This blog entry is inspired by a statement made by someone for whom my admiration has sky-rocketed over the past decade. (You know who you are, Your Majesty.) That inspiration was relatively straightforward – your burden is your assignment. By which the meaning is that whatever bugs you and bothers you and pesters you and […]
Read More Your Burden Is Your AssignmentCertain words used to be mentioned frequently, then went slightly out of fashion, then got a reboot before falling into some disarray and then going through the cycle again. One of those words in my brief sojourn on the planet so far is the word repentance. To remind/inform you, my context of upbringing was in […]
Read More About RepentanceIn as much as there’s no clear and defined GOAL OF THE YEAR for me in 2016. It has been very interesting thus far in terms of the Word and words. I don’t class myself as a scholar, but I would consider myself to be a student. What’s the difference? Spelling and advancement in the […]
Read More Renewed Love of the Word and WordsI have never read the book, watched a film or otherwise completed any sort of media about The Invisible Man. But I am a big fan of the concept. There’s a question that’s asked in the circles I frequent about which ‘super power’ would you want if you could have any. After joking that I […]
Read More Inspired By The Invisible ManI read the episode and still chuckle. Jesus and his disciples in a boat. His disciples include hardened fishermen who know a thing or two about life on the waves. So when they freak out at a storm that threatens their lives, you must know it’s serious things. Where’s Jesus in all the hullabaloo? Having […]
Read More Serenity in the StormGroups of believers mean well. To see someone come among them, hear the gospel of Jesus Christ and be convicted with the subsequent desire to follow Jesus is a big deal. The family feel that can come with the new birth understandably comes with a sense of belonging and being a little possessive. After all […]
Read More As I Am His – No ConformingThere is comfort in certainty. Sometimes, however, what appears certain might be founded on something very uncertain indeed. Some have a comfort in the certainty of who is spiritual in the church community. They have a comfort in what is supposed to take place in the church setting and who should be doing what. That […]
Read More More To Being His Than …You couldn’t just write something that someone else wrote and pass it as your own. You had to make sure it was referenced properly. This idea, these words came from this author. This is the source. When I say I am His, I make reference not just to whom I belong, I essentially say Jesus […]
Read More I Am His: Statement of ReferenceI do not belong to myself. I am not an independent entity answerable only to myself. My life is not my own and acts, thoughts and words to the contrary are delusional. I am His. He has control and is the One who directs my path. He is Lord of my life as well as […]
Read More I Am His: Statement of OwnershipI am fussy on quite a number of things. More fussy than I admit at times. That has sometimes limited my experience. I appreciate all the more how difference and a variety of it can be beneficial. Take church for example. I grew up with a limited and limiting perspective on the Body of Christ. […]
