“Are you happy?” That is what a dear friend of mine asked. As it was a text it was more in text speech – but this is not a text and so you get the point of the question. There were other questions attached to it which stimulated this blog entry. Apparently my cousins across […]
Read More Happiness and Joy in the Life of a Believer: A Brother’s BeliefI dedicate this particular post to a man called Simon Lovatt. It is two years now since I left North Staffs YMCA, in that time it seems like I’ve crammed in quite a lot – enough to forget some other things. Yet I remember Simon who worked at the YMCA. He was a man for […]
Read More Getting Our Hopes UpFollowing yesterday’s entry on self-control being more about God-control and its application in every stage of life, I had another thought. (“Uh oh”, I hear you sigh. It’s alright, I don’t get these thoughts all the time, sometimes I think about other stuff like when am I going to start on the Chicken & Vegetable […]
Read More Glory To God: The War CryI received something of a profound word given to me this morning on my way to work. Such was the profound nature of it, I had to share it with some close and loved ones that mean a lot to me. In essence this is what was said, God has no problem with your bid […]
Read More Self-Control and the Death of SelfI really love this chorus. Good lyrics and a fine building movement before settling on the whole point of life, let alone gathering. Thankfully now the whole ‘we have come into this house’ applies to any structure in which me and a brother or sister meet up, as the whole of life is dedicated to […]
Read More DMCD Songs: We Have Come Into This House …I sat around today in a family gathering and people were exchanging gifts. Don’t know what that was all about. What it triggered off though was an amazing gift a man, who wasn’t born anywhere near this date, spoke of to some listeners. The context is important. He was talking of how a good shepherd […]
Read More Abundant LifeHymns. Songs really aren’t they? Just another word for songs. Yet when someone says hymns there’s an age expectation on it – it’s gotta be 50 years or older, something like that. Anyway, back in the day (not 50 years as I’m only 34) hymns were the old style music and as a young person […]
Read More DMCD Songs: All That Thrills My Soul Is JesusApparently as a song of thanksgiving I’m a bit late posting this song. Balderdash to that!! I’m right on time. I believe I’m alive and the ones I love dearly also remain in the land of the living and thus it’s a time of thanksgiving. This is a superb hymn of thanksgiving especially with the […]
Read More DMCD Songs: Come Ye Thankful PeopleGod is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of […]
Read More Walking In The Light – Part OneI really love this cartoon. When I saw it, I just chuckled to myself and said “Yes, yes I know the feeling.” Thankfully I believe He is finding community and loving to be a part of it and encouraging the brothers and sisters in it to keep on following Him and being His Body on […]
