If you’ve been following the progression of Proverbs to this point you’d have been treated to some lovely extensive treatments about the basis of life being the pursuit of wisdom grounded on fearing God and leading to fullness of life and forsaking the foolish adulteress. These passages of scripture are essential for a proper grounding […]
Read More MTP10 Remix Popcorn Proverbs – Check Those ButsFaithfulness is not a hugely valued commodity especially when opposed to the value of choice. As choice is so vaunted and regarded as essential to quality life not much is said about staying with the made choice. I reckon this is down to two key factors. First not making the most of that which we […]
Read More MTP05 Remix – Wisdom and FaithfulnessI love how God works. In my eyes I dedicated my life to my wife in April 2002. We then had two engagement services (one for her people, one for my people … who happened to be her people as well, just because that’s how she stays) – the first in August, the second in […]
Read More Celebrating A Birthday Of SortsOne of the things I love about the community of faith is that it gives you time to be superficial and fake whilst giving you time to realise that being way is going to profit you nothing. In as much as some centre their Christian expressions to the weekly service, there are those who centre […]
Read More Going Beyond The SuperficialBack in the day when I studied Religious Education and linked issues of morals and ethics we came across the fun debate of nature vs nurture.

Read More Considering and Confronting ConditioningAssumptions. We are making them frequently they are rough guides to decisions and conclusions we’ll reach at various stages. Some of them are right, some of them are wrong. Either way we’ll keep plodding on assuming this, that and the other. If you had talked about what sunk the Titanic I would have given you […]
Read More What We Think Can Just Be The Tip Of …Almost two years ago I wrote on the issue of Divided Loyalties and something I was considering today brought up the same matter. Obviously worth reading the original by clicking the link and then pop back here. I’ll still be here when you get back. Done? OK, good. So I was considering the issue of […]
Read More The Matter of LoyaltyThere is security in certainty. The baby is secure in the arms of her mother. She often behaves with the certainty that her mother will always be there when she wants to sleep or when she wants a feed. That level of certainty is never questioned by her at that age. It’s not even an […]
Read More Security in CertaintyOh Christopher – provocative title to bring in the readers eh? How cheap can you go! There is a reason for it. Scripture suggests that there is something that appears impossible for man but is more than possible with God. Hold that thought as I take you through some context. ESPN show a series of […]
Read More Safe Christianity SucksWhen is an opportunity actually a diversion? When does a noble well intentioned God-idea get ever so slightly distorted by well meaning but erroneous man-plans? When is a step of faith a fateful step? I get the impression more and more that life was made for taking risks. However calculated and confident they may appear, […]
