There I was minding my own business when I came across this article on the welfare system across the pond. I would not class myself as an anarchist, I would not even say I sign up to the ethos of what Jesus Radical is all about. The reason I read it is because of entries […]
Read More Mutuality and Personal ResponsibilityHonestly, I was minding my own business. Online as I am wont to do on occasion, finding out more about the new Fred Hammond album about to be launched and checking up on his web-site which was still celebrating plans for his organisation in 2011. (Not saying the site is in need of an update, […]
Read More Revisiting The Secular-Spiritual DivideI love God for putting in my life beautiful people who helped me to deal with real issues from the perspective of being nothing but real. Real with God, real with the close loved ones and real with myself. When I had marital issues, these people didn’t fudge around the issue and talk in buzzwords […]
Read More Dealing With Real IssuesI read a brilliant tweet from Frank Viola (@FrankViola) this evening which was a quote from Ronald Reagan that said the following. “Status Quo is Latin for the mess we’re in!” Of course my small political comment would be that administrations such as his, Carter’s, Bush’s, Clinton’s and now Obama’s for all their nice words […]
Read More The Agitation And Irritation Of RighteousnessFollowing yesterday’s entry on self-control being more about God-control and its application in every stage of life, I had another thought. (“Uh oh”, I hear you sigh. It’s alright, I don’t get these thoughts all the time, sometimes I think about other stuff like when am I going to start on the Chicken & Vegetable […]
Read More Glory To God: The War CryGod is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of […]
Read More Walking In The Light – Part OneI really love this cartoon. When I saw it, I just chuckled to myself and said “Yes, yes I know the feeling.” Thankfully I believe He is finding community and loving to be a part of it and encouraging the brothers and sisters in it to keep on following Him and being His Body on […]
Read More Jesus Is Looking For CommunityJust a quick one for you, click the link to watch/hear a perspective on inter-racial marriage from a guy I admire, John Piper. Do not just consider it from the perspective of marriage, consider carefully the implications for church living in a multi-cultural society, with a mission to reach those of different ethnicities. Consider those […]
Read More On Inter-Racial MarriagesIt really does take all-sorts. What you’re about to read is not an advert for the political/social philosophy of diversity. You might have a policy in your work place about diversity. I know my workplace does. As with a lot of employment policies it has good intentions, but because of the level of emotional and […]
Read More Appreciating DiversityOne of the things I love about the community of faith is that it gives you time to be superficial and fake whilst giving you time to realise that being way is going to profit you nothing. In as much as some centre their Christian expressions to the weekly service, there are those who centre […]
