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..
Hymns and memories of specific years or hymn categories
In this series, I explore some of the very modern worship songs from the perspective of someone who was introduced to worship songs back in 1980. Of course, even before then, I was acquainted with hymns. But in Ireland, many new songs were sung in the charismatic and Pentecostal movements in the late 1970s. As … Continue reading Hymns: Gratitude
In this series, I explore some modern worship songs from the point of view of an older person, who has a great love for all things old. But I don’t want to end up a grumpy old man – at least no grumpier than I’ve been all my life. I’ll try to be positive 😁. … Continue reading Hymns: Firm Foundation
In this series, I (as an old guy 😀) take a look at some modern worship songs. I’m desperately trying to settle down in the 21st Century – unless some kind person can tell me how I can travel back in time.😀 The first thing that I notice about today’s 2018 song is a riff … Continue reading Hymns: Who You Say I Am
In this series, I explore some of the newer Christian worship songs. I ignored new songs for most of the last 30 years. About 10 years ago I started catching up with some of the 1990s songs. Now, I’m trying to get to know the songs of the 21st Century. I don’t want to live … Continue reading Hymns: See a Victory
I began this series with my Hymns: 1980 Memories post, so this is the 38th in the series 😀. I think of 2018 as quite a dull year. I felt that way about some years in my earlier life, but I eventually grew to like them more. Perhaps your early years always seem more magical … Continue reading Hymns: 2018 Memories
In this series, I take a look at some of the very modern worship songs, as a fan of the older hymns. I try not to criticize them. You can always find good things in them. The one thing that I found odd about today’s hymn is the word “reckless”. It reminds me of Wreckless … Continue reading Hymns: Reckless Love
In this series, I take a brief glance at some very modern worship songs. I have a deep love for Christian history and the older hymns. I also enjoy looking back at the contemporary hymns that spanned my own Christian life. I’ve been a Christian for 45 years now – and a nominal Christian for … Continue reading Hymns: Raise A Hallelujah
In this series, I take a brief look at some of the very modern worship songs. I regret that the older hymns aren’t sung much anymore in modern evangelical churches. Yet, we do have access to them all on YouTube and Spotify. And maybe they’ll come back again at some stage. But I like to … Continue reading Hymns: Build My Life
In this series, I take a brief glance at some of the very modern worship songs. I spent many years ignoring these. Back around 2017, I started familiarizing myself with some new songs – but these were songs from the 1990s. I’m finally catching up with the 21st Century songs 😄. How Great is Our … Continue reading Hymns: How Great is Our God
In this series, I’m taking a brief glance at some of the newer hymns and worship songs. This one is older in two ways. But I first heard this current song when I went to see the film Amazing Grace, which was about William Wilberforce’s fight to abolish the British slave trade. You can view … Continue reading Hymns: Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)
