I’ll never know, how much it cost To see my sin, upon the cross (Here I Am To Worship by Tim Hughes) Today I began watching a video presentation of the Gospel according to John, and marvelling at who Jesus reveals Himself to be. He is one who is full of grace and truth. He […]
Read More September Sojourn: Start With SorryJesus, Jesus, how I trust Him How I proved Him, o’er and o’er Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus Oh for grace to trust Him more (Words by Louisa M. R. Stead) Back Then I thought I knew what hatred was. My passion back then was football and as a Liverpool fan the enemy were Manchester United. […]
Read More Anger, Hatred and GraceI am a big believer in the power of grace. Someone once asked me, what was the hardest thing to believe about God. My reply was God’s grace. It’s relatively easy for me to accept God’s holiness, righteousness, creative ability, right to judge the world, His eternal nature as well as being all powerful and […]
Read More The Hardest Thing To Believe About GodThe lyrics are so delicious in this song, that I do want to savour them like a sumptuous piece of cake that comes just to peak a splendid culinary experience. I mean take a sample of what this makes such a great song in the chorus. Helpless and hopeless – lost without Your mercy But […]
Read More DMCD Songs: But For Grace (Medley) – Alvin SlaughterOne of the reasons I am grateful for God in my life, is because God teaches me to love.

Likewise if you are […]
Read More The Church That Embraces Those Society RejectsThere’s a lot to be said for living in a bubble. For the first 14 years of my life I was safely cocooned from some of the harsher realities of life by an introvert nature, parents who were not that outgoing anyway, and a lifestyle centred on church attendance which in itself warned against the […]
Read More Life Beyond The ShelterI recall an occasion where God expressed His grace to me in the most emotionally and mentally outrageous way possible. The sector that I work in is training, primarily training in the Welfare to Work area. So the role I play is being a tutor/facilitator for people who have been out of work for over […]
Read More Grace Expressions: The Class ExperienceI 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.
