In a world that needs Christ, the world also needs love and laughter and it needs peace… We can pray and hope for peace, but as far as taking Christ to the world, there is no reason why you and me can’t do that. As I said in Tuesday’s blog post Get Out There!, [...]

Just a few months ago we celebrated the birth of Jesus, and then in the last couple of weeks, we celebrated Christ‘s death and His resurrection, but where do we go from here? Yes, Christmas and Easter are the two most important events in the Christian calendar but that doesn’t mean that when it’s not [...]

Emptiness…that’s a horrible, lonely and depressing word isn’t it. That’s why when we talk about an empty cross, an empty tomb at Easter time, it always seems slightly contradicting to be celebrating that emptiness. However for once, emptiness is a positive thing to be celebrating as without the emptiness of Christ‘s cross and the emptiness of His [...]

Mark 16:5-7 (NIV) As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed. “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid [...]

No I haven’t got the year wrong, I meant to give this a ten-year-old title! Why? Because Easter weekend 10 years ago marked the start of a new era in my Christian journey. Easter 2002 was the first weekend that I no long attended Rutherglen Salvation Army, but Bellshill corps instead. I’d been attending evening [...]

I don’t know what your life is like or how you feel on a daily basis, but for me, life can be a bit of a struggle physically and emotionally a lot of the time. In fact, I’d go as far as saying that over the last few years I’ve sometimes considered life to be [...]

A couple of weeks ago I spoke a few times about how people like to put labels on things…objects and people! In this last week I become all to aware once again that people are very quick to put labels on others. What has become very visible to me is that people tend to put [...]

I am not what I want to be. I am not what I should be. I am not what I one day will be. But, thank God, I’m not what I once was. From the moment we are born, we start our journey through life, initially knowing nothing. However each moment we spend on earth [...]
