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..
I don’t think I feel the cold as much as most people that I know. And in Ireland, it doesn’t generally get too hot or too cold. I only really notice the cold in Winter when I want to sit or lie down and feel comfortable. A hot water bottle helps. Maybe they’re a bit … Continue reading Hearts Aflame
I was never big into playing sports and climbing trees etc., so I never broke any bones. But I do have one claim to fame. I chipped a bone in my foot once. When I was a voluntary evangelist (VE) with London City Mission, I was on my way to a Bible Study at Bermondsey … Continue reading Dem Bones, Dem Bones, Dem Dry Bones
I’m blessed enough to have been born in a place and time when my work hours were reasonable. So by default, it was balanced. I suppose, work ate into my home life through study, which I enjoyed for the most part, and stress, which was partly my own fault for ruminating about work issues at … Continue reading Work for Jesus
I can’t think of any major sacrifice I’ve made, but we all make minor sacrifices all the time. To accomplish anything, you need to be disciplined and to be willing to say no to easier paths. For example, you make little sacrifices for good physical and mental health, for good relationships, for a good career, … Continue reading Is It Sacrifice?

Way back in the mid 1970s, like most teenagers, I yearned to be cool. I didn’t have much money. Somehow or other, I managed to be able to … Continue reading Wrangler Jacket and Jesus Saves Badge

It was also the year that I passed my driving test and bought my first computer, an Amstrad PCW 9512. I also bought my first second-hand car, a golden Suzuki Swift. And it was … Continue reading Hymns: 1991 Memories
So, am I a leader or a follower? It depends on the context. For example, at various stages of my life, I’ve been a leader as a teacher, as a father, and as a church elder. But in many other contexts, I’m a follower. At times, at third level, some of my students knew more … Continue reading I Have Decided to Follow Jesus
I must confess, I prefer fruit products rather than raw fruit. Given a choice between an apple and some grapes and wine and apple pie, I would choose the latter. 😀. But I do try to eat raw fruit too. So here are my favorites: It’s often said that because we have so much processed … Continue reading Apple Pie and Wine
Praying more is a small step, but you could argue that it results in a big improvement in one’s life, and it has eternal significance. So why aren’t I doing it already? I am, but I need to do it more and to not allow myself to get distracted by the pleasures or trials of … Continue reading Pray More
God’s holiness means that He is separate from anything impure, and His holiness calls people to reflect His character by striving for righteousness and purity. It also entails that God is incomparable to any other thing. Even in heaven, when all sin will be erradicated forever, we will be in awe of God’s holiness. In … Continue reading Hymn Themes: Holy
