Hi readers. I’ve created an Articles pages where you will find some (usually rather extended) entries that it might be better to have preserved on a page rather than pushed down the line of random blogs. Kicking it off I’ve put up a (rather verbose) article on modern Bible translations – with a healthy sidelong … More New article: Bible translations
I expect this will be a year for a great many “Bible blogs” both from myself and fellow Christian bloggers (as well as a few atheists I expect), being as it is the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible. I thought this would be a good way to kick it off: the witty “ship … More 1611 – the genealogy
I’ve once again been given the privilege of having a chance to preach at church on 9th Jan. In thinking and preparing a bit about what I’m gonna say, this phrase seems to sum it up quite nicely: Yesterday’s revelations are tomorrow’s breakthroughs. Wanna know more? Watch out for the audio of it appearing here … More Preaching 9th Jan – sneak preview

Sorry about that. Anyway, Walk on the Wild Side has been on again recently, and this cheerful bird has been gracing the screen…reminding us … More We’re not people of the night time…we’re people of the DAYTIME!
Hi folks. For a little while now I’ve been thinking about getting a band together and doing a proper worship evening somewhere. As you’ll know from navigating this blog, I got a few songs I’d like to try out. Plans are now beginning to come together, and it’s looking like something may happen in the … More Worship concert sometime in the new year…
Hopefully readers might know that I’m not the kind of person to assume I know everything, and I do not welcome the insults and unconstructive commentary that often takes place online in response to hot topics like this – just an advance notice.
