It is presidential election season over the pond and the debates are up and running and people are being given reasons to vote for him and not vote for him. It is this time of year that the arguments are rolled out about the importance of voting and what was done to ensure people had […]
Read More No Vote, No Voice?Over the next few entries, I’ll be sharing some lessons I’ve learnt from a walk I’ve been on with a friend. 1. Walking the journey with Christ with others. Of course I have my responsibility to look at and I won’t be able to blame anyone else if I don’t do what I’m called to […]
Read More Lessons Learnt On A Walk – Part OneThe writer of Hebrews in some verse referred to being surrounded by a cloud of witnesses. His point was about the heroes of faith who had been the platform for those now in Christ to keep pursuing life in Him with all their might. I’ve not really seen myself as someone with a lot of […]
Read More Thanks For Brothers and SistersI don’t think anyone in this church tonight who believes in God should feel bad if there are days when they find it very very hard to believe. (Frank Skinner, In Conversation with the Archbishop of Canterbury, September 2011) Just believe. Two words I have heard a lot in my life. They are words usually […]

Read More News and the Cares of this LifeMany a man proclaims his own steadfast love, but a faithful man who can find? (Proverbs 20:6) I am only too aware of how easy it is to come across as though I’m all that. It’s easy to talk a good game. I am also aware that when it comes to relationships, people can be […]
Read More MTP20 Remix – Finding The Faithful ManFaithfulness is not a hugely valued commodity especially when opposed to the value of choice. As choice is so vaunted and regarded as essential to quality life not much is said about staying with the made choice. I reckon this is down to two key factors. First not making the most of that which we […]
Read More MTP05 Remix – Wisdom and FaithfulnessOne of the things I love about the community of faith is that it gives you time to be superficial and fake whilst giving you time to realise that being way is going to profit you nothing. In as much as some centre their Christian expressions to the weekly service, there are those who centre […]
Read More Going Beyond The SuperficialIn the last entry I confessed to a critical spirit and the need to focus on Jesus to live out the solution. This is not an individual response – this is an individual in the context of the community. That community is likewise solely focussed on looking to Jesus Christ as the Solution. This is […]
