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..
One of my fantasies is being granted the power to identify who’s involved in evil activity, such as terrorism, drug dealing etc. and teleport them to hell immediately rather than wait until they die. Another option might be to send them to an alternative universe to live with people like themselves, but to have the … Continue reading He Shall Reign Forever
This will undoubtedly be my worst post ever 😀. I just wouldn’t bother buying an expensive meal. Even when I was dating my wife in my younger years, we’d check out the prices before we went for a meal, and I can never remember paying much at all. We do enjoy food, but for the … Continue reading Worst Post Ever
The story that I’ve chosen is all about a Crooked House in Birmingham. Seems it was subjected to an arson attack and demolished illegally. People are campaigning to have it rebuilt. It seemed slightly interesting because I was expecting it to look a little bit like the house in the “There Was a Crooked Man” … Continue reading There Was a Crooked House
I think of an old song “Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I possess”. Well, it is a great gift, but I’d say that salvation is the greatest gift that I possess. Matt 1:2121 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people … Continue reading The Greatest Gift That I Possess
I answered a question similar to this a few weeks ago in my Hard Habit to Break post. I described a few habits there. Perhaps I should just pick one. The question asks about joy. The word has a variety of meanings. At the deepest level, communing with God brings me joy. I like to … Continue reading Java Jive
I’m old enough to remember Ireland’s first Eurovision win; Dana with All Kinds of Everything. It’s a song about romance, but even apart from romance, you can take delight in learning about all kinds of everything. Think also of My Favourite Things from The Sound of Music. We sometimes laugh at such songs. When I … Continue reading All Kinds of Everything
We used the Mission Praise hymn book in our fellowship in Tipperary, and I don’t remember many 21st Century songs in it, if any. But some of the newer songs gradually found their way into Irish churches, though we stuck with Christian Hymns and Mission Praise in Tipperary. The most notable hymn from around 2002 … Continue reading Hymns: 2002 Memories
I have a very early memory of being with a gang of boys in the street. I suppose I was about four-years old. I had just discovered peer pressure and how people sometimes viewed you as being a bit of a “cissy” or girly if you weren’t as nasty as the rest of the boys. … Continue reading A Kind Revolution
That’s a tough question. I could say that I look really handsome, but Christians aren’t allowed to tell lies 😀. A dutchman once told me that I look very Irish. I didn’t know whether to take that as a complement or as an insult 😀. I’m smallish – around 5 foot 6 and in my … Continue reading Somewhere Between Laurel and Hardy
My parents were quite modern in their thinking. In fact, I would even say that my grandparents were. You would hear about old Irish traditions in school, but I lived in an urban area (Cork City) and most of these were associated with rural Ireland. I often wonder too, if highlighting these was more about … Continue reading Irish Traditions
