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 […]
Read More Living This Kind Of LifeAt the end of Januray I informed you of a job prayer request, and then early last month I updated you on the situation where I was concerned. On Friday my contract officially came to an end and I am in the position of being in between jobs. There might be a short term opportunity […]
Read More Another Job UpdateLate last month I asked you to pray about the job situation for friends of mine, my wife and myself. I just want to give an update on developments in that area. During the week I was informed that my current position would be coming to an end by the end of this month. Another […]
Read More Prayer Point – Jobs UpdateI do not often use this blog for prayer request. I have used it for prayer points on the odd occasion, and I’m more than delighted to pray for stuff meself, but I rarely if ever use it to ask you to pray for me for stuff. Dunno why. Just been the way. Until now. […]
Read More Prayer Request – JobsIn the last entry I shared a mock open letter from me to God on why I don’t pray. In it you’ll note there are some ‘lighter’ moments, and some more serious things that are said. I would like to tell you that I didn’t mean any of that. To be brutally honest, however, if […]
Read More Why Prayer Is Essential – An Open Letter To YouDear God: Thank you for allowing me the chance to write this letter. I was thinking about actually praying to you, but as you’ll see if I did that it would defeat the whole point of this letter, so I thought this would be more appropriate. And not a prayer. I would like to inform […]
Read More Why I Don’t Pray – An Open Letter To GodI think it’s safe to come out of the closet and announce … I’m not convinced about the argument that tithing is a command for the New Testament church. (What do you mean, there’s something that is meant by coming out of the closet? I thought everyone did it announce their disassociation with tithing as […]
Read More Cheating GodLast month I read this list of the countries defined as the top persecutors of Christians in the world. As you may know I’m all about the prayer and so I ask of you to have a look at the list and use it as a focus for prayer today. Thanks. (HT: Cranmer) For His […]
Read More Christian Persecution: Prayer PointI am a big subscriber to the sad condition of ‘out-of-sight-out-of-mind’. Yeah, it’s a true story. In as much as I have a fairly decent memory, if you’re not in my physical circle of influence, it is likely to be easy for me to relegate you just to those memories. I am not one for […]
Read More Prayer – Out Of Sight But Not Out Of MindToday I read about a school in Western Australia that has removed the recitation of the Lord’s Prayer in its school assemblies because of a state ruling that schools should not favour one religion over another. You can read the article yourself by clicking this underlined and highlighted area. Considering it was from a Christian […]
