“Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad, for the tree is known by its fruit. You brood of vipers! How can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. The good person out of […]
Read More Out of the Abundance of the HeartIt’s a Friday night and that usually means time to wind down and prepare to celebrate, embrace and enjoy another Sabbath. As I do so, however I reflect on some interesting social encounters of late. As I reflect on them the label they applied to Jesus springs to mind about him being ‘a friend of […]
Read More Friend Of SinnersYesterday saw the launch of the latest series on the blog looking at New Life. What would a blog series be without a musical theme for it?

Read More When Jesus ComesIn the first part of this here little story of mine I gave the historical context of driving and me. Read it once more to refresh yourself on how we find ourselves here.
