Mobile Quiet Times (for 30 Days)

The Virgin (not Mary but the business) have decided to give me 30 days of free unlimited internet access. This post is my first one written on my mobile, which is great & may lead to more mobile blog posts. What else is great is that Biblegateway have a mobile site. So for those 10 mins I spend walking to work 3 days a week, I can now use as my mobile quiet time!

Song of Solomon’s Lover

My little sister, Emily Raine, was reading through Song of Solomon. Making notes on chapters 4 and 7 she came up with this:

Dear Fred

If you’re not sure why I’m addressing this post to Fred, it’s because of the comment he posted and the questions he raised on the about page (though it has now been removed and posted below). His concerns are well put and quite reflective of contemporary perspectives. Fred opens his comment with these words: “I always find it puzzling how anyone can consider “the Bible” as the authoritative source of knowledge of “Christ.” How can “the Bible” be considered authoritative when it’s accuracy and authenticity are dubious? “

Twelve Years

The other Sunday, we came onto the stories of the dead girl and the bleeding woman in Luke 8. You know the story I’m sure, where Jairus comes up to Jesus and says, “Help, my daughter is dying.” And then whilst Jesus is going a woman who’s been bleeding for ages reaches out and gets healed. In the meantime the girl dies and then Jesus goes and brings her back to life.

Wisdom Literature’s Uniqueness

I’ve just added a new article to 2008’s articles, that’s because I wrote it in November 2008 but have only just got round to adding it. It’s from a module taken at WEST on the Wisdom Literature in the Bible, which includes Job, Proverbs and Ecclesiastes.

Well Oiled Bible!

Jacuzzi Quiet-Times

I finally got an actual day-pass to go to a gym and actually use their facilities. So after spending some time in the sauna and then in the steam room, I was sat in the jacuzzi. After a few minutes of awkwardly avoiding looking at anyone else in there, I thought to myself, I’m a bit bored; relaxed but bored. I could do with something to keep my attention on. I wasn’t in one of those moods where I could lie back and dream big dreams and solve the world’s problems – maybe because of my heavy workout.
