It is well with my soul…How is yours?

26, Feb 2009

In 1873, Horatio Spafford wrote the words to the hymn “It is Well with My Soul” after the tragic death of his four daughters. He wrote it on the ocean while sailing near the spot where his daughters died. This is one of my favourite hymns, always reminding me of the depth of God’s love in [...]

The Micah Challenge – Get Involved

25, Feb 2009

Continuing on from yesterdays post – “What can 1 person do?” I was pointed to the Micah Challenge website in Australia where there are some great suggestions for how you can personally get involved with the challenge of halving poverty by 2015. Here is what they have to say:

Get Involved
It’s great that you’re thinking about [...]

What can 1 person do?

24, Feb 2009

After watching the initial youtube video on “The Micah Challenge“, I was left wondering what one person can do? What can I personally do? So often we can be left feeling quite helpless when we watch appeals to help nations/people who are suffering in poverty. Micah Challenge answered my question (in part at least) with [...]

21, Feb 2009

“…what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God”Micah 6:8
The Micah Challenge, is a global movement of Christians that seek to speak out, with a common voice, against the injustices of poverty. It unites countries in the North and South as they [...]

>Why knowing the Bible has value outside Christianity!

20, Feb 2009

>For most Christians the Bible is their so-called “textbook”, yet if we were to do a survey, many would not be able to tell you most of its contents, main messages and its value both personally and within society… So we should not be surprised when we are informed by a Poet-Laureate (Andrew Motion) who [...]

>A Moment's Indulgence

A Moments Indulgence…



I ask for a moment’s indulgence to sit by thy side.

The works that I have in hand I will finish afterwards.


Away from the sight of thy face my heart knows no rest nor respite,

and my work becomes an endless toil in a shoreless sea of toil.


Today the summer has come at my window [...]

Atheism – Makes Perfect Sense!

18, Feb 2009

So big bang theorists, atheists, evolutionists, Darwinians and the like may scoff at me for posting this, but if they can have fun at us Christians, then we can do it too! All in playful jest of course…

Cardboard Testimony – Oh how he loves us

17, Feb 2009

Do you ever have an experience where you’re watching or listening to something and it touches you deeply? I have seen this youtube video before, but today I watched it again and cried. I was reminded once more of how deeply God loves us, and how so very often he works in our lives in [...]

In Suffering and Joy

14, Feb 2009

Is suffering a way of life? Can we experience joy in the midst of pain? In a previous post I asked if there is any purpose to pain? I have continued to ponder this question, and while browsing the web I came across this article titled “In Suffering and Joy” By Jake Pelfry. He worked [...]

Purpose in Pain?

13, Feb 2009

Can there be purpose in pain? If so, to what end does it serve? When we are faced with suffering in the world, our immediate response to any “God-believing” person is to ask the question; “How can a God of Love allow such suffering?”
As Christians I wonder how much we have thought about this question [...]
