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 see anything wrong with eating meat, but I think that I could happily live in a world without meat. I do eat meat and fish, but I tend to like it best when it doesn’t look like meat. And I never like the notion of animals being slaughtered. I suppose that there’s a … Continue reading Mixed
I’m not into fashion at all. So, I can’t really think in terms of having favorite things to wear. The only way that I can respond to today’s prompt is to speak in spiritual terms, and also reflect on some old pop hits. I’ll begin with the pop hits. It might even provoke me to … Continue reading Forever in Blue Jeans
In this series, I explore some of the very modern worship songs as an old guy 😀. And I try to be positive, though I generally seem to end up damning them with faint praise. But I am gradually growing to like them more and more. Today’s hymn has a wonderful title: Glorious Day. It’s … Continue reading Hymns: Glorious Day
I’ve never been keen on telephones. In my younger days, I’d use them when I needed to, but I generally avoided them. I always get a bit jittery when they ring. Then, back in the 1990s, when everyone started buying mobile phones, I didn’t bother 😀. I did get one eventually, probably in the mid-noughties. … Continue reading My Phone 😀
In this series, I explore some modern songs as an old guy – with one foot in the grave and one foot on a banana skin 😀. I remember David Pawson making that joke when I saw him at St. Marks, Kennington, London back in 1982. He was only 52 then. And I’m 10 years … Continue reading Hymns: Lion and the Lamb
In this series, I explore some of the very modern worship songs from the point of view of an older guy. I like to be positive. I spent a good part of my life criticizing all things modern, but now that I’m in my sixties, I’m trying to avoid being a stereotypical “grumpy old man.” … Continue reading Hymns: King of My Heart
Firstly, let me explain the expression “committing my life to Christ”. I grew up in Roman Catholic Ireland, and I was brought up as a Roman Catholic. It was widely believed that everyone was a Christian by default in Ireland, but in school, we’d hear stories of conversions. These would be famous saints, such as … Continue reading Committing My life to Christ
I began this series with my Hymns: 1980 Memories post, so this is the 39th in the series 😀. My main memory of 2019 was a little autumn holiday in Dublin with a day in Belfast. We hadn’t been to Belfast since 1998. For whatever reason, I’m very nostalgic about that little 2019 holiday. Belfast … Continue reading Hymns: 2019 Memories
From my recollection, during holidays, we either eat out or cook something very simple at home. I’ve nothing more to say really, at least nothing directly related to today’s prompt. Here’s a pic we took in the Lake District, UK, in our 2003 holiday. It might be Ambleside or somewhere close. Happy days 😀. We … Continue reading Nothing Special
In this series, I survey some of the very modern worship songs as an old guy 😀. I try to be positive. Not everyone is positive about modern hymns. “So many hymns today (if “hymns” they deserve to be called) are full of maudlin sentimentality, instead of Divine adoration. They announce our love to God … Continue reading Hymns: Great Are You Lord
