Take a look at this deeply theological video: If you haven’t seen that before, well you have now, and you’re in great danger of incessantly hearing ‘night time…DAYTIME!’ in your head. Sorry about that. Anyway, Walk on the Wild Side has been on again recently, and this cheerful bird has been gracing the screen…reminding us … More We’re not people of the night time…we’re people of the DAYTIME!
I don’t often speak out like this, but I follow One who twice entered the temple and created havoc. So I thought I should try. Whose church is this that wants to burn Korans on September 11th? Whose church is this that burns Bible translations that aren’t the KJV?? Whose church is this that I … More Whose church is this?
Recently I had the privilege of helping lead worship at an evening of a Salvation Army youth conference down in East Sussex. Ignorant me, I had never really realised how alive and well the Salvation Army still were, and what a great job they were obviously doing with their youth. What an honour, they were … More Baptism
Okay so this is a second post to mention my new song which you can listen to here – sorry about that. It’s just that it’s based on the Lord’s prayer, and I’ve since realised that (among many things that are profound and wonderful about the Lord’s prayer), it really encapsulates everything that we have … More The Lord’s Prayer
In Christian circles these days, a lot can be and has been said about the heart, and how God views its condition. Much of what is said is good; other times it can be a little vacuous, if statements like “well, God knows our hearts” go without much explanation, and seem to contravene the facts … More Do not let your WHAT be troubled?
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
At our church recently we have been looking at the life of Abraham in some depth, and it is turning up a lot of discoveries, many of them fresh for a lot of people. It’s often all too easy to summarise the life of Abraham into one short sentence or phrase, and forget all of … More Please don’t pass me by…
The underground train system in London can be an uncomfortable place to be at the best of times. 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…
Hi everyone. Recently I wrote a prophetic song called “Did I Not Say” (click on the name) which include a few promises from God all about His glory, His goodness, and His name, and what it is to know Him! Sounds like quite a lot but hopefully it condenses nicely in this song. I’ve used … More New Song Demo Up
