Man's Chief End

Welcome to my blog – thank you for stopping by!  I’ve never done this before and I’m only doing it now after friends encouraged me to share more widely of the life-changing journey I’ve been on with God over the past couple of years.

It’s not as if my journey only began a couple of years ago – I’ve been a committed Christian for 40 years and a church minister for 36 of those years.  But a couple of years ago I began an odyssey into the Song of Songs that has utterly revolutionised my relationship with God.  The Westminster Shorter Catechism drawn up in 1647 asked the question: “What is the chief end of man?” – and came up with the answer: “Man’s chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever”.  All I can say is, I am enjoying God like I never imagined possible!

It began with awakening - through the passion of Song of Songs - to God’s intense love for me and His deep desire for intimate relationship with me.  And the amazing insights offered by Psalm 119, Jesus’ mind-blowing revelations in John chapters 14-16 and Paul’s letters to the Ephesians and Colossians, have helped me understand so much more of the inner workings of how to walk in intimacy with Him.
