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..
At last! A simple question, but I can’t see myself winning any awards for this post 😀. I would eat muesli because I generally write my blog posts in the mornings. I remember the introduction of Alpen and Country Store back in the 1970s. For many years, I ditched the Cornflakes and Weetabix in favour … Continue reading Muesli
This is just me thinking out loud, so don’t assume that I’m totally for a Lidl church. But here’s what causes me to wonder about this. I’m speaking as an evangelical Christian. Let’s suppose that there’s a little old Baptist church in an Irish town with 20 people attending. It’s the only evangelical church in … Continue reading Lidl Church
When I got my first job, I remember purchasing a pretty basic Hohner organ. That was way back in 1977. It didn’t have many sounds, but I used to enjoy playing all my favourite hits of the day. Here are two that I would have played as soon as I bought it 😄. There were … Continue reading Hohner Organ
A concise way to answer this question is to quote from the Westminster Shorter Catechism: Q. What is the chief end of man?A. Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy Him forever. And this is obviously based on Scriptural teaching. Here’s what Microsoft Copilot listed when I asked it about what the … Continue reading My Chief End
Here’s Bob Dylan singing Forever Young back in 1976. I would have thought of him as an old guy back then. I was 14 in 1976. But he’s still touring. He was in Killarney here in Ireland a couple of months ago. He’s now 84. And I’m heading to 64. In a matter of months, … Continue reading Forever Young
I honestly don’t know how to answer this question 😄. There are so many things that I could do differently, but I like things they way they are. I’ll just mention a thought that has recently come to mind. I have so many books that I still want to read. I have been contemplating spending … Continue reading Spend a Day Without IT?
I’d like to have some sort of a Christian message. When I was younger, I always liked to see Bible verses on buses, street posters, and so on. And I knew this guy, Frank Hogan, who used to attend sports events with the John 3:7 sign. So perhaps I would choose that. Initially, I didn’t … Continue reading John 3:7
I should think about the future because that’s the emphasis in the New Testament. And it’s good to live in the moment too. But in reality, I think that I spend most time thinking about the past. Maybe it’s quite natural as you grow older, but I can even remember doing that as a child. … Continue reading The Past
I could say 1 million euro, but 2 million would be better. Well, whatever amount I chose, I could think of a higher number. But I don’t suppose anyone is gonna give me much money 😄. And money doesn’t necessarily bring happiness anyway, although it’s nice to have slightly more than you need. Salvation is … Continue reading The Gift of Salvation
My first third-level college was Cork Regional Technical College, now Munster Technological University (MTU). At that time, I was an apprentice maintenance fitter. We would spend a few months each year in college classes but we’d spend most time in industry. I also took night classes there for a couple of years. A few years … Continue reading University of Limerick
