I had an experience once, a few years ago, and since then I’ve not been able to shake this thought I have about communion. The experience was that I was at a conference with a bunch of other fired-up young people/young adults. I actually only knew one of them but when you’re with a load … More Communion – wafers and wine, or cakes and coffee?
I feel like I should say something special to commemorate post no. 99. (Not post no. 100 – that would be too clichéd) But those who know me will know I’m not usually the type who says something just for the sake of it. So what can I say? Only what’s on my mind at … More Post #99
Regular listeners to the podcast that comes out from Bethel Church in Redding, California, will have heard Bill Johnson saying this kind of thing lately: we’ve got to remember that everything is by grace. Even our greatest victories, it’s only because of grace. We must never lose sight of that. It’s a good point made … More It really is all about grace
We have a good God. It is my firm belief that the understanding and belief that ‘God is good’ is the cornerstone to good theology. Living with an awareness of this, I have found more and more that Scripture confirms and underlines this! And here is just one more example that has been feeding my … More God’s mouth and His hand
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!
Hopefully readers might know that I’m not the kind of person to assume I know everything, and I do not welcome the insults and unconstructive commentary that often takes place online in response to hot topics like this – just an advance notice. But I cannot help but be bemused as to how Dawkins and … More Bemused (amused?) by Richard Dawkins’ logic
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
