good relationship. There are different elements to relationships, and I believe there are different stages of relationships, based on me brief time on the earth. While I was working through some personal issues in the transition from Bletchley to Derby, I started thinking about stages of relationships. A few […]
