Especially in the type of churches that recognise a need to be more lively and participatory there can almost be schizophrenic approach to faith. I know because it’s a struggle I went through especially during my years at university. There are the things to be said and […]
Read More Beware The DisconnectFrom flavour of the month and getting the plaudits by conforming to the conventions of the group to being somewhat estranged and mystified where it all went.

Read More What Will It Take To Grow?The church is like a constitutional monarchy, where Jesus is allowed the title, but has no authority to make any decisions. (A.W. Tozer as quoted in Simple Church by Tony and Felicity Dale – p 25.) The book I’ve just started provided the quote for today’s blog entry. It was through the usual connections (King […]
Read More Who’s the Boss: Jesus Is Lord … On A Constitutional BasisI love the challenge of what we believe versus what we live out.

Read More Insights From Mark – Whatever Happened To The Good News?What would happen if certain key elements and foundational pillars of our life framework turned out to be false? What if certain things we had assumed since we were born and had never questioned turned out to be wrong – and not only wrong but actually hazardous to our health? I wonder sometimes if part […]
Read More Insights From Mark – Under DeconstructionRobert Morey has a look at what it means to ‘defend the faith’. I’m keen on these kind of explanations, because they are a help in not just getting what might be an answer, but getting to grips with what scripture itself means and how that applies to how we live in the light of […]
