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 HimFrom 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.

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 PositioningThe mind. What an amazingly complex and fascinating construct it is. From the mind activities, views and language flows.. The right mind can lead to so much good being done where the mind messed up can likewise lead to unimaginable horror. I work in an area of society with a lot of people with messed […]
Read More Get Motivation! Making Your Mind UpFinally we complete the mini-series that I’ve been writing about the family and my developing understanding of the this crucial foundation of society. It would be useful to summarise how I came to this point with a couple of dating scenarios. In January 1990 I was a 12 year old boy whose concept of family […]
Read More Consider Yourself One Of The Family – Where I Am NowWe 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.
