…That’s it really. Truth comes from going through the fire. Well maybe not ALL truth but I think there’s a whole lot of things that you don’t understand until you’ve been through the heat of the moment and you go “oh, THAT’S why God said that in His word…” It’s like Psalm 12:6 which says … More Truth comes from the fire
One of my most recent and sustained developing interests has been in the area of economics. More and more I have found issues in this realm to thoroughly occupy my mind, especially when it comes to addressing the needs of the poor. From a Christian perspective this no doubt takes a slightly different route than … More Breaking out of the spiralling vortex of capitalism
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
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
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
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.
As a Christian to a Western culture, I can speak from experience of a difficulty many of us in the church have with a need held in the necessarily non-Western attributes of Christianity (speaking of its origins) to be a-categorical in our ‘pastoral’ efforts. (I place the word in quotes because I speak not specifically … More Our unfortunate propensity
Mate of mind posted this on facebook. Thought it was a great article! http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/matthew_parris/article5400568.ece Entitled ‘As an atheist, I truly believe Africa needs God’ Enjoy
I’m still here, and crazy busy! Feel like I haven’t written anything for the blog in ages but don’t worry, that will change very soon. I’ve got lots brewing, including a 10-12,000 word project on Old Testament treatment of money and how that translates today (okay maybe that’s too much to put on a blog!!) … More I’m still here
How far this will go and of what profound effect in the world of cyberspace I do not know, only if someone reads it, perhaps they’d just like to give it some consideration! I wanted to write concerning the so-called Lakeland Outpouring regarding some Christians’ attitude which unfortunately has been allowed to go unchecked in … More My little response to Lakeland
