CAESURA: January 2014
http://john-caesura.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 6, 2014. STILL HERE - GOD WILLING, MORE TO COME. At the beginning of this new year I wanted to touch base with those of you who read my ramblings, to ask that God's blessing for you, will be to His honor and glory, and simply say that my prayer for you is to, "Have a happy and blessed year! Having recently received cataract surgery, which repaired my near to long vision, (was my vision ever this good? My precious Valerie recently celebrated her 75th year of the gift of life, I'm approachi...

Tuesday, April 29, 2014. GRACE, GREAT GRACE! I have come to greatly respect the writing of Paul Burleson, who recently wrote about “The Race of Grace”. His article set me thinking about the word “GRACE”: It's an attractive word. Don't you think? Why else would some folk name their congregation Grace Bible Church, or something similar? Surely, those who name their children “Grace” wouldn't do so if they didn't consider the word attractive. Will we find genuine Christ-like grace there? For others to sin in...

CAESURA: September 2013
http://john-caesura.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 4, 2013. SO THE SAYING GOES. There is an old saying in this country, and maybe in others, which says that a nation gets the government it deserves. The words, as I understand the story,comes from people who believe that our great God is sovereign over the affairs of the nations, and has an interest in what kind of government a nation elects. Recently, on a government funded, national T.V. station, on, what is purported to be a serious public affairs program,. The PM replied,. This re...

Monday, April 7, 2014. N EW BEGINNING: NEW AGE OF GRACE. Whomever said the following words may not have known the spiritual implications of their words: “every story has an ending. But in life, every ending is a new beginning.”. Seeing them again this morning I couldn't help but apply them to the impending Easter weekend. The Easter Egg is still very evident in a vast array of forms and colors, but still recognisable as eggs! Eggs: The emblem of new beginnings! They are still under the old bondage of the...

CAESURA: December 2012
http://john-caesura.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 24, 2012. AMAZING GRACE: AMAZING LOVE! For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.”. In the preface to his work, “The Glorious Mystery of the Person of Christ”, page 30 (which can be downloaded from Google books), John Owen quotes Maxentius, with words which we need to grasp hold of as we think of this season we call Christmas. That he might make us rich. Down from His glory.

Thursday, April 3, 2014. 8220; having the appearance of godliness, but. Denying its power”. I recently saw a photograph of a church door, upon which was written something attributed to a follower of Christ by the name of T.Austin-Sparks: It said, “Religion can be the greatest enemy of God's true thought, because it is Satan's best deception”. That is so very true, but, I must confess that it took me many years of ministry as a pastor to fully understand what this chap was talking about. Often,during my p...

CAESURA: February 2013
http://john-caesura.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 16, 2013. FREE IN CHRIST : THE NEW COVENANT. Whilst writing this I was reminded of several of Paul's warning regarding false teachers, such as 1 Tim 1:3-7, when Paul said, "Certain persons, by swerving from these, have wandered away into vain discussion, desiring to be teachers of the law, without understanding either what they are saying or the things about which they make confident assertions.". It usually isn't long before we have inserted into our psyche that it is traitorous, and ...

Thursday, February 13, 2014. HERETICAL AND HIGHLY DANGEROUS: SAYS WHOM? I can never remember reading about any light being shone in understanding theological matters, no matter how orthodox, without there being, at least some, charges of heresy, or something similar. There seems to be a tendency to jump to conclusions about what someone says or writes, without careful examination of the teaching, or facts. Petulantly, voiced, by those who share my doctrinal convictions. A chap, by the name of. The book l...

Saturday, September 18, 2010. The Movie Heaven's Rain. Friday evening Paul and I went to the Bricktown movie in downtown OKC. Paul had read about the movie Heaven's Rain. That was opening and showing. We later found out that it was only showing in four cities in the US. This is a picture of the real Brooks Douglas and Leslie Douglas, brother and sister. The movie is very well done and the guy who plays Brooks Douglas is a well-known actor now appearing on Miami Medic, a TV show. Brooks Douglas plays his ...
