So a while ago the video game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 came out. I get a bit uneasy when it comes to videogames that promote violence. Let me be clear. I’m not perfect saint in this area. Back in the day I’d love nothing better than a good ol’ shoot ’em up. There […]
Read More Call Of Duty: Peacemaker EditionThis one is for HoneyLil, a regular reader and more importantly a sister who for years I’ve long admired and looked up to as a good example of faithfulness. It’s inspired by words she gave to me recently. One of the reasons why this blog is NOT a straightforward ‘bible devotional’ or ‘discipleship journal’ brimming […]
Read More Realities Of Following The MasterI was reading more of the Jesus Manifesto today – book by Leonard Sweet and Frank Viola. Came across a section where they looked at how to measure a good day and a bad day. It refers to a brilliant Chinese proverb … which I would tell you, but seriously you might as well buy […]
Read More All The DaysIn the last entry I confessed to a critical spirit and the need to focus on Jesus to live out the solution. This is not an individual response – this is an individual in the context of the community. That community is likewise solely focussed on looking to Jesus Christ as the Solution. This is […]
Read More We Are The Solution When We Focus On The SolutionMy Dad went to work five days a week, helped in organising and officiating services for another of those days and would also help out with the Sunday evening services. As well as that he was married and had responsibilities for one daughter and two sons. At the time growing up I certainly didn’t appreciate […]
Read More A Quiet Place: The Story Of My Dad’s AllotmentToday my family and I had the incredible honour of attending the engagement service of a precious family friend. The nature of the service included songs, prayers and encouraging words for the couple. While this was taking place it afforded me the time to consider carefully again the whole deal about marriage. Whilst pondering that […]
Read More Marriage: Lifelong Pursuit Of IntimacyStories. I love them. I love what they do on so many levels from the ‘mind switched off and just enjoying the ride’ to ‘truly delving into the depths of the human condition’. All from the story. Those stories can be real and often reality is stranger than fiction. Of late I’ve come across a […]
Read More Judging: Innocent Until Proven …Growing up with a fascination in systems of power and the stories of justice, liberation, control, slavery means some of my hobbies and interests, pastimes and pursuits would not necessarily be part of the mainstream. At this stage of my maturing process I still don’t have a lot of concrete conviction based answers on certain […]
Read More Is There Not A Cause?I’m not sure if laughter is the best medicine. I’m fairly certain it’s very good. (I write this while still getting over laughing at the movie Airplane – that is a hilarious film.) It’s good because in a moment of the purest laughter free of malice and cynicism there is a release of something positive […]
Read More Laughter – A Very Good MedicineNot long ago I was looking at how we can be programmed into viewing life in a certain way. I saw this picture and it reminded me of that programming that can often be the routine for people’s lives. May not be an office job but it’s some cycle they get themselves into which doesn’t […]
