Colin Foreman : Daily Journal

25, male from the Temple in Northern Ireland. Since becoming a Christian my perspective on life has changed, and having realised that my sin seperated me from a relationship with God, I have set about restoring that relationship by accepting that I am only made worthy by Christs worthiness. Through His death he has paid the price for my sin, and He will mould my life into His perfect image during my time on earth as I attempt to live out my life as a thank-you to the one who gave his all for me.

Maintaining the passion



The danger of becoming insular. As I contemplate my journey of faith thus far, this commercial comes to mind of how we can become insular and passionless in our walk. When I came to Christ some 5 years ago, I was full of dreams with a passion to bring about change in my home congregation. Having now been involved in the "local church" and its youthwork, how are those dreams materialising, am I being an influence of change where God has placed me? Or am I becoming comfortable and insular, like the flea's in this clip no longer breaking out of the mould.
I gotta admit it's a struggle, a frustrating journey at times, but something I feel God has called me to. I just gotta keep my focus on Him, allow Him to transform me and work through me, and continue to keep alight the flame of passion he has placed in my heart. O help me God!!
