I like to think I’m a relatively inquisitive learner. I don’t take what’s been told to me on face value. I enjoy thinking things through and considering other views. That’s not the case for everything. In some things I remain unyielding and because some things are deeply embedded it takes much for me to reconsider […]
Read More The Truth That God LovesIt’s all about the best winning. Today was the FA Cup final between Portsmouth and Chelsea. Portsmouth have finished bottom of the Premier League while Chelsea have won the Premier League scoring a record amount of goals. I was reliably informed that this was the game that ‘no one wanted Chelsea to win’. Others suggested […]
Read More Why David vs. Goliath Is Not About The UnderdogOne of the things I’m really aware of in this life business is that timing is everything. I love comedians and other funny folk who have got their timing right. That timing can turn a lame punchline into a chestnut cracker that gets people laughing in the aisles until they are weak. When it comes […]
Read More You Can’t Hurry Love … Or GodJesus told his disciples that those who hunger and thirst after righteousness (HATAR) shall be satisfied and I recognise that that sense of satisfaction that I need in life comes back to the issue of where I’m hungering and thirsting after. My idea of hungering and thirsting after righteousness is about pursing Jesus and like […]
Read More HATAR – Fast Reflections – Giving It All UpAh. Daryl Coley. Many brilliant gospel vocalists. Only one Daryl Coley. Inimitable. Doesn’t begin to cover it with a character like him. He is simply majestic in his creative use of the vocal chords that he’s obviously been blessed by God. I’m not sure if I’ll ever get to see him in a live convert […]
Read More To Live Is Christ – Daryl ColeyI did a public prayer for the first time in ages recently and it was weird. Weird in the sense that there are certain factors that you consider when you do a public prayer that you might not consider in a private closet prayer. In as much as it’s a prayer to God on behalf […]
Read More Real PrayerIt’s the early 1990’s, possibly even the very late 1980’s, but if it is that late, they can’t get in and we’ll have to leave it at the early 1990’s. At the time I was being very conscious of the music played by my sister and my mother. I remember seeing the album cover of […]
Read More Waymaker – Tramaine HawkinsIt wasn’t that long ago before I posted something about getting Marvin’s latest album entitled Alone But Not Alone. I don’t know if we’ll ever read his biography or even autobiography, but this song plays a good part in sharing a bit about himself in that vague kinda way that seeks to connect to others. […]
Read More Alone But Not Alone – Marvin WinansThere are a number of versions of this song doing the rounds going from efforts like this to more solo black-gospel style versions. It’s not uncommon to hear this sung in crusades and large meetings from tele-evangelists, etc. (I’ll leave that to you to decipher if that’s a good or bad thing, but it is […]
Read More Oh The Glory Of Your PresenceThere is a very real danger of loving music for the effect it has on you and so leaning more towards music power rather than the power of the spirit of the song itself especially as expressed in the truth of the words that make it. I believe in the therapeutic power of music and […]
