He was talking about what they did with the facility. As we sat and heard him talk, it highlighted just how much work needed to be done to help him and others have a different perspective. There was an almost fatalistic view of the facility as solely for the purpose of ‘worship services’. As a […]
Read More Building Worship or Worshipping BuildingsIt remains bizarre to me that followers of Jesus Christ at times segment their lives to suggest that there’s stuff that they do for God – the spiritual bit, the religious bit, the worship bit. Then there’s the bit that isn’t that which is referred to as the worldly bit, the secular bit and such […]
Read More What’s That You’re Offering?Let me be honest with you. I sit in on church services and hear people say that they don’t know what anyone else came to do, but they came to praise the Lord. I hear others remarking how the gathering is for the primary purpose of worship. Don’t get me wrong, praise and worship are […]
Read More The Question of FellowshipThis is a superb song rendered in its brilliance by what is turning out to be one of my favourite singing groups. Take time to listen to the lyrics of adoration and proclamation describing the Saviour. For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd
Read More DMCD Songs: You Are My All In All – Gaither Vocal Band and Eden String QuartetI was thinking about my wife today. Yeah, I know it makes a change, but I was. As I thought about her, I thought about how much of a big deal she is to me and compared her to other things that I’m likely to be passionate about. I love me football, I love reading […]

Imagine your two year old daughter getting some crayons and doing their version of Mummy and Daddy, then showing it to you. The standard reaction […]
Read More Making Jesus In Our Own ImageIf you knock about with me long enough, you’ll discover one of my favourite verses to whip out is the first part of 2 Peter 3:18 (worth checking the context). It still hits me as a priority to new believers to realise that in everything that happens, knowing Jesus Christ must remain the most important […]
Read More DMCD Songs: I Know You – John P. KeeI 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 GodPsalm 23 is a familiar scripture to a number of people Christian and non-Christian. The eagle-eyed among you would have noted how my signature incorporates part of the scripture. It is a pleasure to post a song that also is lyrically motivated by the Psalm and remains one of my favourite songs to use to […]
Read More DMCD Songs: You Make Me Lie Down – Integrity MusicAh ha. Now I like this song for a number of reasons, but here’s one of them. What does he mean? Is he talking about a physical location, or is he referring to a place in your mind or your heart? (Smart Alec: Can’t It Be Both?) It’s a great little song to challenge you […]
