Please take the time out to read part one and part two of this blog post series by Jeff McQ about the Jesus paradox. Someone once said something profound – it might have been Stephen Covey I can never be too sure. It was really simple – rather than looking to be understood, it’s of […]
Read More Jesus: Depends On How You Look At HimI love words. That’s not the first time I’ve said that and it won’t be the last. It is hopefully something that is fairly obvious from this here blog which is driven by them as well as the Other Place. In as much as I wouldn’t class myself as a high intellectual, I acknowledge that […]
Read More The Word In The Flesh – Not On PaperFads and trends are not something I want to be caught up in. I recall hearing the phrase ‘the move of God’ sometime used to explain the flavour of the month which may very well have had some positive effects, but more often than not just was a lot of hot air with little in […]
Read More What Is Simple Church?I think sometimes we have it all wrong. I think sometimes we think the chief end of life is to be happy. Sometimes I get the impression we think that’s the goal. It’s definitely evident in the advertising and programme making of some. It’s the undercurrent of a lot of what goes on in our […]
Read More The Pursuit of HolinessFrom time to time I get in those phases of thought on issues that concern more than me. Recently, I was informed by a close personal friend that someone I knew was struggling with their sexual identity. Sadly for the individual in question they belonged to certain church-folk who … to put it politely … […]
Read More Community of Compassion or Community of Hypocrisy?For a community of people who are meant to be freed and released to confess faults one to another, there aren’t half a lot of stuff that goes unconfessed. What I particularly enjoy about this clip is how practical and relevant it is not just for principles in a marriage relationship for disclosure, but how […]
Read More Confessing LustI often put in a gospel song in this slot and I’m happy to keep that going, but from time to time I do com across some other clips that are very interesting from my faith perspective. With my love and interest in matters of the church this clip offers dome food for thought. For […]
Read More Church FamilyNothing much for this time of evening. It’s another blessed Sabbath evening. Most of the family are asleep and I’ll be heading that way in the not too distant future. I was considering thought what it is about the Sabbath as a communal celebration that should make it something to eagerly await and embrace. I’m […]
Read More Just Some Sabbath ReflectionsAs I said, it’s all in the timing which can be reached by building momentum. I said it and I meant it, I can see life through that prism and it works for me. Developing on that, though, I came across the familiar passage of scripture that preoccupied my thoughts for the majority of last […]
Read More A Bit To The Left, A Bit To The Right – About PositioningWe are continuing the series on me growing journey of understanding what family is. As a recap there was the early days back in Wellingborough. I saw a wider world of family church wise when I went to Peckham during the university days. There was the dramatic shift in fortunes from the comforts of church […]
