Maybe it’s not the whole truth. The book that these people follow makes some interesting statements and assertions. Among them is a kind of exclusivity about what it is to be right. It kind of implies that the only way for life in its fullness is through this faith in this one guy. However, maybe […]
Read More Truth and the Christian Way: OptionsI came across this video very recently. I watched it and in the light of what I hinted at recently, I wondered: what would followers of Jesus think about it? Especially as in this country (the UK) a news article highlighted findings from a survey. It intrigues me because it gets me thinking again about […]
Read More Truth and the Christian Way: FestivalsIt’s great knocking about with great people. My great friend reminded me that in the life of the early church they received their name from outsiders and onlookers. So titles like Followers of the Way and the now very well used term Christian came not from within but from without by those seeing what happened. […]
Read More What If Others Named UsRecently I came across this interview with Dr. Martyn Lloyd Jones. I have heard of him, but don’t know all that much about him. I sat to watch this video and mused on how many similarities there are between the issues he challenges at the time of the interview – over 40 years ago – […]

Being the good tweeter that I am I go on to retweet it. A beloved sister notes it and queries […]
Read More Being ‘A Good Christian’ vs. Following JesusChristianity can appear fairly grim, sombre and serious at times. Have you ever seen people’s faces while they are singing? If you get the chance, watch a video on YouTube or wherever of people singing and watch it on mute and see the facial gestures. They can be singing about a love so pure and […]
Read More In All Seriousness We Don’t Have To Be All SeriousStudying the Bible is a wonderful thing. I read a lot. There is nothing so thrilling, challenging and life-changing as truly reading the Bible. The problem with reading the Bible, though, especially if you are eager to hear what God is saying in it, is that it doesn’t come at once, it doesn’t always come […]
Read More What’s So New About The New Covenant?There is some good stuff being written online and after a while I’ve got up with just a sample of some writing worth reading – enjoy. This is an outstanding entry challenging the view of Christianity that sees itself at the apex. Convicting, thought-provoking and so something worth considering on its own merits. Guy highlights […]
Read More Sites to See – July EditionOh Christopher – provocative title to bring in the readers eh? How cheap can you go! There is a reason for it.
