This post brings to a conclusion a mini-series I’ve done since last night on different versions of this one song. I’ve been through the beginning with the version I’m most used to. Then I posted an entry with a life-changing encounter with a version that got me thinking seriously about the lyrical content. All the […]
Read More Love So Amazing, So Divine …There are three versions of this song and although I don’t usually do the music thing at this time, I’m happy to make an exception for a song that means so much to me. The lyrics provide the reason why I am profoundly moved by it. In line with the focus of the next 24 […]
Read More When I Survey The Wondrous Cross – My First VersionI am convinced that often in my daily life – perhaps too often – I glory in something other than Jesus. I take delight in something other than the Cross. Left to my own devices I lose track of the real deal and get caught up in the slipstream of the banality and mediocrity of […]
Read More Glory In The Cross – Larnelle HarrisThe sentiments of this song strike the chord of the message that I’d love people to get from me in my engagement with them, that in the light of the love of Jesus that has made my life what it is that it’s worth getting to know Him for yourself to discover that really you […]
Read More Can’t Live Without Jesus – Jon GibsonThe argument for the existence of God is something that has been with me since I was at school. I remember studying the issue first in R.E. lessons and then later on as part of Theology A-Level. At the time of studying it I was immersed in the kind of mind-set that couldn’t fathom how […]
Read More There Is A God – CarmanThe problem of evil is something I’ve been grappling on and off since we started talking about it at a Religious Education class I had when I was about 14. It was that golden question that has perplexed for years that typifies the problem – If God is good how can He allow such evil […]
Read More Is This What I Believe? Everything PredeterminedSomebody talks about classics and legends, but in my life whenever it’s come to gospel music the name that has summed that up more than any other is Andrae Crouch. I’d love to read his biography and I’d love someone to do a proper documentary on the guy because his legacy, character and story is […]
Read More CD Songs – Jesus Is Lord – Andrae CrouchI love the power of cartoons and although they are not taken as completely accurate in every way, I’d do the same for someone talking or something that I watch on television and it’s always good to match it with what the Word says. This is a particularly odd time of year for me. On […]
Read More Is This What I Believe? Crucifixion, Resurrection & AscensionComing 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 ChallengeI am a sinner. When AA was set up and started encouraging its members to introduce themselves by acknowledging the particular addiction from which they suffered, they were following a confessional tradition that has spanned the ages. I’m not arrogant enough to believe that Christians started it and initiated it and have a patent on […]
