This 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 […]
Read More How Deep Is It?It Started At A Wedding (Not My Own, Obviously) I don’t get invited to weddings often, and of late I’ve loathed being that much in crowds. Yet a dear friend of the family was getting married and invited my wife and I to his wedding. So we made an appearance at the ceremony and even […]
Read More Getting StuckIntroduction: Reading A Book Not long ago I mentioned how I’d virtually been on a reading fast. I had literally not read a book for months. Now for me that is a big deal. Before my love of music comes reading. Before my love of writing comes reading. Before my love of football comes reading. […]
Read More Redemption and ChoiceOne of the things I’m delighted about concerning God is that this script that’s being played out and His plan is not plan B. I’m glad that this isn’t a contingency measure. I’m glad that it was part of the plan and there has been no deviation to the plan and whatever happens there will […]
Read More I Reckon We Can Be ReconciledFor what it’s worth. When I say that every blog that’s posted is done by the grace of God, I don’t mean that as a cheap and glib ‘Christian’ thing to say. If any of the words that I write in any way helps someone else out then in as much as I accept thanks […]
Read More Jesus Pops The Inflated Opinion Of MyselfSo I’m with my sleeping 2 year old daughter. As you know the best time is when they are asleep. I could think it’s safe to nip off and get something done, but then I know my daughter and she knows when I’m not there. While she sleeps I manage to sneak in an episode […]
Read More Don’t Hold It In – Talk About ItIt is remarkably humbling and liberating to engage in a conversation with the saints in Christ who have absolutely no idea what the answer is, and are humble enough to express that. It is sad to say that for some because they follow the One True God they somehow think they have all the One […]
Read More I’m Sorry I Don’t Have The AnswerSo I started something when I considered realising potential and then I went a bit further when I explored a little about playing out of position. This is not so much the conclusion of a trilogy as an exclamation point in an ongoing paragraph of life. Most parents would understand the sentiment of wanting the […]
Read More Wanting The Best For Your Children Means Living The BestHere’s a tricky thing about following Jesus. It can be an intensely personal and individual journey. To a large degree you’re responsible for your own development and commitment to Christ. When we are judged we won’t be able to blame church leaders and all that kinda jazz. We will be judged on individual grounds. Yet […]
Read More Be Careful Lest They FallToday my wife and I celebrate our 9th wedding anniversary. Birthdays and anniversaries are good times to celebrate what it based on what was in the hope for what will be. Something recently made me think of the significance of the day. I had the privilege of having three good men accept becoming my groomsmen […]
