What follows are some thoughts motivated by further contemplation of this morning’s reference to Jesus being the Temple. ~(Thanks also to Alan for his insightful blog on the issue from another perspective.) I don’t think the irony could be anymore apt than seeing the real temple of the Living God singing a song about devoting […]
Read More Jesus And The Building ProjectThis life thing is so fascinating. When I was at home with my parents and siblings I had to do what my parents (and big sister) told me to do. There was little room for questions and definitely short shrift for any rebellion or refusal (especially from the big sister). As I grew up though, […]
Read More Some Reasoning Going OnDeacon Henry – a stalwart of a church in Derby died today. Death at the best of times is something to take seriously, but this one had a big impact on me. I needed somewhere to express my gratitude to God for his life and here seemed to be the best place. The years in which […]
Read More Goodbye Grandad – Tribute To My PatriarchThis is the last in a three part blog series today reviewing the state of my being as I turn 33. It obviously makes sense then that reviewing a year of three’s and how it’s been all about that number that I do a three part series. Following the look at how life has been […]
Read More The State of DMCD Address – Part ThreeYes indeed, to repeat something that’s been mentioned one or two times today (maybe even three if we want to be technical) it is my birthday. I have a Facebook account and it was pleasant to read those who’d left a comment on there regarding the birthday and seeing the names of those who did […]
Read More The State of DMCD Address – Part OneI am not sure if there is a more important social structure than the family. Some may argue the church, but that can be seen in the light of church is always meant to be like a family. How do I relate to God? As my heavenly Father. How is Jesus referred? The Son of […]
Read More What Is Family?When I read back on some of the things I’ve said in this blog, I recognise that I can run the risk of sounding rather pompous, long-winded, pious and talking out of particular orifice not created for conversation. I really don’t take myself too seriously though, however ‘deep’ or ‘heavy’ some of these posts tend […]
Read More Being DadYeah I know what you might be thinking: how can I possibly apply such a great biblical characteristic of a great biblical character to my brother? Read on and you’ll see where I’m coming from. Today my brother celebrates 32 years on planet earth. Of course at this point I enjoy pointing out that for […]
Read More David – A Man After God’s HeartI believe I’ve mentioned the power of story before, but very recent events bring me back to it. In as much as I’ve been a part of a family before – after all I grew up with my brother, sister, mother and father – I’ve never been in this position in a family before, namely […]
Read More Returning to the Power of the StoryFor 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 […]
