Remembering John Motson; Listen and Learn

A few days ago, I learned of the passing of John Motson and was also alerted to another wise saying: “Listen and Learn” to add to the six wise sayings I blogged concerning recently (see here).

Charismatic or Reformed – memories from my university days

I went to Queen Mary College (part of London University) in order to “read chemistry”, upon leaving school in 1970. I would like to share some memories I had as a young, keen Christian, which strangely resonate today, mindful of the words of the Preacher in Ecclesiastes – that there is nothing new under the sun, and noting Murphy’s Law – that often things are not what they seem.

George Soros – the man who broke the Bank of England

According to Wikipedia: “George Soros is a Hungarian-American businessman and philanthropist. As of March 2021, he had a net worth of US$8.6 billion, having donated more than $32 billion to the Open Society Foundations, of which $15 billion has already been distributed, representing 64% of his original fortune. Forbes called him the “most generous giver” (in terms of percentage of net worth)”.

I mentioned in my blog titled: “Whatsoever things are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report”, posted yesterday, I did so partly as an antidote to check out even more distressing news.  

Whatsoever things are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report

“Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse” Philippians 4:8 (The Message).

What to make of the Asbury Revival?

Part of my daily watchman routine is to check out the likes of Bitchute for news on what is going on in the world, which is often grim and foreboding, yet often culminates in new articles on my blog. Today, I came across this report: “Asbury Revival: Why it’s unique & what’s next?” and I was encouraged.

Jehoiada, a priest of the Bible and one who made a difference

I don’t ever recall a hearing sermon on Jehoiada, a priest of the Bible, but having just made a study of his life (2 Kings 9-12 and 2 Chronicles 22-24) and striking lucky with my You Tube search for a suitable sermon on this mostly overlooked character (this one here is by someone who “gets it”), I feel compelled to write. 

What is happening with our food and is there a crisis?

Over the weekend I did the family food shopping and had an epiphany moment.
