Some songs are good reminders of the fact that it maybe all well and good telling God how much I love Him and I’m thankful, but actually all that good stuff I’m getting is meant to be displayed to humanity through acts of love, kindness and grace. Commissioned came out with a beauty of a […]
Read More CD Songs: Lord Jesus Help Me To Help Somebody – Commissioned ReunionI spend a fair deal of my time contemplating what God requires of me in given situations. Appropriate discipline for my daughters, the right engagement with my wife, responsible behaviour at work, etc. That also extends to discussing current events and our response to that. Were I to blog about each issue I grapple with, […]
Read More What Does Justice & Righteousness Demand?The church is like a constitutional monarchy, where Jesus is allowed the title, but has no authority to make any decisions. (A.W. Tozer as quoted in Simple Church by Tony and Felicity Dale – p 25.) The book I’ve just started provided the quote for today’s blog entry. It was through the usual connections (King […]
Read More Who’s the Boss: Jesus Is Lord … On A Constitutional BasisUseful video that my friend (can I call him that?) and brother in Christ Arthur posted a couple of months ago.

I have banter with my colleagues and I’m texting quite often when the football is on. Yet for all that I really don’t talk often. By that I mean, I […]
Read More What Mattered Then – What Matters NowTony Evans. Got a lot of time for the guy, read a book of his and heard him speak on a few occasions and like where he’s coming from overall and essentially there’s no doubting He’s a Jesus hombre. Yet I watch this and wonder, is this really the role of the church? Really? What […]
Read More Is This The Role of the Church?What a good thing a lot of actual church experiences are so much like this so we can carry on without anyone asking or challenging us to good deeds or righteousness. For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd
Read More Shallow Small GroupsAnd when Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.” (Mark 2:12) Something that should always be part of the thinking of inviting people to the Kingdom, is that this is a […]
Read More Insights From Mark – Here For The SickSchools, elderly homes, cadets, brownies, scouts, colleges and churches have something in common. They all thrive on the separation of generations. These institutions and more are built on the premise that the best way to serve the particular needs on offer is to put them in various generational groupings. Interesting to note church being on […]
