A few of us are going through the book of Romans. Yeah. That’s right. Thanks for your prayers. In going through this letter from Paul, I am caught up with the beautiful outline of the love God expresses for us. A love that reconciles and a love that saves. How great the Father’s love for […]
Read More An Acknowledgement Of Great Truth: God’s Great GracePaul’s Brief Chat Acts 20:7-12 is amazing and hilarious. It’s obviously very important to Paul to share with the brethren at this location. It’s so important that Paul, after having something to eat, tucks into the word he has to share. My favourite verse is 9 which introduces us to Eutychus. He falls into a […]
Read More TimeAm I the only person who thinks sometimes the perception of following Jesus feels like an overwhelmingly individual pursuit? I was reflecting recently how intensely individualistic the perception can be, to such a degree that even elements of scripture that are obviously corporate in nature are individualised. What I love about quality radio is that […]
Read More YouThere are some parts of scripture that are not easy to read. What makes them so challenging to read is because they are so rich and heavy with detail. Such is the attention to detail that you cannot just read it as you would a piece of narrative. For example Exodus is exciting for the […]
Read More A Radiant RelationshipPassionate words as ever from the man John Piper on what it must mean for a follower of Jesus Christ to live unashamed. Looking at the Apostle Paul and primarily at our ultimate example Jesus Himself, these are words to help wake us up to how we can get through life living by the words […]
Read More Sermon Jam: What It Means To Be UnashamedBlame MLK For This One I was reflecting on my reading consumption of late, and I must confess I’m rather pleased with how much I’m consuming. Yet I know I could do a bit better in finishing some of the ones I start and stop to read others. So, for example, having mentioned it a […]
Read More Christian Conundrums – For Convenience’s SakeMy youngest daughter Zoë is 8 months old and as long as she is fed and changed at the appropriate times she is the very picture of contentment. She is not as sophisticated as her sisters who are now aware of the ‘treats’ economy and are already developing their own agenda for what they want […]
Read More ContentmentThis may come as a shock and a surprise to you, but I can often be found thinking about things. (Yeah, there you go for the shock of the day – take your time in recovering from that.) As in contemplating them and pondering and wondering. For example today I was minding my own business […]
Read More OriginsThere’s a phrase that people often come across in relation to their current situation. “Can’t complain.” Those people are admirable in my eyes. I very much could complain. It’s not anti-Christian to acknowledge areas that could be the source of complaint. Where we go wrong is choosing to take the complaint. We have the choice […]
Read More I Struggle With This OneI don’t celebrate Easter, but I do celebrate the reality of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ and I find this song as sung by Keith Green to be hugely inspirational in reminding me of that reality and I want to celebrate that today like never before, just as Paul said he wants […]
