And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.” (Mark 2:12) Something that should always be part of the thinking of inviting people to the Kingdom, is that this is a […]
Read More Insights From Mark – Here For The SickSomething I appreciate about the songs of Andrae Crouch is how some of his tunes are upbeat. This is a great pep talk sort of tune that gets you up and grooving as well as bearing in mind that there is meant to be a point to believing Jesus. Letting the world know. For His […]
Read More CD Songs: I’m Gonna Keep On Singing – Andrae CrouchOh so you thought I was over the Andrae thing. You thought wrong – again. It’s all good, because it is all good.

Read More CD Songs: He Looked Beyond My Faults – Andrae CrouchRecently I was reflecting on this song. I first heard it when I was but a little nipper biting at the ankles of me mother. Not that I was literally biting them you understand, but I was a little boy. I remember hearing the song and being moved by it thinking to myself what a […]
Read More Being Ashamed Of The GospelTruly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever.

Read More Jesus Is … The Lamb Of GodBefore I wrote this morning’s post on Jesus being the Door, I read and re-read John 9 and 10. In the preparation for these posts I would often spend some time pondering on my assumptions about certain references and how they match up to other perspectives on those same scriptures. For example John 10:10 is […]
Read More Jesus – Access Opened Or DeniedI am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. (John 10:9) ‘When one door shuts, another opens’. So often those pursuing places of peace try so many doors that only end in brick walls. Doors of legalism or doors of liberalism both […]
Read More Jesus Is … The DoorIt’s not that long before a very key date in my calendar and so in the run-up to it, I feel it’s only fitting to pull out some of the big hitters from what I enjoy and I don’t think it gets too much better than this. Karen Clark-Sheard ably accompanied by Mary Mary putting […]
Read More We Are Not Ashamed – Karen Clark-SheardIt is very difficult to be a follower of Jesus Christ and not be an irritant to your culture. Some succeed in not being a full-blown offence to those around them, but most in one or shape or form make those who live in their culture rather uncomfortable. This is not a deliberate ploy to […]
