It’s an interesting time of year. Today I stood with others in a church service as the efforts of the servicemen who died in the major wars of the last century were remembered. I was informed by the leader of the service, that these people made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Yesterday I was […]
Read More For Our FreedomThe offer that Jesus made to the fishermen who formed a significant part of his apostolic team, remains an interesting one. My church background is one which has historically struggled in producing fishers of men. The typical progression route of males in the organisation is they’ll be in the children’s activities, and some will stick […]
Read More Fishers of MenIt may not come as a surprise to you to know that I am rather keen on knowing who Jesus is. In fact of late, such is my interest that I am considering how on earth the truth of the gospel of Jesus impacts my every day life. That’s why Chris Jefferies’ series on the […]
Read More Coming Up – More On Who Is JesusFrom the start I must stress sometjing about me. I am not someone who believes all paths lead to truth. Appealing though the approach may be to those who wish to reconcile the diversity of deeply held religious and spiritual convictions, Truth itself, I believe is expressed in the life and mission of Jesus Christ.

Read More Serving One Master: The Supremacy of the IdeaYesterday you’d have noted I posted a verse from.the second letter of Peter. Here’s where I was coming from. It started with a conversation I held recently. I like the guy. I don’t know him that well. We met a few weeks ago. He could hold a decent conversation, which is always useful. He’s a […]
Read More How Now Shall We Live? An ExplanationThere is a mentality that exists in parts of the church. This mentality is best summed up be the song Hold The fort. Nothing wrong with the song as such, it’s just that some folks see the song as reinforcing a siege mentality. One that says we are surrounded round about by the various forces […]
Read More When Under SiegeMimics have an endearing stlye. Take tge comic impressionists for example. Their ability to nail down behaviours is often uncanny and the realism with which they deliver their piece can be so close to the original it is truly remarkable. I used to watch comedians doing spot on impersonations that delivered q good copy of […]
Read More Authentic WorshipWhen you read something enough, you almost get the impression that the book becomes a part of you. I get the impression that reading the gospel of John is a mystery case. The number of times people say they know this Jesus guy only for Him to say something or do something that leaves them […]
Read More John – Who Is Jesus?A few years ago I wrote about Greater Is He with the Crabb Family music video of the same name. I love how music is a great source that helps remind me of spiritual truths. I need the reminding as well – something I wrote about in the older piece. On this occasion it was […]
Read More GreaterJohn 4:46-54 records the story of an official who has a suffering child. What I love about this episode is how the main officisk takes Jesus at his word. I see trust in action. I so want to be in a position to take Jesus at His Word. Just to behave in line with a […]
