Why I love politics but NOT in the church – Subtitles now added!
https://youtu.be/SL_q8CimtCU
I am an evangelical Christian, saved from the age of 14 at a Scripture Union schools camp. I was not brought up in any denominational or doctrinal tradition (in fact my parents were entirely non-Christian throughout my life), so I have largely formed my own opinions from the scripture I have read and my own personal walk with the Lord. I have found myself at odds so often with typical Northern Ireland (and wider) evangelical opinion, that I have decided to start this blog to record my thoughts, feelings and opinions. I shall, at all times, strive to be biblically based and guided by what I believe is my own effort to “rightly divide the word of God” (as is the clichéd expression).
I did spend three years at Bible College, so my knowledge of scripture should be reasonable (compared to most people). I do not set out to be controversial, though I do find myself quite naturally at loggerheads with my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. My explanation for this is that too much of our upbringing and cultural baggage influences our faith. Our opinions, decisions and lifestyle choices should be based on scripture, and NOTHING ELSE! How much I keep to that myself may be challenged, as it is within all of us to wish to cling to that which has long been familiar and comforting to us. Tradition has its place; it can be both good and bad. Though it is reprehensible, in my humble opinion, when it supersedes the written commandments and instructions of our Lord Jesus Christ.

‘The Cross a Moment in Time’
[waveplayer ids=”15007″]
The cross as you have never seen it before, inspired by God’s word and poduced by David Robinson
It may be empty since its last victim but it still whispers to every nation and in every tongue, ‘Come unto me’ pointing to ‘Christ the way the truth and the life for no man comes to the Father except through him’ John 14:6
There is no saviour here to adorn its boughs with glory, but there is an image of what a man would be without a Fathers love and a saviours sacrifice
The moment when death died and its last victim purchased eternal life for all who would put their truth in Christ’s blood bought salvation we can shout:
Thanks be to God, ‘I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me’ Galatians 2:20

Mom This Is How Godinterest, The Christian Social Network Works
Godinterest is an online photo-driven Christian social networking tool in which users re-post images of whats happening on the web and in their lives along with links to things they think are simply #Godinteresting, funny, or useful to their followers (“following” being essentially what “friending” is on other sites). People use #Godinterest in many ways, some as a newsfeed by following prominent people or networks, some as a pseudo-chatroom by limiting their followers and whom they follow to close friends and family, and some as a microblog for updating people about the work they are doing and their personal lives using photos.
“GODINTEREST USERS”
Godinterest users choose who they do and do not follow. They have total control of what news they receive on their ‘following’ page. When I refer to your “homepage”, I’m referring to the feed that you see when signed into Godinterest containing your and your followers posts. This is different from your personal Godinterest page (Godinterest.com/yourusername) which contains all of your posts including your replies to other users. You can have an unlimited amount of followers, but only follow a select few people if you want, making it easy to stay in touch with the people you care to stay in touch with.
WHO SEES WHAT
Anyone that follows @you will see your posts on their homepage. By putting another person’s @username at the start of a statement, it will show up in their notifications.
DIRECT MESSAGING
Direct Messages are private messengers (to other Godinterest users / the general public) that are exchanged between two users that follow each other. You cannot direct message someone that does not follow you and vice versa. Direct messages are the only private way to converse on Godinterest. “DM’s” are basically like emails. They are unsearchable on Godinterest.
HASHTAGS
Hashtags # are a way to label posts so that other users can see posts on the same topic. Hashtags contain no spaces or punctuation and begin with a “#” symbol.
Godinterest users create trending topics by using hash tags. For instance, a user might create a hashtag as a fun way to start a conversation like #God #Bless #Christian #ChristianSocialNetwork
Lastly, hashtags are used to punctuate statements or jokes on Godinterest. Some Godinterest users make sentence-long hashtags for comic effect.
