I am far from a perfect person, and am by no means a Biblical scholar. This category contains just some of my thoughts on faith.
One of the old spiritual songs we sometimes sing in worship is “This World is Not My Home”, or as it is alternatively titled “I Can’t Feel At Home Anymore”. I was asked to fill in worship leading this morning, and the person I was replacing had chosen this as their opening song. I am a firm believer in meaning what we sing in our […]

Benjamin Cremer If your

Many churches who may never have considered streaming their services or doing online video are now faced with having to switch to digital options. Part of my day job is helping on the digital side of

Hopefully this is all in the past now, and we have moved on. When I got

It has been already in the ages before us. There is no remembrance of former things, nor will there be any remembrance of later things
