It’s good news right. We – created by God and rebelled against God have now been brought back to God by the ministry of Jesus Christ culminating in His death and amazing resurrection. This brings peace between God and us. This brings inner peace. Then it gives a peace between members of the family of […]
Read More Peace … with others (not yet in the Family)The Problem With People: A Personal Perspective Getting on with people isn’t that easy. Although I was brought up in a church environment, I found it very hard to get to know people. This was made harder realising people put on masks to avoid being authentic and vulnerable. My parents moved from one end of […]
Read More Peace … with others (in the Family)The Reality of Inner Turmoil The search for meaning and the sense of belonging is very strong among people. As the child gets older there tends to be a crossroads where there is a grasp for some sense of identity. All of life’s issues can swirl around in the mind and lead to a sense […]
Read More Peace … with MyselfPsalm 23 is a familiar scripture to a number of people Christian and non-Christian. The eagle-eyed among you would have noted how my signature incorporates part of the scripture. It is a pleasure to post a song that also is lyrically motivated by the Psalm and remains one of my favourite songs to use to […]
Read More DMCD Songs: You Make Me Lie Down – Integrity MusicI’m at the place where I can say this. There was a time, not long ago, when I was completely put off from church.

Read More Talking Point: God Consciousness & Sin AwarenessTrue story. Before July if you had talked about Ronnie Milsap I would have given you the blank look of a man who had absolutely no idea who you were talking about. You could have been talking about Bertrand Greengage* for all I cared. This changed after I came across a Gaither video and who […]
Read More DMCD Songs: What A Difference You’ve Made In My Life – Ronnie Milsap and Gordon MoteSome songs I remember because they remind me of growing up. This is one of those songs. Yes it was sung in the local church, but more importantly I remember both my parents singing it with a passion and a reality that still chokes me up today. What my Mum and my Dad took as […]
Read More CD Songs: Each Step I TakeAs I mentioned not long ago, I am reading Howard Snyder’s book The Community for the King. I haven’t read a book like this in quite a while, chiefly because I haven’t been reading in quite a while. but it’s good to be reading and it is certainly a wonderful book to come across to […]
Read More Coming Back For Which Church?I don’t think anyone in this church tonight who believes in God should feel bad if there are days when they find it very very hard to believe.
