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..
Throughout my career, at various points, I would have spent most of my day largely with one person. In later years, I worked from home. I might be “with someone” in the sense that they’d be the person I interacted with most. But, perhaps some would work with mainly one person throughout their whole lives, … Continue reading I Am With You Always
From 1994 to 1998, I was involved in both Tipperary Christian Fellowship and Limerick Baptist Church. From 1998 to 2020, I focused solely on Tipperary, though I live in Limerick, 25 miles away. Up to the end of 2007, we met in the SIPTU Hall (shown here). Then, we moved to a community centre building … Continue reading Hymns: 1994 Memories
Over the years, I’ve read all sorts of books; particularly novels, technical, travel, music biographies and theological. The most impactful ones are related to my Christian faith. Reading the Bible goes without saying, and maybe you could see that as a collection of 66 books, so perhaps it doesn’t count. In recent years, I tend … Continue reading Powerful Books
The main fear that comes to mind is public speaking. I remember, way back in 1980, shortly after I committed my life to Christ, someone asked me if I’d like to share my testimony with the congregation. I declined, saying that I was too nervous to speak in public. Anyway, some months later, I was … Continue reading Fear No Evil
To answer that question, I need to consider the meaning of joy. It is much deeper than fun and happiness, but we should never play down fun and happiness. We have enough misery to deal with 😀. Provided we aren’t doing anything wrong or hurtful to others or ourselves, fun and happiness are to be … Continue reading Joy to the World!
So, what quality do I most value in a friend? It’s not an easy question to answer. I’m not even sure who to classify as friends. When I look back over my life, apart from my original family and my current wife and kids, I can’t really say that I had any very intimate friends. … Continue reading Anytime You Need a Friend
1993 was the year that I started feeling old 😀, which is perhaps why I purchased a Nintendo NES console and Achtung Baby by U2. I bought the U2 CD in HMV, Cruises Street, Limerick, just across the road from where we had our open-air preaching meetings. I had just listened to their Dublin concert … Continue reading Hymns: 1993 Memories
So, do I practice religion? It’s an interesting question. I’m an Irish evangelical Christian, and this is an evangelistic blog. But most Irish evangelicals that I know balk at the word religion. Maybe they associate religion with trying to get to heaven by being a member of a particular church or sect or by practicing … Continue reading Gimme That Old Time Religion
So, what am I good at? At various points of my life I believed that I was particularily good at something or other, but good is a relative term. There’s always plenty of people better than me. I was very proud, as a child, when I taught myself to play keyboards, but I’m no Rick … Continue reading I Am So Ordinary
So who would I most like to talk to soon? The three biggest things in my life are Family, Music and Christianity. I look forward to meeting my daughters who have grown up and moved to new locations. It’s always a joy to see them. And those in my family who have passed away, such … Continue reading Can We Talk?
