I was hearing someone else talk about Christianity being about ‘a relationship not a religion’ and reflecting on what they meant, but what they actually said. What they meant was to highlight the crucial pivotal role intimate personal relational input is to understanding Christianity. What they said was that Christianity is not a religion implying […]
Read More Not Just For The Sake Of ItI am a positive person. I’m a natural optimist actually. I don’t know who I got it from, or how I got it, but that is the way I am. I haven’t reached the ultimate point of seeing the best in everyone and everything yet, but there is a strong part of my brain that […]
Read More Some People Are Beyond Your HelpThere’s this provocative blogger called Lionel Woods (he’s one of the dudes I recommend in the list on the right). I love his blogs because he does not tow the line, say the safe stuff and conform to comfortable conventional convenient Christianity. Obviously having a blog, he has a Facebook account where he leaves even […]
Read More Is There Such A Thing As Safe Sex?I’ve not forgotten the musical bits and bobs I come across that are of interest to me. I was sitting around just looking around on the ol’ Youtube and I came across this song that I’ve never heard in full and I didn’t even know Ms Bell Armstrong had done it. Glad I do now, […]
Read More For God So Loved The World – Vanessa Bell Armstrong & James ClevelandWhen I read back on some of the things I’ve said in this blog, I recognise that I can run the risk of sounding rather pompous, long-winded, pious and talking out of particular orifice not created for conversation. I really don’t take myself too seriously though, however ‘deep’ or ‘heavy’ some of these posts tend […]
Read More Being DadWhat a funny old day I had. The blog is not a diary, I’m not into that kind of journal-taking online, it’s not my style, but this day is worth recording for some interesting themes that emerge. I enjoy waking up at the latest at 6:45am. It gives me time to get ready and then […]
Read More What A Funny Old DayIf you ever get the chance, there’s a Jon Gibson song I really recommend you listen to called On Calvary. You might get it on iTunes, or Amazon, but obviously for both himself and meself it would be better if you just got it direct from his own web-site in the Buy Music section under […]
Read More Why I Love Jesus and Why I Love What I DoFrom time to time I get in those phases of thought on issues that concern more than me. Recently, I was informed by a close personal friend that someone I knew was struggling with their sexual identity. Sadly for the individual in question they belonged to certain church-folk who … to put it politely … […]
Read More Community of Compassion or Community of Hypocrisy?For a community of people who are meant to be freed and released to confess faults one to another, there aren’t half a lot of stuff that goes unconfessed. What I particularly enjoy about this clip is how practical and relevant it is not just for principles in a marriage relationship for disclosure, but how […]
Read More Confessing LustI was just informed by my sister recently that my Aunt Nalda has died. She was suffering for quite a while so in one sense it’s the end of the suffering, on the other hand though, more importantly, someone in the family has died. My mum’s sister has died. Life is for the living. Life […]
