Marriage Matters, Don't Awaken Love Before It's Time, S1, E4

youtu.be/1y20Hri8l58

Andy B and Jo jump right in with Song of Songs, the book in the bible all about marriage. And in this book, we are warned more than once – ‘Do not awaken love before it’s time’.

This is a gentle way of telling us about intimacy in relationships and the best time to awake this kind of love is when we are married.


Andy and Jo take a look at Song of Songs. This is God’s instruction on all things marriage, dating and sex. They talk through the effects of erotic literature, pornography and nudity on TV, and whether this is something that is good or bad for us.

Endurance, Season 2, Episode 5, Keeping It Real

As usual, we have with Andy B and with Steven and Nathan.


Using James 2 v 14-17, Matthew 23 v 27-28 and 1 Samuel 16 v 10, Andy B goes deeper and focuses on being real, in light of the fact that God sees the heart.

We often think of what the outside looks like, and appearance is much easier to spot.

But James, as ever, gets straight to the point, and makes us question whether or not we’re actually saved – if we aren’t outputting the fruit of the Spirit do we really love Jesus?

Pancakes for brunch today, and slow cooked, lemon and herb rub chicken for dinner later.

We've been making pancakes for Sunday evenings for the best part of 17 years, almost without fail - wonder how many hundreds I've made over the years. A great suggestion in the book - 60 Minute Father which I highly recommend.

And some relaxin and chilling as a family today, finishing our game of poker from yesterday (didn't quite finish it) and another episode of [the original] All Creatures Great and Small.

A good day - and Jo switches to regular Mondays off, so we get a long weekend this weekend :-)

And plenty of fresh lemon juice for both brunch and dinner :-)

Washed down, in between, with milk shake, mixed nuts, Jaffa cakes, lashings of tea...a dreamy and feasty day after a pretty hectic week!
