I found this again this morning. Well, I say I found it, it has been stuck in the front of my Bible for years now, but has been obscured by various other bits of paper floating around there. Anyway I took a proper look at it again this morning, and man it was exciting! Basically … More In Christ
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
One of my favourite verses in the Bible is found in Luke 24 when a couple of disciples have just realised that they were talking with the risen Jesus and they say to one another, “Did not our hearts burn within us as He spoke the word to us?” It’s how they recognised that it … More My heart is the tinder and His words are the match
I don’t know about you, but at primary school one of the tunes we really dug in assembly went “This is the day, this is the day that the Lord has made, that the Lord has made…” That was always a rocking number. 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…
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
So, it happens frequently, as it should with anyone who loves God and reads His Word, that you’re sat there reading something you’ve read perhaps many times before in the Bible, and you are suddenly struck by something that never hit you before. I’m going to attempt to stay away from tautology on this blog … More Sending out the invites to God’s wedding feast
The Lord was speaking to me the other morning in an unusual way. I don’t often find that He highlights things to me in this way, but on this occasion I just found myself really struck by the fact that the word ‘passion’ is hidden in the word ‘compassionate’. Dunno what there is to it … More Passionately Compassionate
Was listening to this and thought it worth sharing. NB “discernment” defined mainly as intuition about current information that is there in the spirit over people, contrasting to revelation which is finding out the heart of God over people. “The church is full of people who like to discern a lot; the trouble is they … More Shawn Bolz on revelation vs discernment
