First Saturday in Dublin

Hello and welcome to my blog on Dublin!

 Here my intention is to blog about my experience of living and working in Dublin, every area of it. I hope you enjoy it.

 Now onto the important things! I'm currently in Dublin settling in, checking out coffee shops and sorting stuff for starting work on Monday morning.

 I'll be going to Adelaide Road Presbyterian Church whilst I'm here, I have been already and it is a great, God glorifying Church.

 This was a very short first post, but thanks for reading, the future posts will be longer hopefully!

Power of Prayer - James 5:13-18

Introduction Prayer. So often neglected, yet so powerful. It has been said "You can tell a lot about a Church by observing how many people come to the prayer meeting." This is a very good comment because if somebody really understand the Gospel and is truly in Christ, prayer will be a priority. It has also been said that Prayer is to the Christian life as breathing is to the human life. This is yet another excellent observation because it highlights just how important prayer is. Why Should We Pray? If we take a minute to think about this question, it becomes clear that culture has shaped us more than we realise. Culture tells us that prayer doesn't work, even taking it as far as to say that prayer is pointless. To an extent, we've accepted this. Society sometimes prays when disaster occurs, even if they don't believe in prayer. We must return to Sola Scriptura, the belief that God's Word is enough, that His Word is inerrant, and that it is our only autho...

Complaining, Yet Being Thankful

The title sounds odd, right? Yes it does, at first glance. Come with me as I explain what I mean! Scriptural focus is Philippians 2:14-16 "Do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain." Philippians 2:14-16. Let's remember the context of this epistle. Paul is in prison, yet rejoicing in Christ because his contentment is based on Christ, not his circumstances. He is writing to the Church in Philippi. The Church in Philippi has a special significance to Paul as it was the first Church he planted in Europe. In terms of the whole of chapter 2 , there is a lot to mention context wise, so lets keep it brief and to the point. There were no major issues in the Church in Philippi, just one...

Scandalous by D.A. Carson Review

As Christians we all know about the Cross of Christ. We're all 'super familiar' with it and hence we lose the wonder of it. Do we really know the significance of the Cross of Christ? I know for me I used to lose the wonder of the Cross. But then I started to see just how central Christ is in absolutely everything and I realised that without the Cross Christianity is nothing. When you see the weight and seriousness of your sin in the light of God's grace, you're simply in awe, astounded that He would go to that length for you, and for His chosen people.  I think it was Martin Luther that said, "You need to preach the Gospel to yourself daily". There is so much truth in this, echoing Matthews Gospel, where Jesus says, " If anyone would come after me, let him  deny himself and  take up his cross and follow me.   For  whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it" ( Matthew 16:24-28 ). We must in...
