True story. I scheduled yesterday’s post after writing it way back on Saturday. I wrote it, scheduled it, then forgot all about it. Yesterday, something, maybe a tweet or a blog, got me thinking about confessing. On the strength of that I did a series of tweets with the hashtag #IMustConfess. Of course later on […]
Read More What’s The Fuss With Confession?The woman told me she belonged to a fellowship. This woman, who for the sake of the argument we’ll call Alison (not her real name), did not know I was a Christian. I don’t always jump at every opportunity to say ‘Snap’ whenever I come across a professing believer. Alison was a lot more open […]
Read More When You Think Of Church, Do You Think Of Confessional Community?I think it’s safe to come out of the closet and announce … I’m not convinced about the argument that tithing is a command for the New Testament church. (What do you mean, there’s something that is meant by coming out of the closet? I thought everyone did it announce their disassociation with tithing as […]
Read More Cheating GodSo I’m with my sleeping 2 year old daughter. As you know the best time is when they are asleep. I could think it’s safe to nip off and get something done, but then I know my daughter and she knows when I’m not there. While she sleeps I manage to sneak in an episode […]
Read More Don’t Hold It In – Talk About ItThe album was older, but I remember getting me hands on this album – Just Me This Time – as one of the first purchases I made that was rather special on Amazon way back in 1999. (Remember the 20th Century, folks? I was there!) I remember the thrill I had opening the wrapper and […]
Read More DMCD Songs: Purge Me – John P. KeeTrue story. For all the fuss I make about John P. Kee, it was the first time I had ever heard this song in this year despite the fact that the song is probably not far from being 20 years old! This highlights how the brother is not about just catchy tunes that you jump […]
Read More DMCD Songs: Wash Me (Reprise) – John P. KeeI don’t have to write this, I know that. I take responsibility for what I write on here, good, bad and indifferent. The written word is not the best forum for everything and some things are best done in a more suitable environment. However, some things are good to make a record of in the […]
Read More Another Christopher ConfessionalOne of the things I appreciate about real talk, is that it can be just that – real talk. Sometimes in church company and certain settings certain language is used, certain phrases, certain gestures, certain protocol that keeps the status quo, but doesn’t necessarily reveal the real. As The Carpenters once put it, sometimes in […]
Read More Decisions, Deletions, Detox and DevotionWho Is The Man? John the Baptist – what an interesting character to put it mildly. Matthew’s depiction of him is to serve the purpose of the man with the voice crying out in the wilderness – the forerunner. In a lot of ways John takes his place in the pantheon of great prophets in […]
Read More Insights From Matthew – Listen To What The Man SaysRecently I talked about my journey from an extremely insular perspective on faith to something a bit more expansive, without capitulating to the demands of being totally inclusive. Since I wrote that entry I’ve been reflecting on another aspect of my journey which revealed quite a bit about my character and why the sacrifice of […]
