Why should you be intoxicated, my son, with a forbidden woman and embrace the bosom of an adulteress? (Proverbs 5:20) The thing about the word ‘forbidden’ is that it can almost appear to be a challenge to the inner person. Like the child that’s told the chocolate is forbidden, when we’re told we cannot have […]
Read More MTP05 – Avoiding the ForbiddenMy child, don’t turn away or become bitter when the LORD corrects you. Pro 3:12 The LORD corrects everyone he loves, just as parents correct their favorite child. (Proverbs 3:11, 12) There is a connection between discipleship and discipline. That connection is simple. To follow requires you to be kept in line. It is only our […]
Read More MTP03 – God Keeps You In LineYes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. (Proverbs 2:3-5) Again connecting Proverbs with the Kingdom, in His Sermon on the Mount, Jesus […]

Historically these months are notorious for how quick they pass, so much so that I hardly count them as a month in themselves but just a pit-stop between winter and spring.

That attitude was based on a thinking that if I was right about something and you didn’t agree with it then not only were you wrong, but you needed to be shown the error of your ways and then convert […]
Read More I’m Right – But You’re Not WrongThen Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” And having said this he breathed his last. (Luke 23:46) Jesus says quite a bit on the cross. It’s not a sermon altogether, but when you read Luke, Matthew and John gives a lot of Jesus in the […]
Read More The Death of Christopher Dryden: Crosswords at the CrossroadsFirst it’s good to hear someone who is an accomplished songwriter in his own right have a go at someone else’s masterpiece. That’s something that I like about the gospel field that there is (or should be) a great enjoyment of doing other people’s material, because there’s an appreciation that whatever connects people with God […]

MossIt should be fairly clear by now that moving from Stoke-on-Trent to Little Hulton at the end of 2009 physically (although there’s an argument that I’d left before then) was very traumatic. The difficulty of the transitional stage of working in Stoke-on-Trent whilst living in Little Hulton in January was a mental strain more than […]
