An Irish personal evangelistic site. I'm not representing a particular church, but it's broadly evangelical in tone. My aim is to cover topics I've encountered in discussions I've had over the years, mainly here in Ireland..
Nowadays, I listen to books more than I read them, but I’m trying to get back into reading. Our house is full of books, mainly non-fiction. Most of mine relate to Christianity, music, history and railways. As it happens, I’m currently listening to and reading The Cross of Christ by John Stott. I probably bought … Continue reading The Cross of Christ
In this series, I’m taking a brief glance at some of the newer hymns and worship songs. This one is older in two ways. But I first heard this current song when I went to see the film Amazing Grace, which was about William Wilberforce’s fight to abolish the British slave trade. You can view … Continue reading Hymns: Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)
It all depends on the mood that I’m in. I often think that I’d like to live in the UK because I like going there on holiday, but Cork is where I was born. I currently live in Limerick which is about 80 miles away. I would probably prefer to live in Cork. I have … Continue reading Dear Old City By the Lee
I began this series with my Hymns: 1980 Memories post, so this is the 37th in the series 😀. How the years fly by. But 2017 gave me the opportunity to revisit my youth. Bob Dylan released Trouble No More – a large collection of songs from his Christian phase – 1979 to 1981. The … Continue reading Hymns: 2017 Memories
In this series, I take a brief glance at some of the very modern worship songs. I didn’t always like modern worship songs. I enjoy the older hymns. But then again, I like both pop music and classical music. You don’t need to choose between them. And for church on Sunday, I see no rules … Continue reading Hymns: What a Beautiful Name
I suppose I have found money from time to time, but I also lost it. I can’t really remember finding much else 😄. I found much more in spiritual terms. I could say, I found Jesus, or I was found myself. Maybe I could just say that I found salvation in Jesus. Acts 4:12Salvation is found in no … Continue reading Salvation
In this series, I take a brief glance at some of the very modern worship songs. I remember back in the 1990’s, I always sneered at new songs 😃. I’d see them on BBC’s Songs of Praise. You’d have nice old hymns sung in church, and then they’d show some conference with a whole bunch … Continue reading Hymns: Waymaker
I don’t know how to answer this one. I generally like my routine, but I am prone to put off getting my hair cut. But you can’t really skip that. I wonder what would happen if I just let it grow and grow? Microsoft Copilot Answer: If you never cut your hair, it will eventually … Continue reading Hair Cuts
In this series, I take a brief glance at some very modern worship songs. I’m very much a lover of old hymns. I also take delight in listening to some of the charismatic choruses that were popular back in the 1980’s, when I was a young Christian. For many years, I tended to dislike or … Continue reading Hymns: Living Hope
I remember meeting some well-known names when I worked with London City Mission for a year back in 82-83 as a voluntary evangelist. These included David Pawson, RT Kendall and John Stott. All three are famous in Christian circles, particularly in evangelical circles. But the most famous would probably be John Stott. He was the … Continue reading John Stott
