DANCING OR DRILL?

Mass evangelism has produced truncated Christians, happily married to consumerism and preferring an arm chair to the battle field. The army knows more about discipline and self-denial than believers who favour pop songs to the battle cry, and would rather dance than drill.

There is a time for rejoicing as well as fighting but only Godly wisdom can discern it. Ecclesiastes 3

BALANCE

We need to marry a zeal for the rule of God on earth to the cultivation of the intellect, with God's glory and man's well-being, and that of His creation, as it's fruit.

'I beseech you....do not be conformed to the world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.'
Romans 12

HEAVEN ON EARTH

Doing what you love with people you love. A truer picture of God than we will ever know. The true meaning of the joy expressed during the last meal of the Messiah and His disciples.

THOUGHTS

The thoughts of men lie hidden,
known only to themselves.
They need a voice,
a word to drive them forth
for all to hear,
to stand or fall,
to live or die,
maybe ever more in memory lie
of some noble deed.

TRUE COURAGE

It says something good when the world can marvel at true celebrity - a king who could not speak but overcame his fear each time it threatened to undo him.

We have few heroes today.

POETRY

Pondering into poetry set
emotions free to flow,
so reaching higher peaks
to gaze upon the maze below.

WEDDING FEAST

The Bride of the Messiah is busy preparing for her wedding day, lifting her eyes to her Bridegroom rather than rummaging in a trunk of decaying, moth-eaten rags.

Fossils have little colour.

MEMORABLE WRITING

Literature is the art of writing memorable thoughts in an appropriate way, a way of beauty, order and sense.

A noble culture commemorates its heroes in fitting language.
