Where next? Some reflections

I have been posting regularly on this blog for about a year and a half.  My intention at the outset was to convey my views about the God/world relationship in relation to all of the key questions that philosophically minded people ask.  I feel that now, having written two books (one published and one on … Continue reading »

‘Christians, Muslims, and Jesus’ by Mona Siddiqui (book review)

I am convinced that there is one God.  This is not the God of one particular religion only, but the God of all religions and of all creation.  This is important because it means that different religions, with their various and differing dogmas and creeds, do in fact have the most important thing in common: … Continue reading »

Living with the Question

Anyone who has read my blog in any depth will recognise that there are two important components to my beliefs about God and the world.  On the one hand, there is my panentheist attitude that sees God in everything as the ‘cosmic animator’ – responsible for everything that happens in the cosmos.  On the other … Continue reading »

‘Simply Jesus’ by Tom Wright (book review)

My Christian faith is constantly challenged by the rational view I have of God.  Nevertheless, I find myself wanting to immerse myself in theological writing, as I find discussions about Jesus fascinating, and there is no doubt that Jesus is such an important figure in human history; I feel enticed into exploring His life, death, … Continue reading »

Holding onto Hope

There is no doubt that when my life is focused on Jesus, and I am engrossed in the Bible and in fellowship with my Christian friends, my life takes on a new dimension; a graceful, glorious dimension.  I am absolutely convinced that there is great power in the name of Jesus, and I have witnessed … Continue reading »

Being out of psychiatric hospital and living back in the community is a real blessing.   I am lucky to have a roof over my head in a nice house with friendly housemates and a clean bright room, praise God! As I settle into my new home I am endeavouring to make plans that will make … Continue reading »

God is Merciful

Dear friends, I’m happy to say I am now out of psychiatric hospital and living in the community again.  The Lord has been very generous to me, blessing me with a lovely room in a great location.  I can’t quite believe my luck!  This is surely an answer to prayer. I apologise once again for … Continue reading »

Life Goes On…

My dear friends, I must first offer you an apology because it has been several weeks since I last posted.  I am still in psychiatric hospital and circumstances have dictated that I have had very limited internet access and some personal troubles that have prevented me from sharing with you for a while. You may … Continue reading »

Prayer to banish evil forces

Heavenly father, thank you for the great victory over evil that your cross represents. Most merciful Lord, thank you that the cross is the ultimate weapon against my enemies, and that no evil force, treachery, deceit, or malice that would attack this holy temple will ever succeed. Cover my life with the blood of Jesus, … Continue reading »

A Prayer: ‘Let It Be True’

Lord, please, let it be true. That the death of your Son is my salvation, Lord, let it be true. That the agony of the cross was not in vain, Lord, let it be true. That by His wounds we are healed, Lord, let it be true. That evil has been overcome, Lord, let it … Continue reading »
