Music Review: Ben Cantelon- Everything in Colour.

Published on 2012-05-07 22:39:00

It is way too easy to get swept off our balance if we inadvertently shift our gaze -away from God’s perspective- in the direction of the state of World Affairs around us. One is sure to see only the pain, the anguish, the chaos, and unending spate of suffering of mankind. This as we know it is black & white. It is human reality!However as Worship Leader/songwriter Ben Cantelon reminds us, if only we’d dare to see things from a different angle all of life’s puzzles could just make sense.A c [..] > read more

Music Review: Deluge SWELLS

Published on 2012-04-16 22:50:00

It takes a heart that thinks to express gratefulness for the gift called- life! From the sandy beaches, to the unending spectacle of seaside views including the –mystery of– the thunderous Ocean waves; God is indeed worthy of all our praises as these creations express their own impactful little ways. Staying true with this perception, Deluge (from the Bethany World Prayer Centre Stables) also attempts to etch this picture of God’s goodness in their rather allegorically themed theatrical [..] > read more

Music Review: God Shed His Grace by Twila Paris

If you asked me about what God thinks about politics? I'd advise you to cast a fastidious look through the 5th Chapter of Joshua. There Joshua learnt an indelible lesson: God is way too incontrovertible to be a politician!He's got other pressing issues to attend too. Thus, partisan politics, or patriotism which also includes zealotry all dwells in the human territory.All God seeks and passionate about in man is - a renewed Heart!

With this James Fortune's clip this is wishing everyone out there a very fruitful New Year ahead. Fortunately for me and I believe you'd feel the same as I do; that though there’s no one scientist, or philosopher, or even that Prophet who’d predict precisely how such a year- the outlook of which many have already sealed with a gloomy forecast, but which could eventually turn out as the “bestest” year for those who’d dare to see otherwise- would pan out!
