This is a great call to arms for those who follow Christ. I imagine the whole army of the Lord taking their responsibilities seriously in the warfare and today once more making great conquests for the sake of the Kingdom in loving God and each other to the praise and glory of the Lord of […]
Read More DMCD Songs: O Church Arise – Stuart TownendI love church. Right now, having said that, something occurred to me about some of the practices in church life, like the offering and like the Lord’s Supper. In these things we are usually doing something symbolic, in the offerings, that is not all we’re giving to God. That is all we’re giving to ‘the […]
Read More Tokens, Symbols and Being Tokenistic(Remember the Prayer Points for this week) This morning I posted a current favourite on me playlist, Marvin Winans’ singing The Winans classic ‘For We May Never Know‘. In that song I suggested you listen carefully to the lyrics and as with most classics you could spend considerable time on different parts of the song. […]
Read More In It For The RewardThese are gems of songs. Seriously. On this one, just take a moment to study the lyrics. I mean, it’s our words to each other and it’s our words to God that encourages us to keep on going. Truly in what we do and how do it whether you’re on that level to influence millions […]
Read More DMCD Songs: We May Never Know – Marvin WinansSteven Silvia. Never heard of him. Yet he puts together this beautiful evocative video mentioning the simplicity of a prayerful life that says who do I have, who am I without God? And answers, I am nothing.

I remember going through a tough stage in Stoke-on-Trent and my dear friend Andy opened his home up to me. Indeed […]
Read More The Church, Community and Identity(Please check this week’s Prayer Points) Paper Talk Inspiration The Guardian, as ever objective and in no way leaning to a liberal, humanist and secular agenda, asks the question should schools require Christian worship? This comes at an intriguing time as I just read about the Anabaptist movement which was all for the separation of church […]
Read More The Church And The State – Educating Christopher’s ChildrenThere is the musical element of a song that can keep you going, but the depth of the lyrical content can make the journey that much more enriching and this is the case with a track like this. I hear it and reflect on reasons to be thankful and have a heart brimming with it […]
Read More DMCD Songs: My Heart Is Filled With Thankfulness – Stuart Townend(Please check this week’s Prayer Points) I did two of my favourite things today – went to a church gathering and watched a football match. My engagement with both is the set-up for a look at something rather important to how I currently view life. I’m a bit concerned (No. 15 of 101 Understatements of the […]
