When he sat down after the long day at work, he reflected on all he had. A beautiful wife who patiently tended to his needs and accepted his hard work. Beautiful children who loved to see him and took pleasure in confiding their issues to him, because he was a loving and reliable father. A […]
Read More Damaged Goods in Sophisticated Settings: Why People Need The LordSomeone asked me to prepare to talk about the gospel with some people who had not heard it, or had not heard in a long time. It is a pleasant challenge, but one that I’m fairly familiar with, as I’m of the impression that opportunities may occur every day to engage in a conversation about […]
Read More Remember: The Good News Is Bad NewsI came across this video by the dude Alan Hirsch. By the way it’s also worth nabbing the book he wrote with his wife Untamed. I am still going through it presently and cannot recommend it highly enough. Great read – because it causes you to look to Jesus, read what He said and then […]
Read More Jesus Is Lord – What Does That Mean?Psalm 23 is a familiar scripture to a number of people Christian and non-Christian. The eagle-eyed among you would have noted how my signature incorporates part of the scripture. It is a pleasure to post a song that also is lyrically motivated by the Psalm and remains one of my favourite songs to use to […]
Read More DMCD Songs: You Make Me Lie Down – Integrity MusicThe church is like a constitutional monarchy, where Jesus is allowed the title, but has no authority to make any decisions. (A.W. Tozer as quoted in Simple Church by Tony and Felicity Dale – p 25.) The book I’ve just started provided the quote for today’s blog entry. It was through the usual connections (King […]
Read More Who’s the Boss: Jesus Is Lord … On A Constitutional BasisDeclaring things is an interesting thing. We can do it without saying a word – our actions, body language and all that can do all the talking we need for people to get what we are saying. Declaring who God is and His complete reign in all elements so that those across our sphere of […]
Read More DMCD Songs: Across The Land – Stuart TownendThe Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. So the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath. (Mark 2:27, 28) Miscommunication is not difficult. Something can be said and before too long its original meaning can be completely lost. When the Pharisees picked on Jesus’ disciples for corn picking on […]
Read More Jesus Is … The Lord Of The SabbathCredit where credit is due is always a beautiful thing and so it was a pleasure to come across this particular clip of Marvin Sapp briefly recalling his dream coming true in recording with Marvin Winans. The song itself is a tribute to the process that comes from inspiration and how fitting those words and […]
Read More Marvin on Marvin – Sapp’s Tribute to WinansI close my eyes sometimes and just think, meditate, contemplate and imagine. Worship is about opening the mouth and expressing what the heart says, for me it is equally about that build up inside so that what comes out is the outlet of what has been bubbling up inside. Songs like this take me to […]
Read More There Is None Like You – Alvin SlaughterSo this is a part of the album that I’ve been enjoying here intermittently. I love the songs, I really do. Listening to them now, though, I begin to question. Not necessarily question them, but ask myself what does it suggest about the life of faith. What does it mean for the Presence of the […]
