"Consider Him"

Consider Him

Simple Thoughts For The "Feeble Folk

This unpretentious little volume came into my hands just a little while ago. It is physically very small, but neither its smallness nor its sub-title should be allowed to put the reader off. I purchased it for an insignificant price, but I have been amply rewarded.

It captivated me early on in its 126 pages, with expressions I thought were mine alone, exclusively mine! But I feel this has confirmed that such puny expressions must be Holy Spirit granted; none are in any way "new revelations," only "peculiar" ways of expression.

The main title says it all, it is soul-occupation with the precious Saviour, the Son of the Fathers' love.

Apart from a few "titles" regarding Divine Persons, and of the saints of this dispensation, I am left without any misgivings in recommending it to any believer, if they can find a copy. I have only found one other copy on the internet and surmise that it is very scarce.

As to the author we only have his initials appended to the book, K.B. and I have not been able to discover his full name. I contacted the seller of the book on the internet as his copy bears the authors' signature. I requested him to decipher the name and kindly inform me, but sadly he did not respond. Any help would be appreciated and may be sent to me by email. I append my email address. Thank you in anticipation, in Him, Tom.

Removal of Offensive Statues

Removal of Offensive Statues
John Newton 1725-1807

I have no political affiliations or views, never having voted at any time or in any connection. this is NOT a political or racial statement, and is attributable to me alone. I am not expressing the views of any other person or persons.

In Bristol U.K. where I currently live there is a faction who want various statues removed in many different locations in the U.K. In general it is based on historic facts proving them to be  Slave Traders, although sometimes the factual  basis appears rather tenuous.

A number of people have asked the very pertinent question, "where will it all end?" I am apt to voice the same query.

With the advent of demolishing statues erected to honour (some) who were definitely involved in Slave Trading, the momentum is gathering apace. Will there now be a concerted call to remove, destroy or demolish the sculpture of the face of John Newton found in the "Amazing Grace Park" in County Donegal? And will there be a banishment order placed upon singing all his hymns, particularly "Amazing Grace," which appears to be a favourite with many choirs who often have black soloists and singers among their number?

I am afraid that MUST be the case if the argument is to be void of hypocrisy and in conformity with the actions taken at this time. 
Just by way of an interesting aside, Newton was enslaved himself by a black woman of the Sherbro people of Sierra Leone. Will it not cause some considerable perturbation and embarrassment if genuine and earnest research is made into Slavers who were black themselves?
