If we do not intentionally bring our conscience under the gospel, DAILY, it will drift back under the law, guilt and shame.

That’s what my name would be if I were a blues singer.

Use this chart to work out what you would be called. A chocolate freddo for the scariest or funniest name. I decide.

Planning Ahead

I often think I prove the maxim “if you aim at nothing you’re sure to hit it”. Although I like to be organised, I don’t really go in for structure and plans that are too regimented and stifling (read disciplined and productive). I prefer my easy come, easy go, lets-see-what-happens approach to life.

It’s often just an excuse for laziness, fear of failure, and bad habits, of course.

This morning I read what John Piper has to say on the subject on the Desiring God website. It’s hard to argue. He uses examples from the Bible to illustrate how planning is common sense, necessary and godly. It’s well worth a read.

I’ll need to sit down and do some careful planning. I’m not sure if I’ll tell you how I get on with it!

Happy New Year

Read your Bible, pray every day, and you’ll grow, grow, grow.

Excellent advice from a chorus I sang as a child.

Thanks to both of you for reading this blog over the past year. I hope you have a blessed 2012.

Youth is when you’re allowed to stay up late on New Year’s Eve. Middle age is when you’re forced to.

Quote Christmas

The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God — children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.
