THE YOUNG HAVE BEEN CONNED INTO THINKING SEX IS ABOUT PLEASURE

It's an old fashioned term these days, it seems, but 'making love' captures the essence of what has been cheated from the young, who are continually exposed to shallow messages that sex is about pleasure. Sex, that is just sex, however stimulating it may be or not at the time, is a far cry from love making. As a couple journey together, into a greater intimacy, so their love making becomes increasingly intense and profound. Words such as pleasure and enjoyment appear like trinkets, compared to the indescribable ecstasy of becoming woven, ever more inextricably, as one, in body, mind and soul. For these treasures to be known, what happens outside the bedroom is critical. The quality of the couple's relationship and all that they share in their everyday lives, leads seamlessly into the exquisite heights of their love making. The young may play around in the foothills, in their sexual antics, but let them not be disenfranchised from the holy grail that lies invitingly before them, to find a beloved, with whom they will scale the peaks of Everest.

I AM PROUD OF MY WRITING, FOR JESUS’S SAKE, THAT HAS HAD ME FOUND INNOCENT IN HEAVEN, BUT TWICE A CRIMINAL ON THE EARTH. THE FIRST IN 1990 WHEN I WROTE A BIBLICAL TEXT ON THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT IN PEACEFUL PROTEST ABOUT THE BOMBING OF YOUNG IRAQI RECRUITS DURING THE FIRST GULF WAR. THE SECOND, IN 2016 WHEN I WROTE ON MY BLOG, TO ALERT THE PUBLIC ABOUT A PAEDOPHILE, AND WAS SUCCESSFUL IN FORCING THE AUTHORITIES TO STOP HIM HAVING ACCESS TO CHILDREN. THERE WAS ALMOST A THIRD! IN 1997, WHEN I WAS ARRESTED FOR NAILING MY PROPOSALS FOR REFORM OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND ON THE DOOR OF CANTERBURY CATHEDRAL. WORDS ARE POWERFUL MESSAGES THAT CHALLENGE  CORRUPTION, CONFRONT THE WICKED AND CREATE A BETTER WORLD. JESUS IS THE WORD OF GOD AND HIS FOLLOWERS ARE CALLED  TO COMMUNICATE HIS WORDS,  IRRESPECTIVE OF THE COST.
"You brave, courageous and wonderful man. To stand up for the truth in the face of suppression and oppression is truly an act of a pure heart."
