They will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful. (Revelation 17:14) Royalty, majesty, kingdom and authority. There have been so many empires from the Ancient Egyptians through the Babylonian, Greek, and […]
Read More Jesus Is … King of KingsYou should have already gathered that this season has been about discovering more about who Jesus is even if ever so briefly. Lately I have had plenty of opportunity to reflect on how that makes a difference to every day living. The Life Context Of course first let us talk about football. Watching the game […]
Read More Building Life Around JesusHe 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 HealerOn Saturday evening there was a programme on the American Dream. The documentary looked at the link between faith and the Dream. It was fascinating seeing things like the Positive Thinking message of Peale and then the mystic influences on the hippy movement and the rise of the American Right on issues like homosexuality and […]
Read More Depictions of FaithDeborah, my beloved first-born, asked me recently why she would have to be quiet after break today (Thursday). I thought that was a bit of an odd question to ask until my wife helped me understand that it was Remembrance Day with the poppies and the things related to it. When that finally clicked, it […]

We do these pre-designed modules in […]

It’s what led to this morning’s video entries and subsequently to what I’ve to share at this juncture. I also hope as you make your way through it you’ll see how inextricably linked it is to our […]
Read More The Stephen Trial – Like The Face Of An AngelI’m still amused by the mentality of not talking about religion or politics around the dinner table. Or like in The Godfather where you’re not allowed to talk about business around the family dinner table. Those things make me chuckle. What I chuckle about is how silly that rule is, where else can you get […]
Read More Spiritual and Political – Whether We Like It Or NotNot that long ago I put on a song by Mr. Smith and referred to a song he did which I really loved. This is that. Do I love anything better than the Lord’s guide to prayer? Not really. Everything is encapsulated in this from acknowledging to requesting to confessing to relationships vertical and horizontal […]
Read More The Lord’s Prayer – Michael W. SmithMy gospel music upbringing was predominantly around choirs and groups with a smattering of male solo acts and a very limited number of female solo artists. So if you were to ask me to name ten quality female gospel solo artists I’d struggle where I wouldn’t struggle to name twenty male ones. Deniece Williams as […]
