Jesus Is … The Temple

Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” (John 2:19) Jesus was outraged. His Father’s house was being abused and his anger consumed him.  He cleansed this place by removing the cancerous elements. Yet his words to the Jews were astounding – no wonder the audience were perplexed. […]

Jesus Is … The Son Of God

Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. (John 20:30, 31) What an amazing claim […]

Sweet Hour of Prayer

You know certain songs remind you of certain places and certain times and certain people. I hear this song and I think of Wellingborough, I think of my younger teen years and I think of my Dad.  Back in the day I couldn’t care less about praying.  Especially prayer meetings, they were good times to […]

Origins

This may come as a shock and a surprise to you, but I can often be found thinking about things. (Yeah, there you go for the shock of the day – take your time in recovering from that.)  As in contemplating them and pondering and wondering. For example today I was minding my own business […]

In The Beginning

I love my daughters.  One of the things I love doing is sharing with them a little story before they pray and go to sleep.  I don’t always read from a book, sometimes I enjoy making up stories for them to get involved with and engage with.  Deborah as the oldest is getting into them […]

Being Dad

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 […]

Our Father – Don Moen

Don Moen.  Don’t know him.  Heard some of his songs, still don’t know him.  Seen him in a few videos and still don’t know him.  What I will say about the fella, though, is that he knows how to put together a good song for the purpose of engaging our hearts and minds to the […]

Father God I Wonder …

This song is a decent follow up to what I was talking about yesterday concerning the Fatherhood of God.  The song works well as a children’s song, and should work in the same way for anyone who looks to relate to God in that childlike faith manner that His Son recommended. For His Name’s Sake […]

Father God

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. (James 1:17) I’m sure I’ve mentioned before, that growing up we as a family never bought into the whole ‘special days of celebration’ deal other than for […]
