There is a great deal of safety buying into simple statements about complex issues. Rather than make things messy and look into how things might work in certain scenarios it can be easier and more simple to just refer to a familiar catchphrase or phrase that has been recited ad nauseaum. For example, if you […]
Read More Have You Ever Thought About What God Teaches About Sex?Some songs send me way back. Way back to a time when I didn’t really know God, but was aware that my parents did in as much as I had to go to church with them on the weekend. Back in those ‘innocent’ days music played a big part of family life and I remember […]
Read More CD Songs: We Need To Hear From You – Andrae CrouchI wanted to post the version of this song that Andrae Crouch did on his brilliant Finally album. Alas I could not find it (the search continues, though and if you find it, let me know). These will do, though. I love this version for the mellow chilled out beginning. I remember one of the […]
Read More DMCD Songs: My Tribute (To God Be The Glory) – Andrae and IsraelI love God for putting in my life beautiful people who helped me to deal with real issues from the perspective of being nothing but real. Real with God, real with the close loved ones and real with myself. When I had marital issues, these people didn’t fudge around the issue and talk in buzzwords […]
Read More Dealing With Real IssuesSo what kind of words do you have coming at you? It’s worth thinking about, from the time you wake up in the morning until you reach your time to sleep at the end of your day, how many words do you have coming at you? From your loved ones, from the television, from the […]
Read More DMCD Songs: We Need A Word From The Lord – Thomas Whitfield and Kim BurrellI was reflecting to myself that it’s almost ten years since I was an active part of a church choir. It feels like a lifetime ago. I still have fond memories of those days and I was sniffing around to see arrangements and songs that set the standard for what choirs should be like. Being […]
Read More DMCD Songs: Mighty God/Outstanding – JPK & NLCC“Are you happy?” That is what a dear friend of mine asked. As it was a text it was more in text speech – but this is not a text and so you get the point of the question. There were other questions attached to it which stimulated this blog entry. Apparently my cousins across […]
Read More Happiness and Joy in the Life of a Believer: A Brother’s BeliefI don’t know the genius who came up with just bottling blackcurrant juice as a concentrate, and then getting people to buy it a dilute it. I don’t know the genius, but every night for the last five nights I have prayed a blessing on him/her and his/her family. Truly when my chest feels sore, […]
Read More Thank God For Hot RibenaBack in the day I was a fairly big Paul McCartney fan. By fairly big I mean I’d take an interest in his music and loved getting it whenever I could, usually through someone else! Now I’d usually post the track over at the Other Place, but there’s a point to putting here. Macca’s lyrics […]
Read More When Will We Be Free From These Distractions?Following yesterday’s entry on self-control being more about God-control and its application in every stage of life, I had another thought. (“Uh oh”, I hear you sigh. It’s alright, I don’t get these thoughts all the time, sometimes I think about other stuff like when am I going to start on the Chicken & Vegetable […]
