Thank God that Jesus did NOT maintain a safe distance
Posted In ChristianTagged In christmas, coronavirus, social distancing

Over the last couple of weeks I have written about Biblical principles and covid (safety and truth). After Christmas I will, God-willing, continue – but for now I just wanted to share a brief thought. This is what it says in John 1:14: “The Word became flesh and made his Continue Reading

O Come, O Come Emmanuel: Meaning
Posted In WritingsTagged In advent, carol, carols, christmas, hymnology, o come o come emmanuel

It’s been a while since I last posted in my occasional ‘hymnology’ series, where I look at the meaning of Christian hymns. You can see the previous ones under the hymnology tag. Seeing as it’s Advent Sunday, I thought it might be worth looking at the popular Advent hymn O Continue Reading

I did say a few days ago I’d try and post again before Christmas. I was planning to write something intelligent and profound, but – well, actually, given it’s me you may be waiting a long time for that! I just wanted to post up a quick “Happy Christmas” to Continue Reading

Christmas Carols

Posted on December 18, 2011 by Phill Sacre
Posted In ChristianTagged In carol, christmas, reflections

I was originally intending to write a little light-hearted ‘review’ of some Christmas Carol lyrics here, but somewhat ran out of steam. Instead, I just wanted to post one or two thoughts about the Christmas Carols which many people (in this country at least) sing year on year. We’ve been Continue Reading
