Over the years I’ve been involved in some evangelical work across the country – reaching out through work in the community and on the streets especially in York (where I studied between 2004 and 2007) and London (where I have lived the rest of the time); I’ve also done bits overseas, notably in Norway. I’ve … More Salvation: the (really) big picture
And now for something completely different: A script idea I wrote after a philosophical dilemma I encountered not so different from that described herein. The style is unashamedly Sorkinese-American, aka The West Wing. Nothing new here, but a bit of fun. May this Yuletide be full of warm atmospheres for you. Merry Christmas. INT. OFFICE … More A Warm Atmosphere
Hi folks. Seeing as it’s that time of year, how about a present? I’ve just uploaded a new song to Soundcloud called “You Are With Me” and I’m making it completely free to download! Click here to go and listen/download it! It’s a song I wrote fairly recently out of Psalm 23. I partially did … More Free downloadable song for Christmas!
As an addendum to my previous post about the NET translation with the example from Galatians 2:20 and the translation of ‘faithfulness of Christ’, I heard that NT Wright is set to release his fourth volume in the mighty Christian Origins and the Question of God series next year sometime.

Currently I’ll leave it here in the form of this blog but an extra paragraph might make its way into the article soon… I recently … More The New English Translation
Today the Coalition for Marriage posted a blog in which it revealed the shambolic nature of the Government’s supposed ‘listening exercise’ in making its decisions about the proposed changes to marriage laws. It’s worth reading. I post it here again in an attempt to increase awareness of the huge bias on the part of the … More Redefining Marriage and the Government Sham
Following my recent, perfunctory post about the modern phenomenon of owning a diary, I think I’m starting to reach the wording for a good adage to sum up my feelings about what we do in life: The more you do, the less you do well. The less you do, the more you do well. That … More The more you do…
A profound thought for Thursday morning: The modern Western phenomenon of owning a personal diary (sometimes several) enables us to live lives which are far too busy to accomplish anything of any real, lasting value. Have a great day! 😉
One can discover wonders in the spare room. The spare room of one’s parents-in-law, to be precise. Not the kind of spare room that has some kind of mysterious, solitary piece of furniture brooding in its corner, awaiting the inquisitive look of an open-minded child; though I am for the first time, I must confess, … More The spare room
By way of a quick personal update: I’m sat in bed, at war with a vicious cold, which is currently laying siege to my nose and back of my throat. Such things should not be tolerated. Die, evil cold! In general, I believe God has given me the encouragement to really get around to finishing … More Worship and future plans
