Whilst roaming around looking for material for an upcoming project, I came across this video. It is truly remarkable how much teaching we still need on the issue of communicating properly with each other.

Read More Something About Speaking The Truth In LoveI did it to protect you. I didn’t want to hurt you, so I felt it was the best thing to do. I didn’t think you could cope with it, so I didn’t tell you at the time. I didn’t want you to feel let down so I had to couch it in a way […]
Read More The Greatest Commandment (12): The Truth for LoveI am grateful for my upbringing that brought me into contact with hymns. It’s interesting, I think hymns can be both overrated and under-utilised.

Read More Psalm 100 – Why Worship? Here’s Three Good ReasonsThe Assyrian challenge had a troubling effect on the people of Judah. Their threats were backed up by a record of their victories that could not be denied. They came with their words set to mock Yahweh and intimidate and humiliate the people.

Read More The Kings II 19 – Assyria vs Judah Part 2: The TriumphIt is not for everyone to know everything about me. It is not even for a lot of people to know a lot about me. If you’re an intimate, however, it is important that you have access to me and the channels of communication are in the light. It’s important because any hint of things […]
Read More Keep It In The LightPoliticians are sometimes depicted as people who never give a straight answer to a question. Their responses and statements can be vague or slippery and where they want to escape they look for loopholes or establish their own loopholes through which they can ease their way out of commitments. Their reputation is not a good […]
Read More Discrepancy and DeceptionOK dear reader, I need you to follow me on a little journey in this entry. I really enjoy watching episodes of Columbo. There’s little doubt that he is still my favourite television detective, just beating Sherlock Holmes and Detective Robert Goren of Law and Order: Criminal Intent. I don’t claim to be a walking […]
