Last week saw the seventh edition of the Prayer Points that have been going on since the beginning of the year. It seemed an appropriate number to have a Prayer Points Plus post that would update on some of the areas that were prayed for, appreciating that we don’t just pray as wishful thinking, but […]
Read More Prayer Points Plus (WE-110226)Am I missing something here? Follow me carefully. I reckon if I did a pop survey of those who are Christians and read the Bible, if I said Matthew 18, I’d imagine a significant number of respondents would talk about binding and loosing. I’d probably get some people talking about agreement. Perhaps one or two […]
Read More Insight From Matthew – Jesus, The Community of Faith and The Little PeopleI am thoroughly enjoying the series on insights from Matthew, and although it appears as though I’m behind schedule with the chapters, trust me when I tell you it is all in hand and come Monday 28th February, it will be alright and all complete. It gives me sufficient time, however to address something that scandalously […]
Read More Remembering My BaptismThe fourteenth chapter of the gospel according to Matthew is dominated by the two main figures of the first half of Matthew John the Baptist and Jesus Christ. One thing that can definitely be said about both men is that they were willing to live by the courage of their convictions. John Pays The Ultimate […]
Read More Insights From Matthew: The Cost & Courage of Living By Kingdom ConvictionsTime waits for no man, so the saying goes, and time has passed again with the usual ups and downs in the world. Here are the prayer points that have come out for this week. Muhammad Ali The man who proclaimed to be The Greatest this month celebrates the 37th anniversary of first winning the […]
Read More Prayer Points (WE-110205)Just a quick live-blog (as opposed to one prepared and typed out, etc.) to thank God for the month of January. It has been one of challenges to overcome, but also some tremendous enjoyable moments all of which I consider as blessings from God. Really happy to have started the Prayer Points series and that […]
Read More Thank God For JanuaryWhere On Earth Is Crawley? I didn’t know where Crawley was before I used the ever so useful Google Maps to locate it on my behalf. Apparently it’s one of those new town type places and there’s nothing much coming out of Crawley. There’s no big deal about Crawley, except of course for the people […]
Read More Responding To The Word That You HeardAs another week reaches it’s end, thanking God for the responses to last week’s Prayer-Points, please consider these points for your prayerful attention. Purity of Heart Recently, I recalled this, Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may […]
Read More Prayer Points (WE-110129)Not that long ago, I was sitting in this church service and it so happens that the topic the speaker chooses is on Spontaneity. He gave a really good description of what it is to be spontaneous and it had something to do with almost acting on an impulse without great thought and with little […]
Read More Spontaneity and SpiritualityIt’s All About The Systems On this trip that is about learning about Christian community something startling strikes me – just how much we rely on systems. Take the hierarchical approach to leadership. Most believers I know would be aghast at the thought of having a church without an ordained ‘leader’ (whether that’s a pastor […]
