I like the concept of a homecoming ceremony so that when someone dies rather than getting all upset and everything, we actually celebrate the life that was and usher them home. It’s not completely heartless towards those who mourn and this song is right for the occasion. I enjoyed watching it. May have a little […]
Read More How Do We Say Goodbye?I often wonder about real love. I listen to stories of relationships where people have been used and abused and they’ve stuck around longer than is healthy because of love. A love they have for the person and a love they perceive is reciprocated in some bizarre fashion by the one claiming to love them. […]
Read More Everlasting Love – Cece WinansThe following is something that was inspired by an email I received from a very close person in my life … relationally. If you read it in a particular way it may be structured in a familiar way to a song that was rendered originally by one Kirk Franklin. Due thanks go to him for […]
Read More The Reason Why I TweetComing from a Sabbath-keeping church tradition and then seeing things from a different perspective, it’s sometimes shameful seeing some of the conduct that we maintain in that tradition. One of them that’s particularly shameful is on a typical Sabbath service at the end of the morning study and the moderator/superintendent looks to give a welcome […]
Read More Hospitality: A ChallengeThere is something about the concept of praise that is very child-like and simple. I see it often when my girls see something they enjoy – the look on their faces express it and they are eager to run up and say thank you. In fact the oldest one now has the vocabulary to wax […]
Read More We Must Praise – J. MossCharm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. (Proverbs 31:30) This particular chapter in Proverbs is lauded for what has been known as the portrait of the virtuous woman, but really it’s about the virtuous wife and the difference is crucial. With this portrait we […]
Read More MTP31 – A Virtuous WifeSo still on the relationship trip that we’ve been on for a few days now and there’s something marvellous about the relationship we develop with God that moves us beyond piety and pretence to desperation and admitted nakedness. It’s easy to put on masks for the public but in prayer to develop a knowing of […]
Read More I Need You Now – Smokie NorfulEvery word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. Do not add to his words, lest he rebuke you and you be found a liar. (Proverbs 30:5-6) Food and drink today are not what they used to be. I cannot imagine people of my grandparents’ generation being […]
Read More MTP30 – No AdditivesSo following the relationship deal, there is something very important about following Jesus and that’s recognising that we cannot make it on our own. Not only do we need others in physical and practical terms, it is reassuring to know that when you cannot do much you can still pray. When I say pray, I’m […]
Read More Cover Me – 21:03Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint, but blessed is he who keeps the law.. (Proverbs 29:18) Now other versions of this verse read in various ways so understandably you get some varying versions, but there is a similarity between the earlier and the latter part of this verse. That is […]
