Watchman: "I want my people to give a damn"
http://www.ipswichwatchman.com/2015/06/want-my-people-to-give-damn.html
Seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you." Jeremiah 29:7. Tuesday, 2 June 2015. I want my people to give a damn. When I got there. And we started praying I was prompted to read Psalm 135. God put the actual Psalm reference into my mind. I read it aloud not knowing what it was going to say. It seemed to resonate with what we had been talking about. And then Jonathan said that it reminded him of a passage that had been in his prayer times a lot recently. Blogs that I follow .

Watchman: December 2013
http://www.ipswichwatchman.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you." Jeremiah 29:7. Monday, 30 December 2013. Lead a Lovers Life. I had the privilege yesterday of being on the door at church whilst two baptisms were going on. These were two adults who have chosen life in Christ. It seemed that everyone at church yesterday was moved by the "testimony" or life story that was shared by Gavin and Shirley. There is something that brings people to that kind of decision point. As we go through life different...

Seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you." Jeremiah 29:7. Sunday, 25 January 2015. Season of the Spirit. What this Watchman is noticing is that 2015 has a different spiritual atmosphere to it. It's true already that some people are going through a very difficult time. But in addition to that is an awareness that spiritually speaking this year is different. Yes! I dare to promise you, in the Lord's name it will be different. What does love look like? It has the hands to help o...

http://www.ipswichwatchman.com/2014/10/the-gift-of-faith.html
Seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you." Jeremiah 29:7. Sunday, 5 October 2014. The gift of Faith. Lately I have found myself involved in a few conversations where I have been prompted to remember how I came to believe in God. I am praying this morning, as you read this for the gift of faith for you. Just as God hovered over the waters breathing life, I ask him to breath faith into your being. One of the very first people to have an encounter was a shepherd called Moses....

http://www.ipswichwatchman.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you." Jeremiah 29:7. Friday, 30 May 2014. Let's start with an unapologetic trip down memory lane. I have been thinking recently about the use of and meaning of silence in church and prayer groups. At men's prayer group we have been experimenting with silence in a group setting. That's what the instructions say for the Catholic liturgy on Maundy Thursday. At St Gerties, in the 1990. Of course some do! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Ceri harris...

Watchman: What happens when people meet Jesus in a real context
http://www.ipswichwatchman.com/2014/11/what-happens-when-people-meet-jesus-in.html
Seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you." Jeremiah 29:7. Wednesday, 19 November 2014. What happens when people meet Jesus in a real context. As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,” he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him. This was a portable construction that was set up where he was collecting his tax. All a bit more vulnerable than we at first think. He must have been challenged by Jesus to ...To en...

http://www.ipswichwatchman.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you." Jeremiah 29:7. Friday, 14 February 2014. Today is a day for celebrating love. Artificially selected by the makers of greetings cards it strikes terror in the heart of those dying to express love for someone. I well remember as a young lad the angst of buying and sending anonymously my first valentine card and then being surprised at not getting a response. Doh! I was so diffident then that she probably didn't even know I existed.
