So you’re a Christian

Monsignor — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 18:58:27 +0000

I am sorely tempted to add a sub-heading to this post that reads “…who cares?”

In the last few weeks, whilst doing some research on the Net, I have come across an incredible number of submissions from people claiming to be Christians, arguing over their Christianity with [apparent] non believers, and even with other Christians. This behaviour [...]

Believing is seeing

Monsignor — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 04:29:06 +0000

The more I think about a life led by belief in an invisible God, the more ridiculous the whole concept seems. Many people have reportedly staked their lives for God, martyrs for a cause built upon a distinct lack of concrete, if not at least credible, evidence. This is not exclusive to followers of God [...]

Homosexuality in da house

Monsignor — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 18:16:17 +0000

I have thought long and hard about the question of homosexuality and for the most part have avoided it in discussions. I avoided it because I did not really understand how I felt about the subject. However, I read some information today on the Internet about a Christian church movement in the town that [...]

I, Drummer Boy

As a kid I was a great fan of Christmas carols (I still am). In particular was this one record (yes kids – a record) the cover of which I have been able to find and show here thanks to the wonders of the Internet.

Mostly, Christmas carols were just little ditties that I listened [...]

“As if, I will forgive you…”

Monsignor — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 16:11:35 +0000

As unfortunate as it seems, and in much the same way as there is no sacrifice for deliberate sin1, there is also no forgiveness for those who do not offer it to others themselves2. This is difficult stuff, but is consistent with the priceless sacrifice Christ made. A price, the value of which [...]

Love is a verb

Monsignor — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 11:24:47 +0000

The word “love” strikes gongs of infinitely varied subjectivity. When someone says “love”, what is the first meaning that floods into your mind? Is it a feeling, an action, a thought? Your answer will probably vary dependent upon the context in which it is used.

I can feel love; the kind that causes physiological changes in me – increased [...]

Love. Never Having to Say You’re Sorry.

Monsignor — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 23:33:30 +0000

Bed seems to be a place of respite for me these days and as such it is where I had my latest revelation. I thought about the saying “Love is never having to say you’re sorry“. I always thought this meant that someone who truly loved you would not require an apology for wrongs done [...]
