Precedent. That which says that future acts can be determined by previous acts. I reckon that’s how God had it from the beginning. He did day one, so you know He had the next day in order. He had the fruit in the tree, so His provision didn’t have to be questioned. His victories for […]
Read More DMCD Songs: God’s Gonna Do It Again – Alvin SlaughterI absolutely love this song. the feel melodically and harmony-wise. The lyrical content. It is a feel-good song that is based on the reality that indeed in each and every situation we walk through, God gives His children a song. I remember hearing this song when I was in despair and it did the job […]
Read More DMCD Songs: God Gives His Children A Song – Alvin SlaughterFor starters, don’t get me wrong. (A brilliant phrase, I love it.) When things don’t turn out as I planned, when serious problems arise and when the pressure hits I have been known to duck for cover, cry like a wailing baby or just completely zone out. So what I’m saying is not a pie […]
Read More How To Smile When Things Go WrongChristianity can appear fairly grim, sombre and serious at times. Have you ever seen people’s faces while they are singing? If you get the chance, watch a video on YouTube or wherever of people singing and watch it on mute and see the facial gestures. They can be singing about a love so pure and […]
Read More In All Seriousness We Don’t Have To Be All SeriousA person finds joy in giving an apt reply— and how good is a timely word! (Proverbs 15:23) The host asks the question. You know the answer.

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 BeliefHymns. 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 JesusI’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 MedicineI was sat in one of the WORST CONFERENCE SETTINGS OF ALL TIME. Now when you’re stuck in one of those there is not that much room to move. You must endure … until the very end … until the very bitter end. What helped to endure was to take mental notes of how note […]
Read More Life: It Doesn’t Get Easier – It Does Get More JoyfulUsually at this time (4:50am) I am still asleep. I do like waking up early, but not too early or I’ll go to bed at a crazy early time as well which works in winter, not so much in summer. So it takes something for me to not only arise early from my slumbers but […]
