When it comes to writing it is a joy and a delight to get ideas and be able to write them out and shape them and reshape them and set them, then come back to them and see how they have changed with time and circumstances. As you may have noted extended thoughts from dmcd […]
Read More Prayer PonderingsI wonder if prayer is a priority to us. I wonder if finding out the breadth and depth of communicating to God is truly explored. There are so many different areas to it and it brings out so much of our being into talking with God that ignoring it is more deadly than ignoring water. […]
Read More Prayer Points (WE-110423)There’s a book review coming on David Platt’s book Radical. Since then he’s written a follow-up called Radical Together which has this interesting promo for it. Consider it carefully and let’s see what you think. For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd
Read More Radical TogetherI remember watching this comedy sketch and making a note that said I’m sure car salesmen wouldn’t behave like this to get the sale, but I’m not too sure about church salesmen. Of course the English culture is very different to the American one in this regard. Although we have a number of British Christian […]
Read More Evangelism and Selling JesusI was sent this email from someone to whom I’ve subscribed. I watched it and perked up at the statement Donnie makes, Don’t be a slave to your gift, don’t be a slave to your ability. Slavery and freedom are themes very close to my heart. I am never far away from acknowledging my frailties […]
Read More Identity In Christ-like CharacterYou will notice that in these prayer points I endeavour to give roughly the same amount of space to each point and also look to mix the topics of each point, but on this occasion one particular point stands out over all others which will dominate this week’s prayer point and as it is one […]
Read More Prayer Points (WE-110402)Slightly later PP edition, but still on course with when the week ends in any case. There have been a number of national, international, personal and social issues this week that could be used for PP, but here are the ones that I’d like you to pray about. Looking After All In The Community Recently […]
Read More Prayer Points (WE-110305)Last week saw the seventh edition of the Prayer Points that have been going on since the beginning of the year. It seemed an appropriate number to have a Prayer Points Plus post that would update on some of the areas that were prayed for, appreciating that we don’t just pray as wishful thinking, but […]
Read More Prayer Points Plus (WE-110226)Foreboding. What a tremendous word that is. As we approach the final chapters of Matthew, everything that has been hinted at from the beginning is gathering great momentum, the themes like threads begin to come together and the larger picture emerges of all that Jesus has been saying from his birth to this point. Chapters […]
Read More Insights From Matthew – Question TimeAm I missing something here? Follow me carefully. I reckon if I did a pop survey of those who are Christians and read the Bible, if I said Matthew 18, I’d imagine a significant number of respondents would talk about binding and loosing. I’d probably get some people talking about agreement. Perhaps one or two […]
