Think.

Some thoughts for you to muse upon. Maybe they will stimulate you to think. Maybe you will just reject them.

Everybody's theology is wrong somewhere.

We are all conditioned by our situation and our context.

Unless we meet the true God in Jesus Christ, then we're still waiting for an agent from God to do just that...reveal him.

Rob Bell has some potentially dangerous ideas. Those who preach prosperity are not preaching the gospel, and perhaps it is time to return to the tradition of fuelling fires with their books rather than fire wood. Rob Bell is not necessarily prosperity, but he certainly has interesting theological ideas.

I've mastered making cheese sauce, and cooking for lots of people is satisfying.

The new Athlete album is worth a listen.

Reading the Bible is a good idea. In fact, it's lifechanging.

Faith seeking understanding.

Read the Bible.

It's the end of the world as we know it...

I am hugely indebted to REM for the title. They make good music, I enjoy it.

So when I find some time I'm going to write down my thoughts on the End Times. But for now I'm afraid it is only going to be disjointed ideas mixed with an apology.

I've not posted in a good while, sorry about that. It's not that I don't have much to say, it may be that I have too much to say.

Check this out for a review of the new book by Joel Osteen...Life coach extraordinaire. He doesn't attribute that title to himself...but I disagree with the title he does attribute to himself, so I've come up with this one. I'm impressed that the reviewer has restained his obviously scathing opinions...click here.

I also think that more people should be willing to die.

I say this after looking a little at Martin Luther. Who at one point was intensly aware that he was probably travelling to his death, yet felt so profoundly about what he believed in regards to justification by faith and the foolishness of indulgences, that he was prepared to face death, rather than recant.

That challenged me.

Finally, having new people around and getting to know them has been a true joy.
