The story often referred to as the Prodigal Son is a brilliant example of what the ministry of reconciliation is all about. In that story a fair bit of credit is given to the wastrel son as he comes to his senses and realises that he could get better quality food back at his home […]
Read More RestorationI’m not in Christmas – you know that, I know that, we all know that. But I remember when I moved to Stoke-on-Trent coming across the album version of this song and I realised I didn’t have to compromise my stance on Christmas to enjoy a good Christmas song with a great sentiment and of […]
Read More Jon Gibson – About A New BirthSo following last week’s enjoyable journey down memory lane, we have another nostalgic reminiscence of some of the what is now to be considered as old school gospel choir style stuff. Except, this isn’t exactly the mould breaking stuff that all the choirs sought to emulate. Sure they sang the song, but when folks over […]
Read More Speak to Me Lord Jesus – Kirk FranklinThis song means so much to me on so many levels. Just knowing that Jesus Christ came died and rose again to redeem me from sin is truly overwhelming. To know that the story goes on to see me reunited with the divine family and eternally live with them surpasses words in description. I am […]
Read More Keith Green – There Is A RedeemerI remember from a very early age singing a hymn called Count Your Blessings. Looking back the lyrics are fairly basic and simple – count your blessings, name them one by one, count your many blessings, see what God has done. As ever with the hymns that are sung time and time again from childhood […]
Read More My GratitudeWhat do you wake up to? The alarm disturbing the semblance of sleep you were enjoying? The singing birds outside your window as you take your time stretching and yawning to embrace the new day? For slow starters who perhaps require a hot caffeine packed beverage to get the engines running, I offer this stimulating […]
Read More Morning JoyI 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 WinansOld school, eh. I mean it’s not even old school, but now it’s old school. Old school used to be classic Andrae Crouch and the Disciples stuff or something from the Rev. James Cleveland. Back in the day old would be really classic Shirley Caesar when she was in the Caravans or Mahalia Jackosn. Back […]
Read More The Reason Why I Sing – Kirk FranklinHere is a good reason why I don’t get too hyped up about life. Keith’s lyrics are solitary reminders of how all we have is down to grace For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd
