I’ve once again been given the privilege of having a chance to preach at church on 9th Jan. In thinking and preparing a bit about what I’m gonna say, this phrase seems to sum it up quite nicely: Yesterday’s revelations are tomorrow’s breakthroughs. Wanna know more? Watch out for the audio of it appearing here … More Preaching 9th Jan – sneak preview
We have a good God. It is my firm belief that the understanding and belief that ‘God is good’ is the cornerstone to good theology. Living with an awareness of this, I have found more and more that Scripture confirms and underlines this! And here is just one more example that has been feeding my … More God’s mouth and His hand
Every once in a while, I stumble across a little gem, something nice and tasty – a nugget shall we say – in the Bible. This morning was one such occasion. I was going over some notes in my Bible around 1 Kings and I saw that I’d made a note to ‘see the Kingdom’ … More Solomon’s kingdom – nugget
Take a look at this deeply theological video: If you haven’t seen that before, well you have now, and you’re in great danger of incessantly hearing ‘night time…DAYTIME!’ in your head. Sorry about that. Anyway, Walk on the Wild Side has been on again recently, and this cheerful bird has been gracing the screen…reminding us … More We’re not people of the night time…we’re people of the DAYTIME!
I recently tweeted that it was “a good Job I’m reading, (not a good robe I’m needing)”, which among the two people who read it caused perhaps only a little confusion and bemusement. It was probably too cryptic, what I’d meant by it was, I’m reading Job (rhyming with “robe”, ie., the Biblical character – … More James and Job
I generally love listening to Shawn for the reason that he says stuff like this! Come on. I think this is great because it shows Christians that we can rise above this whole ‘cultural relevance’ thing that people try and go for so much, and become culture-setters. I’m okay with that!
I have blogged before about who we are in Christ but I found this from Greg Boyd and it is of course ten times better – a much more extensive list, even better than mine!! And I don’t just like it because he makes mention of our church camp where he had come to preach … More Greg Boyd on our identity “In Christ”
There are lots of things that God seems to have been repeating lately. One is “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Another is “If God is for us, who can be against us?” All awesome verses from the Bible. And another thing, more of a concept than just … More Value in God’s economy
Okay so this is a second post to mention my new song which you can listen to here – sorry about that. It’s just that it’s based on the Lord’s prayer, and I’ve since realised that (among many things that are profound and wonderful about the Lord’s prayer), it really encapsulates everything that we have … More The Lord’s Prayer
In Christian circles these days, a lot can be and has been said about the heart, and how God views its condition. Much of what is said is good; other times it can be a little vacuous, if statements like “well, God knows our hearts” go without much explanation, and seem to contravene the facts … More Do not let your WHAT be troubled?
