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 this series, I take a look at some of the very modern worship songs, as a fan of the older hymns. I try not to criticize them. You can always find good things in them. The one thing that I found odd about today’s hymn is the word “reckless”. It reminds me of Wreckless … Continue reading Hymns: Reckless Love
In this series, I take a brief glance at some very modern worship songs. I have a deep love for Christian history and the older hymns. I also enjoy looking back at the contemporary hymns that spanned my own Christian life. I’ve been a Christian for 45 years now – and a nominal Christian for … Continue reading Hymns: Raise A Hallelujah
In this series, I take a brief look at some of the very modern worship songs. I regret that the older hymns aren’t sung much anymore in modern evangelical churches. Yet, we do have access to them all on YouTube and Spotify. And maybe they’ll come back again at some stage. But I like to … Continue reading Hymns: Build My Life
In this series, I take a brief glance at some of the modern hymns, as an old guy. 😀. Knowing so many wonderful old hymns, it would be easy for me to be critical, but I try not to be. Today’s hymn has a strange word in brackets in the title – Anástasis. What does … Continue reading Hymns: O Praise The Name (Anástasis)
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
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)
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
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
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
