James Prescott: Jesus lasts
http://jamespressgang.blogspot.com/2010/11/jesus-lasts.html
Asking the difficult questions about living like Jesus today. Tuesday, November 23, 2010. Have you ever been doing something which you have deemed routine, normal, which you do all the time, and then completely out of the blue, a feeling, thought, insight has suddenly come over you which changed everything? Maybe it's just that I'm a deep thinker, but I get these things often. But I got one on Saturday which was truly life-changing, and opened my eyes to just what God's been doing with me. I know that th...

James Prescott: Embrace blessing, put Jesus first
http://jamespressgang.blogspot.com/2010/11/embrace-blessing-put-jesus-first.html
Asking the difficult questions about living like Jesus today. Saturday, November 06, 2010. Embrace blessing, put Jesus first. I don’t often comment on specific Bible passages, but this one has really stood out for me this week. Check this passage out:. 8220;Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then,. 8221; (Matthew 7 v9-11). I don’t know about you, but I have struggled a lot with this verse. I know I do. But t...

James Prescott: Control
http://jamespressgang.blogspot.com/2010/11/control.html
Asking the difficult questions about living like Jesus today. Monday, November 15, 2010. Today I bought a new album (which shall remain nameless, though as it came out today that narrows it down considerably, especially for those who know me) and as I purchased it in the shop I suddenly had this thought come over me, which has come over me a lot more often recently. 8216;Do I need this? 8216;Why did I buy this? It’s all about control. All of us feel it, no matter how much we deny it. It’s almos...That...

James Prescott: Divinely Naked
http://jamespressgang.blogspot.com/2010/11/divinely-naked.html
Asking the difficult questions about living like Jesus today. Friday, November 12, 2010. Have you ever heard someone say something about you, and the instant you heard it, it made sense? Like it ticked a box, you connected with it in some deep divine kind of way, almost like you always knew this thing about yourself, or had felt it on some level, but someone saying it had merely confirmed it or vocalised it for the first time? That happened to me the other day. It’s a scary thing actually, being yo...

James Prescott: November 2008
http://jamespressgang.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Asking the difficult questions about living like Jesus today. Sunday, November 23, 2008. Forget fear, embrace obedience. Fear can be one of the biggest holdups to achievement. How often do we not do something because we are 'worried about what might happen' or 'worried about.(fill in the appropriate reason). Worried of what people will think. Worried we'll fail and be embarrassed. Worried people will think we're stupid or foolish. Worried we'll alienate people. Worried people will think we're crazy.

James Prescott: April 2009
http://jamespressgang.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Asking the difficult questions about living like Jesus today. Saturday, April 04, 2009. I have been doing a lot of thinking and reflecting recently, and have come to a decision regarding the future of my writing/blogging. . In recent months I've been trying to write two blogs with two very different focuses and while I believe the motivation and the vision behind that was the correct one, that ultimately it is becoming too much of a drain on me. My real passion is the church, the future of the church, wh...

James Prescott: Giving thanks while the goings good
http://jamespressgang.blogspot.com/2010/11/giving-thanks-while-goings-good.html
Asking the difficult questions about living like Jesus today. Wednesday, November 10, 2010. Giving thanks while the goings good. That's what suffering does. I never wanted to be the kind of person who 'yet again did evil in the eyes of the Lord'. I mean every time I read that phrase I was thinking how dumb they were, and I was saying in my prayers how I would never do that. But then I stopped and thought something. I want to give Him glory and honour Him rightly when things are good, not just when things...

James Prescott: December 2008
http://jamespressgang.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Asking the difficult questions about living like Jesus today. Thursday, December 18, 2008. Its that time of year again. Is it me, or does the real power and meaning of Christmas get more and more drowned every year in the wave consumerism? What we want for Christmas, what we're giving, what we're doing, what we're eating and drinking. Does anyone stop to think why? Its about the God who made the universe humbling Himself to become a vulnerable baby so that He could save us. Thursday, December 18, 2008.
