If God has made us in his image, we have returned him the favour. Voltaire The futility of idolatry is worshipping something far less than we give it credit for. Imagine your two year old daughter getting some crayons and doing their version of Mummy and Daddy, then showing it to you. The standard reaction […]
Read More Making Jesus In Our Own ImageA Disclaimer: God’s Mysterious Sovereignty God works how He wants to work. Some scandalous, bizarre, crazy situations have been a part of His plan all along. Some of the most dubious characters have been the means by which He chooses to speak to His people. The discerning spirit is so important so as not to […]
Read More It’s Not All About Technique: Real Power in Real Broken VesselsWhat continues to dawn on me is that following Christ involves a series of realisations and revelations. From time to time, if we’re following Christ diligently, we come across something that shifts our understanding about Him, His Word, our lives and everything around us rather fundamentally.

Read More Talking Point: When Ignorance Was BlissWe live in a very image conscious age. The popularity of visual media that ever more focuses on the details that makes one appealing and attractive makes the appearance of even greater importance in the economy of life.

Read More But That’s Cheating … And That’s RedemptionThere are times when the gospel industry, hey when Christianity itself can appear somewhat … fake. You know what I mean?
