I know that it is only November but I thought that I’d plug just a small book before we get the onslaught of jingle bells, happy little elves and a big man wearing red with a white beard. I know, I also think that I’m loosing my mind! Christmas is a funny time of year,Continue reading “Love came down at Christmas”

The Intolerance of Tolerance
One of the court cases that has been in the news recently revolves around tolerance, Ashers bakery and a cake. A customer asked for a cake that was clearly supporting homosexual marriage and the baker refused to make the cake; that was back in 2014.

Walking with God through pain and suffering
This blog was started back in April and the two topics that have been most read over these past months have been on the topics of depression and suffering. Suffering is a big and relevant topic for so many people because we all suffer, some at different levels and intensity than other, but suffering nonetheless.Continue reading “Walking with God through pain and suffering”
The Nativity
If you know me personally then you will know that I do not have any children, which means that you’re probably asking why I’m reviewing children’s books, right? The reason I’m reviewing these children’s Christmas books is because I realise that many parents struggle to find good materials that are exciting and interesting for childrenContinue reading “The Nativity”

These are all small tests to see if the noteContinue reading “True and proper worship…”
Genuine Worship…
“The better (i.e., the more accurately) we know God through his Word, the more genuine our worship will be. In fact, the moment we veer from what is true about God, we’re engaging in idolatry. Regardless of what we think or feel, there is no authentic worship of God without a right knowledge of God.”Continue reading “Genuine Worship…”
Gender
Gender has become one of the most talked about topics in recent years. Society has changed. What seemed a given 40 years ago, that a person was assigned their sex at birth, is no longer a given and people can choose their gender. I am glad to see that Christians are not too far behindContinue reading “Gender”
