He answered, “Whether he is a sinner I do not know. One thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.” (John 9:25) The Kingdom of God – the rule of God Himself is marked by those who are sick being healed. Jesus Himself exemplified the rule of God in bringing healing […]
Read More Jesus Is … A HealerLast night I was watching Family Fortunes. As I’ve said before FF was at its best when Bob Monkhouse was the host and the ones I recorded were in the days after Bob when Les Dennis hosted the show. It feels like he was the longest serving host of the show as well. Although he […]
Read More Something To Boast InBehold, a king will reign in righteousness, and princes will rule in justice. Each will be like a hiding place from the wind, a shelter from the storm, like streams of water in a dry place, like the shade of a great rock in a weary land. (Isaiah 32:1, 2) Simon Peter replied, “You are […]
Read More Jesus Is … A RockAs I mentioned at the start of the month there are a number of significant events and milestones that take place over this month. A dear family friend will be celebrating her birthday with us, hopefully. This week also sees the first year anniversary of our departure from living in Stoke-on-Trent. The most important event […]

(1 Peter 2:7, 8 ) Some people […]
Read More Jesus Is … The Stumbling BlockDue to the nature of this blog, it’s not always clear what actually is going on in my life at any one time. I’ll have a thought about something, I’ll create a series about something else and only occasionally will the actual substance of significant aspects of my life emerge. That’s not a bad thing […]
Read More Going To Church AgainAnd he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. (Colossians 1:18) Israel as God’s chosen people rejected God as their head when they petitioned for a king to be like their neighbours. Unsurprisingly, since Jesus ascended, there appears […]
Read More Jesus Is … Head of the ChurchI enjoy the ‘making of’ features on DVD’s, I like the background and motivations for the final product that I see.
