I could complain about a number of things – the state of the world, the state of the country, the state of the city, the state of the community, the state of the church. I could do that, but what’s the point? Complaining hasn’t improved anything – it is actually addressing the issue that has […]
Read More Nightchurch: Doing Something Right By Sharing The LightI’m not what I want to be, but thank God I’m not what I used to be. I have heard that line and variations of it for quite some time now. It can get so familiar that it loses its significance and can be somewhat cliche. Thankfully every now and then things happen to actually […]
Read More The Gospel: What Has Changed and What Is Changing?I was minding my own business. Honest. I wasn’t going to bother anyone about anything. My wife and first born daughter were not feeling well at all, I was on hand to serve them in as much as I could, as well as look after the two younger daughters. I was minding my own business […]
Read More Propulsion to Mission – There Were Ninety and NineIn the last entry I introduced this brief series with some door to door experiences I’ve had recently. As I mentioned, those experiences reminded me of my own brief foray into door to door life. Back at the end of the 20th Century I had got meself heavily involved in church work on a voluntary […]

Read More Lessons Learnt On A Walk – Part TwoI grew up in a church that rejoiced singing the song with lyrics that said the places I used to go, I’ll go there no more. In fact that was the case that church folk would avoid going to such places again. I’m glad for the testimony of John P. Kee sung so wonderfully in […]
Read More DMCD Songs: It Could Have Been Me – John P. KeeEarlier this month I wrote about getting back in the book-reading groove with a bang and I’ve finally finished one of the seven/eight books I started. First a little bit of context. I did not know about Michael English until the turn of the century. While doing some work in Nottingham, a friend had some […]
Read More DMCD Book Review – The Prodigal Comes Home by Michael EnglishI think some people are called to be misfits. Reading about some of the characters in the Bible and their popularity with the status quo (or lack of), and their ability to bring grief to the authorities of the day, the role of a misfit seems somewhat inevitable. It is sad, however, when people feel […]
Read More When You Know You Don’t BelongThis is another blog entry thanking God for grace. For if it were not for grace there would be little to do to deal with the depth of our depravity. No this is not an advert for Calvinism, but it is a suggestion that for the beautiful things we humans produce on the earth in […]
