Please take the time out to read part one and part two of this blog post series by Jeff McQ about the Jesus paradox. Someone once said something profound – it might have been Stephen Covey I can never be too sure. It was really simple – rather than looking to be understood, it’s of […]
Read More Jesus: Depends On How You Look At HimApparently, according to close sources, I can be a rather pompous and arrogant kind of fellow. One who could be accused of having one’s head located at some point up the posterior orifice if one can disseminate the essence of one’s desired statement of intent. My own fault, I reckon, I get carried away with […]
Read More When Christ And Politics CollideI love words. That’s not the first time I’ve said that and it won’t be the last. It is hopefully something that is fairly obvious from this here blog which is driven by them as well as the Other Place. In as much as I wouldn’t class myself as a high intellectual, I acknowledge that […]
Read More The Word In The Flesh – Not On PaperThere’s a phrase that people often come across in relation to their current situation. “Can’t complain.” Those people are admirable in my eyes. I very much could complain. It’s not anti-Christian to acknowledge areas that could be the source of complaint. Where we go wrong is choosing to take the complaint. We have the choice […]
Read More I Struggle With This OneI’ve not forgotten the musical bits and bobs I come across that are of interest to me. I was sitting around just looking around on the ol’ Youtube and I came across this song that I’ve never heard in full and I didn’t even know Ms Bell Armstrong had done it. Glad I do now, […]
Read More For God So Loved The World – Vanessa Bell Armstrong & James ClevelandAlthough I’ve not been blogging, I’ve been able to read other people’s blogs and one that I enjoy is Arthur Sido’s The Voice Of One Crying Out In Suburbia. A recent post he put together on the influence of Western thinking in how we read the Bible is one I strongly recommend reading. Without going […]
Read More Cultural ConditioningSo I was sharing about a funny old day I had very recently. Following on from that, I slept since then, although again it was a bit bizarre in terms of the time I went to bed and when I woke up. In any case, I had me sleep – that’s what I’m saying – […]
Read More Missing The PointFads and trends are not something I want to be caught up in. I recall hearing the phrase ‘the move of God’ sometime used to explain the flavour of the month which may very well have had some positive effects, but more often than not just was a lot of hot air with little in […]
Read More What Is Simple Church?What a funny old day I had. The blog is not a diary, I’m not into that kind of journal-taking online, it’s not my style, but this day is worth recording for some interesting themes that emerge. I enjoy waking up at the latest at 6:45am. It gives me time to get ready and then […]
Read More What A Funny Old DayI found this to be a fascinating set-up in terms of getting people’s opinions on the identity of Jesus. Back to what I’ve said recently, these questions are not worth taking for granted. On the other hand, it’s also not worth getting too hung up about so as not to get te level of peace […]
