There’s not much to this post. Just that the other day, in the context of a mission that we have going on at the moment, when I thought about Jesus in the Gospels, two things struck me without me even really thinking about it (in other words, the Lord spoke to me): purity, and power. … More Purity and Power
I first wrote about something like this in one of my early blogs, “Overwhelmed by need, focussed by hope” which was more specifically about my trip to Thailand two years ago. There I witnessed so many disabled and needy children cramped into government homes with such sparse care available to them, and was needless to … More Why your calling matters
Recently a group of folk from our church went and joined several other folk from other churches to be part of an audience for this live TV debate which I found rather late last night on youtube. The question was, Is Calvinism Biblical? Jacques More, author of the anti-calvinistic book So You Think You’re Chosen? … More Calvinism Debate
At our church recently we have been looking at the life of Abraham in some depth, and it is turning up a lot of discoveries, many of them fresh for a lot of people. It’s often all too easy to summarise the life of Abraham into one short sentence or phrase, and forget all of … More Please don’t pass me by…

If you know it feel free to momentarily pause and sing it … More Worship 6: This is the day…

I don’t want to repeat what we’ve heard from many social commentators who see in it a vibrant metaphor for the crowded-yet-lonely human life in the 21st century West (I hope they do anyway). Neither do I … More It’s not just what you say…
Every now and then (well quite a lot actually) I notice these stories appearing in the papers which detail often horrifying stories not of adults who have committed the usual, sad offences (rape, murder, and so on), but teenagers and children. Today was no exception. Two boys aged just ten and 11 were found guilty … More Are we missing something here?
Pentecost weekend, what a winner! I had such a laugh this glorious weekend. First of all at 9.30am on Saturday morning I went on Premier Radio for half an hour with my good friend Sami Michael to play a couple of songs live and to have a couple played from my new EP “Give You … More Pentecost Weekend
Hi everyone. Recently I wrote a prophetic song called “Did I Not Say” (click on the name) which include a few promises from God all about His glory, His goodness, and His name, and what it is to know Him! Sounds like quite a lot but hopefully it condenses nicely in this song. I’ve used … More New Song Demo Up
