I have been inspired by recently reading over Revelation 20-22 and particular themes that come out in this critically important final chapter of Scripture. And one of the things that has been amazing me is John’s revelation of the bride of Christ. To some the subject might not be new but it’s always worth remembering … More The Bride of Christ
More and more I find the way the Lord teaches us is by experience. Have you ever looked at the Bible with its 66 books and thought – how on earth am I supposed to learn about all THAT? Growing up as a Christian that was certainly one of my questions. An entire read-through doesn’t … More Two is better than one
I have been struck recently by thinking again about a couple of unique moments in Scripture, as well as hearing about similar experiences from Christians today. The moments I refer to are times when a person of faith in a moment of extreme diversity and tension, chooses to take the action of worshiping in that … More Worship 5: when times are tough
Just a little nugget of a thought which has been buzzing round my head quite a lot of late. I find in my own life I’ve started to overcome any sense of the ‘stigmata’ of being a Christian – ie, being afraid to speak up for what I believe because I’m too concerned about what … More Not afraid of the good news
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. And incidentally, Haggai took his … More Jesus’ recipe for Poisson sur le Pain
Just a note to see if anyone might be interested in my new songs which i’ve put up onto myspace at http://www.myspace.com/bentriggmusic – two of them, entitled Son of Man and Dreamer. Both quite different but hey see what you think. I am just in the middle of editing Son of Man though to make … More New songs
I have a lot buzzing round my head. So I thought I’d stop by to get some of it out. Just to give some context: Just been doing two weeks of intense mission in which God has done more than I possibly imagined might happen, and generally been wonderful. He is really really good! Thoughts … More Some thoughts. Daily advance. Truth and Grace. People.
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. I have of course heard of the prophetic word she released over the … More Jean Darnell – Final Visit to London
