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..
People are quite complex. It’s easy to spot truly awful people and wonderful people but sometimes the truly awful people might be just the person you need. And the wonderful person might betray you. To clarify my first point, watch The Empire Strikes Back. I don’t wanna be like Homer Simpson and give the plot … Continue reading I Don’t Know 😢
I have been reviewing some modern worship songs, but I’ve taken a break to explore some Advent and Christmas hymns. 😀. Today, I’ve chosen The First Noel. This one was always a bit of a puzzle to me. Why Noel? That was the name of my best friend in primary school. But I think that … Continue reading Christmas Hymns: The First Noel
I’ve decided to do a series of explorations of “chapter 1″s of each Bible book, starting from the end and going backwards. I’m funny like that 😄. I’ll use the World English Bible (WEB) because it’s copyright free, and it’s modern. But you can look up these verses on any version on Bible Gateway. Here’s … Continue reading Chapter 1: Revelation 1
Well, it’s a nice time to ask because I’m most happy coming up to Christmas, which is precisely where I am now. In a couple of weeks, it’ll be January 😢. Throughout the year, I’ve always been in the habit of being most happy on Friday afternoons. Then, I’m close to finishing school or work. … Continue reading Friday Afternoons
I have been reviewing some modern worship songs, but I’ve taken a break to explore some Advent and Christmas hymns. 😀. Today, I’ve chosen O Little Town of Bethlehem. This one has two tunes: And we mustn’t forget Cliff Richard’s 1982 version. I generally hate people modernizing hymns 😀, but I always liked this version. … Continue reading Christmas Hymns: O Little Town of Bethlehem
On Friday nights, a couple of us generally do a guitar jam session. Last night it was The Beatles. We played some songs from Rubber Soul from 1965, when I was three 😀. It’s strange thinking how young the Beatles were back then. John Lennon would have been 25. One of my favourites from that … Continue reading Beatles Jam Session
I have been reviewing some modern worship songs, but I’ve taken a break to explore some Advent and Christmas hymns. 😀. Today, I’ve chosen O Holy Night. This wasn’t one that we sang in church. It tended to be sung by gifted soloists. It was generally the highlight of Christmas carol concerts in the City … Continue reading Christmas Hymns: O Holy Night
I don’t really do the shopping in the house. I sometimes like to treat myself by eating chocolate, but for the most part, I’m trying to eat more healthily, so I do pop down and buy fruit a bit more these days. And this is my opportunity to present a rare Pink Floyd song. It … Continue reading Apples and Oranges
I have been reviewing some modern worship songs, but I’ve taken a break to explore some Advent and Christmas hymns. 😀. Today, I’ve chosen Once in Royal David’s City. I watch Carols from King’s every Christmas Eve – or listen to it on BBC radio. This hymn has opened it since since 1919. The service … Continue reading Christmas Hymns: Once in Royal David’s City
I have been reviewing some modern worship songs, but I’ve taken a break to explore some Advent and Christmas hymns. 😀. Today, I’ve chosen Away in a Manger. It’s not among my favourites, but it’s one of the carols that we all learned as kids in Ireland. It was first published in the 1880s, often … Continue reading Christmas Hymns: Away in a Manger
