What I love about this song is the line in the lyric When the Son of Man returns, Will He find faith on earth, Well I hope so, I wanna be found ready In this lyric itself we have that challenge that Jesus ponders with those that follow Him. When He returns will He find […]
Read More DMCD Songs: Glory Lord Jesus – Keith GreenThe question with which I finished a recent entry asked myself the serious question – would I dare to be a Daniel? It would be easy to fall into extremes of the confident ‘yes of course I would, I would do it for Jesus’ or the defeated ‘maybe I’m too weak to risk those that […]
Read More Would I Dare To Be A Daniel?Recently I watched a documentary called The Most Dangerous Man in America. This gave an insight into what Daniel Ellsberg did to release what is known as the Pentagon Papers, a top secret government document that gave startling revelations of the relations America had with Vietnam. The scandal arose around the significant discrepancies between public […]
Read More Dare To Be A Daniel Ellsberg?I am grateful big time for the role of Keith Green in my spiritual development. The man perished before I turned 5 years old, so I never got to know the man, but the legacy of the music and the book written about him, No Compromise, made a huge impact on my life. I love […]
Read More DMCD Songs: If You Love The Lord – Keith GreenWhen he sat down after the long day at work, he reflected on all he had. A beautiful wife who patiently tended to his needs and accepted his hard work. Beautiful children who loved to see him and took pleasure in confiding their issues to him, because he was a loving and reliable father. A […]
Read More Damaged Goods in Sophisticated Settings: Why People Need The LordOne of the things I love about the collection of books that makes up the Bible we read is that they are full of stories. I am very sure that if it was just a statistical book it would be very boring and unlikely to transform anyone. Yet the power is in the story. Something […]
Read More God’s Story, Our Story For Their Story – Not Cutting A Long Story ShortThe set-up is straight forward. I give one extreme, I give the opposite extreme, you agree that they are extreme and we agree that we should shift from them both and find the middle ground. That is applied to a number of arguments. In a lot of cases, it makes sense. It works. It’s applicable. […]
Read More It Is Not Always About Finding The Middle GroundIt is not bad talking of legacy. I used to hang around with a guy who was keen to ensure he left a positive legacy for the generations that followed him. He is a father of three and his work allowed him to take on others as followers who he mentored. So he talked of […]
Read More Fussing Over Legacy? Focus on Being Fruitful and FaithfulSomeone asked me to prepare to talk about the gospel with some people who had not heard it, or had not heard in a long time. It is a pleasant challenge, but one that I’m fairly familiar with, as I’m of the impression that opportunities may occur every day to engage in a conversation about […]
Read More Remember: The Good News Is Bad NewsWhen I woke up this morning, it slowly occurred to me that I am not the centre of the universe. At times with the life I live and how wrapped up I get in my thoughts, it can certainly appear that way, and I can behave in a way that suggests how mystified that the […]
