Greater
A few years ago I wrote about Greater Is He with the Crabb Family music video of the same name. I love how music is a great source that helps remind me of spiritual truths. I need the reminding as well – something I wrote about in the older piece. On this occasion it was […]

I am a home body. I love home. I love the familiarity, the warmth, the family, the routine, the safety, the sense of being enclosed from outside forces. I love it. It is something I look forward to returning to after a day’s work. My recent history has seen us move houses and locations fairly […]

I asked this question on Twitter recently. Would you change your behaviour if you were shown, beyond any doubt, that it was ineffective, a waste of time and dangerous? That might seem like a fairly straightforward question to answer, until you compare it to experiences both observed and endured. I will talk about myself and […]

I was asked to share something about discipleship with a multi-generational group of people recently. As you may have gathered having a brief scan of this site, I take inspiration from various sources. On this occasion, I was inspired by the song above. Growing up my Mum loved her some Andrae Crouch. Like the dutiful […]

Here on these British Isles there once lived a sports commentator called David Coleman. I remember some of the commentaries Coleman made on sporting occasions primarily through the video footage. I distinctly recall him talking of some feat being ‘quite remarkable’. The way he said it was so unique years after his retirement it echoes […]
