Logically
So Jesus died for all our sins past, present and future. Therefore there can be no law against anything any more if it is all forgiven. 23 All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify. 1 Corinthians 10:23 Logical. But then […]

Freedom
The passage below is taken from Eugene Peterson’s introduction to Paul’s letter to the Galatians: When men and women get their hands on religion, one of the first things they often do is turn it into an instrument for controlling others, either putting or keeping them “in their place.” The history of such religious manipulation […]

You cannot serve God and Mammon
The bible says, quite rightly of course, that money answers all things (Ecclesiastes 10:19). It also says that the love of it is the root of all evil (1 Timothy 6:10 KJV). Jesus was completely unconcerned about having or not having money. He was supremely confident in His Father’s care and so wasn’t bothered when […]

Tearing apart the Lion of Judah
Samson tore apart a lion of Judah in the Old Testament. I don’t think anything is ever put in the Bible by accident. A lot of the OT foreshadows things in the NT. 5 So Samson went down to Timnah with his father and mother, and came to the vineyards of Timnah. Now to his surprise, a young […]

Under authority
When Jesus was twelve years old, he went up to Jerusalem with His family and stayed behind doing His Father’s business (Luke 2:41-52). The trouble was that His earthly father and mother didn’t understand that. They didn’t know that at 12 He was ready to start His ministry. It would have been a challenge to […]

Dissenting
I am a bible believing Christian. As a result of reading the bible many people like us over many centuries and in many cultures have concluded that aspects of the Sacrifice of the Mass are in flat contradiction to what the bible says. For instance, the writer to the Hebrews says that there was one […]

Star Gazing
I find the science behind the Star of Bethlehem fascinating. I have always loved astronomy and Psalms 8 and 19 are among my favourites. The heavens declare the glory of God in more ways than one. If, like me, your faith is not a blind one but uses the reason that God has given us […]

Being Grateful for the Everyday
We need to count our blessings and be grateful for the things we take for granted every day. Most of Ireland’s citizens live like kings with freedom to worship, a government that’s accountable to them and a host of public services which the most needy never have to pay for. We also need to remember […]

A Rising Tide
I have felt encouraged by a number of words recently from various sources that are indicating that the Lord is moving, or about to move (depending on where you are) in a new way. This has been referred to as the “Third Wave” by some (e.g. by Sean Booth) and is foretold in a 1947 […]

More Distractions
Yesterday I was sent the same video by two friends. In the video a woman with a self confessed ignorance of the subject pointed out, in bordering on hysterical tones, that the ingredients in the Astra Seneca vaccine being developed in the UK included some that she found objectionable. The reason for her objection to […]
