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 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
I don’t like to describe people that everyone knows, and I don’t like to describe friends and family. I’m not sure that I’d be happy if someone described me on the web. Maybe it depends on what they might say 😄. Wayne Grudem is one of many authors/speakers that have had a positive impact on … Continue reading Wayne Grudem
