In what could be the first of a series (I suppose) on hermeneutics (and that depends on whether I find enough time/inspiration springing up to continue on other issues), I thought I’d at least make a little note containing my thoughts on a certain hermeneutic principle which is found to be prevalent especially in the … More The Bible – are we supposed to take it literally?
Just a short one. The traditional Christmas-card image of angels holding hymn-books and all singing something which requires their mouths to be thoroughly round (must be O come all ye faithful) – have you noticed that no one sings like that? – doesn’t usually shake anyone’s Biblical grasp too much. Indeed the great penultimate verse … More Angels sing in the Bible
There were several chefs in the Bible: the Levites who got roast dinner every day; Habakkuk (it’s in the name); Ezekiel who favoured the cooking-over-human-excreme nt method (controversial) and who also created a breakfast cereal still popular in the States today (http://www.answerfitness.com/129/ezekiel-49-sprouted-whole-grain-cereal-healthy-food-of-the-day/); and Enosh, known for his internet food distribution.

Jean Darnell service at Kensington Temple Today I had the privilege of being able to attend a special leaders’ meeting at Kensington Temple in London where prophetess Jean Darnell was sharing, on what is likely to be her last visit to London.

In continuation of my long-but-slow running series on Worship (“Don’t say anything unless it’s worth taking a long time to say” – Treebeard, Lord of the Rings – my paraphrase), I wanted to put up a blog on the subject of Extravagant Worship. That Treebeard quote above wasn’t serious by the way. In these days … More Worship 4: Extravagant Worship
[Note: unashamed Bible Study time. Get in that frame of thinking. This is good stuff.] The Rock of the Revelation of Jesus Christ In the first two chapters of Peter’s first epistle, we have a beautiful picture presented to us of the house of God. It takes some work, especially in the first chapter, to … More Jesus Rocks (cheesy title I know)
“The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.” 1 John 3:8 As He was coming down from the mountain one time, Jesus was suddenly approached by a social outcast of the day – a leper.
