“for we do not preach ourselves but Jesus Christ as Lord and ourselves as your servants for Christ’s sake.”

Christianity is strange. It bids man recognise that he is vile, even abominable, and bids him desire to be like God. Without such a counterpoise, this dignity would make him horribly vain, or this humiliation would make him terribly abject. — Blaise Pascal

Zetta

There is a word we are much loathe to use
(All while awhoring in secret we go),
Which word when spoken has pow’r to effuse
Suggestions that smite right through the ego.
But call me wretched, for this single word
So aptly my ways and worship depicts,
That humbled and down and duly deterred
I come now to hear of facts that convict.
“Unfaithful” that [...]

A nasty little conundrum for feminists…

Screenshot

Let me start this one out by saying that I certainly take no pleasure whatsoever in pointing out this particular conundrum since it refers to a particularly unpleasant and tragic reality. However, I am pointing it out – sincerely and purposefully – not to gloat in the slightest but simply to continue in my ongoing aim of exposing the glaring inconsistensies in the secular worldview [...]

The most desirable value?

Screenshot

Tolerance. It’s one of the bywords of our modern society. But what does it really mean… and why is it used so frequently nowadays?
The dictionary defines it as: willingness to accept or endure (someone or something unpleasant or disliked) with forbearance.
Well I ask you… is the world really so full of disagreeable people that “this” should be seen as the great value in today’s [...]

O write me a verse for the amorous one,
Who would give his all, a love to pursue.
Such fervour is oft brief, swiftly undone,
And we question: can love ever be true?
Of grandiose gestures we are most fond
We plan them through the wee hours of the night
Hoping to fashion some passionate bond;
In her heart of hearts, ‘I’ her new [...]

“Thou shalt not disagree”

Screenshot

The latest EU slogan that we are hearing bandied about is ‘Unity in diversity’, a testament to the values of tolerance and acceptance that the EU is proud to espouse. The general idea is that although we all may come from different backgrounds and have different ideas on various issues, we believe that it is more important that we are united rather than opposed to [...]

Couldn’t resist…

Screenshot

I don’t know if this is true, but… how true! Come to think of it, I find it hard to believe that I haven’t yet posted any pro-mac propaganda! Probably a good sign though…
At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the  computer industry with the auto industry and stated :
“if GM had kept up with the technology like the computer industry [...]

Who changed the laws of attraction?

Screenshot

As we approach Valentines Day, no doubt some of us who don’t receive cards or don’t have a date or significant other will be feeling downcast and perhaps be engaging in much soul-searching: “Am I really so unwanted? Will I ever find ‘anyone’, let alone ‘the one’, with ‘my’ looks??” We will probably be in much need of consolation at this time and one quote [...]

Just whose world is it anyway?

Screenshot

Altruism purports to be the best solution to mankind’s problems through the selfless giving of oneself and one’s resources to others with no thought of anything in return. You know, the whole: “If we could only be nice to each other…” What could possibly be wrong with that? Anyone who has seen the film, “Pay it forward”, can easily see that it appears to be [...]

About this website

This site has two main aims:

1) To provide an outlet for Tim’s (often muddled) thoughts in the form of posts, poems, links etc
2) Winsomely and sensitively, yet also boldly, to further the cause of Jesus Christ
not in that order

A Little Something About Me

Tim and Cynthia Coomar

My name is Tim. I am a web designer, church planter and doting husband (again, not in that order). I am currently studying for ordination into the Greek Presbyterian Church and working part-time for Prototype Design.
