I have blogged before about who we are in Christ but I found this from Greg Boyd and it is of course ten times better – a much more extensive list, even better than mine!! And I don’t just like it because he makes mention of our church camp where he had come to preach … More Greg Boyd on our identity “In Christ”
There are lots of things that God seems to have been repeating lately. One is “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Another is “If God is for us, who can be against us?” All awesome verses from the Bible. And another thing, more of a concept than just … More Value in God’s economy
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.

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
Recently a group of folk from our church went and joined several other folk from other churches to be part of an audience for this live TV debate which I found rather late last night on youtube. The question was, Is Calvinism Biblical? Jacques More, author of the anti-calvinistic book So You Think You’re Chosen? … More Calvinism Debate
