  • prioritisationing

    What are your priorities? That’s a good and important question. I can remember a session at Bible College where we looked at this and how you set priorities. We used an urgency / importance matrix like the one below: The idea is that you evaluate how urgent and how important things are, and then prioritise…

  • Sodium Chloride based nostalgia

    There are quite a few passages in the Bible that trouble me. Some trouble me because they are like a mirror and make me reflect on myself and I don’t come out looking too good. Others trouble me because they are so far outside my understanding and experience that I don’t know exactly what to…

  • Ten good reasons not to believe in God

    I think it is about time we were honest. So this Baptist Minister is giving you ten good reasons why you should not believe in God* and risking being burnt at the stake or excommunicated. Perhaps your reasons are in here somewhere… 1. It’s old fashioned – believing in God is not really a 21st century thing…

  • angry with God

    There’s been a fair amount of publicity given to Stephen Fry’s impassioned response to the question, “Suppose it’s all true, and you walk up to the pearly gates, and are confronted by God, what will Stephen Fry say to him, her, or it?” The question was posed by Gabriel Byrne in a series on Irish…

    It’s been a bit quiet here recently hasn’t it? I had some time off between Christmas and New Year and decided to take a break from blogging too. I hope you are not too disappointed… but despite popular demand I am back! So how was Christmas? Were there enough socks, aftershave and handkerchiefs to last until…

This is the amazing, astounding, awesome list of things that we humans are better at than God. Remembering. God says that if we…

  • life in all its fullness

    Just a short thought today as I have been out for most of the day… When Jesus told people that he had come to give them “Life in all its fullness” did they realise that the fullness of life includes pain and suffering as well as joy and excitement? Did they understand that the fullness…

  • rememberiscence

    This morning I had a moment of reminiscence. I am not sure if I was daydreaming or remembering, nor do I know what triggered it, but all of a sudden I found myself remembering being at my Grandparents’ church singing “To God be the Glory!” A rememberiscence: TO GOD BE THE GLORY! great things He…
