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..
In 1979 I was 16 going on 17, innocent as a rose 😄. I kept a little diary in 1979 and in 1980. It was just for listing what happened each day. I’m very glad that I did, and I’m sorry that I didn’t do that every year. My typical experience is starting one in … Continue reading 1979: Music Memories
In this series, I take a brief glance at some of the very modern worship songs. I spent many years ignoring these. Back around 2017, I started familiarizing myself with some new songs – but these were songs from the 1990s. I’m finally catching up with the 21st Century songs 😄. How Great is Our … Continue reading Hymns: How Great is Our God
Today’s prompt reminds me of a 1975 hit, First Impressions, by the Impressions. I wasn’t really into soul music back then, but it’s not a bad song. I love to dig up all the old songs that I heard but didn’t really focus on in my youth. And here’s one that I have never heard … Continue reading First Impressions
In this series, I take a brief glance at some of the very modern worship songs, which I’m trying to develop a taste for. I used to hate them, then I put up with them, but now I’m starting to like them more. I still don’t like them as much as I like the old … Continue reading Hymns: Cornerstone
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
