Keith Giles writes over there at Subversive1. If your Christianity is relatively comfortable because it doesn’t demand that much from you other than to believe that Jesus is out for your best interests and wants you to be happy, warm and cuddly, then you might want to give Subversive a miss. Likewise if you are […]
Read More The Church That Embraces Those Society RejectsWhat I love about the song is the reminder of being made clean. Of course if you’ve never felt dirty before, if you’ve never felt stained, tattered and marred inside by your thoughts, your desires, your actions, your motives and your impulses, then this is not an issue to you. If you’ve been clean all […]
Read More DMCD Songs: Clean – Gaither Vocal BandSo in certain versions of the Bible the bit that outlines Jesus’ guide to prayer they stop at the bit that talks about forgiving. I understand that bit. I am still a sucker, though, for the KJV ending that talks about acknowledging that the Kingdom, power and glory belongs to God. Today I had another […]
Read More For Thine Is The …Put Your Trust In No Man. Here’s your challenge. Find that phrase in scripture. Need a hand? Well here’s something close to it. Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save. (Psalm 146:3) Good. So we’re sorted, right? It’s clear – do not trust people. Simple right? Errr … actually yes. Well […]
Read More Failing in Fellowship: Trust Me On This OneI am glad that people have referred to this as the information age. It certainly appears as though there has been an explosion of availability of information from especially sources like the internet. At your finger-tips you can identify the capital of Bolivia (Sucre), the seventh president of India (V. V. Giri) and the great […]
Read More Knowledge and InformationI am a loner. My preference has been my own company. Even with a beautiful family of a loving wife and three really awesome daughters, I don’t always love spending every minute of my time with them. Despite being a loner, however, the love of God compels me again to understand that I am nothing […]
Read More What I Love About Church: FellowshipLet me be honest with you. I sit in on church services and hear people say that they don’t know what anyone else came to do, but they came to praise the Lord. I hear others remarking how the gathering is for the primary purpose of worship. Don’t get me wrong, praise and worship are […]
Read More The Question of FellowshipIt is one of the most amazing aspects of God that while I’m in the middle of this living business, God in His wisdom knew things about me from the beginning of time. It’s no surprise to Him. Indeed though I be confused and confuddled by issues of life, God has an outlined plan for […]
Read More CD Songs: He Has A Plan For Me – Andrae Crouch feat. Tata VegaThe other day I sat in a church service and the one leading the service selected Revelation 3:14-22 as the scripture reading. The case is that we read the scripture, hear a little bit spoken about it and then carry on with whatever’s on the schedule. Indeed we can read it and never refer to […]
Read More Corporate RepentanceRecently I spoke of the power of the truths we come across in the hymns we sing and I picked on one of my favourite hymns – To God Be The Glory. At this juncture I need to make an apology. I am sorry for giving you the impression that this was only one of […]
