The Value of Conversations

by Dale Harcombe

03 Feb 2010 08:10 PM

Something struck me yesterday while doing a spell check after writing an article. I'd meant to write 'conversation' but because I'm the world worst typist - dyslexic fingers, it came out not even close. As a result spell check suggested I meant 'conversion.' But that error actually made me think.

We See Differently

by Dale Harcombe

26 Jan 2010 07:32 PM

Last week someone challenged me about what I wrote for this blog. Unless I misread his comment he seemed to suggest that because Christ died for all, we all had the same destiny - of heaven. The way I read it, that's not what the bible, which is my authority, says.

Some Good People Are Not Going to Heaven

Some good people are not going to go to heaven. That's what God says. Take a look at John 3:17-18 and you'll see that God has laid down the criteria of what it takes to get into heaven and it's not what many of us expect. And it's hard.

How to Conquer Fear

by Dale Harcombe

Fear can stop us achieving our potential. It can stop us trying new things. Now I admit even as I write this, I'm writing it to myself as much as anyone. I'm not the most fearless person out. There are some things I wouldn't do because fear stops me. That's okay, if they're unimportant things.

Start the Year Right

A new year is a good time to think about our Christian life and our relationship with God. A good place to start could be with Psalm 119. With 176 verses, there are lots of great verses in this psalm, but the ones I am focusing on today and next week are verses 9-16.

Take Stock

As we look towards a new year, it is a good time to take stock and to reflect on how our Christian life is going. Sometimes when people are trying to lose weight they can reach a plateau and they end up staying there and never manage to lose that last bit.

What Makes Christmas, Christmas?

You could be forgiven for thinking Christmas is all about presents, food, family, Santa and all the other things the world pushes at us.

You Could Make a Difference

It's that time of year where churches get lots of visitors. Some come with family members over Christmas. Others are on holidays. Still others do their annual church visit to a carols or a Christmas service.

Ever Wonder Why You Bother?

by Dale Harcombe

08 Dec 2009 03:32 PM

Do you ever wonder why you bother? Sometimes I do? And it's usually when things don't turn out the way I expect. I suspect some of you are no different. We go into a situation, we pray for guidance and we have our own ideas of how we want God to answer the prayer. That had been my case.

What a Difference!

Sometimes the words of the old hymns touch us so deeply. Last night as we practiced for church one we sang was, 'May the Mind of Christ My Saviour,' except we sang it with a more modern tune. Check out these words.
