You shall say, ‘It is the sacrifice of the Lord ’s Passover, for he passed over the houses of the people of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians but spared our houses.’” And the people bowed their heads and worshipped. (Exodus 12:27 ESV) The Bible is epic. The first five books of the Bible […]
Read More Exodus Extracts 12 – Meal of DeliveranceIt has always been bizarre to me how some can behave in foolish and sometimes dangerous ways and blame it on ‘being in the Spirit’. It’s bizarre to me because one aspect of the Spirit fruit is self-control. That would suggest that dangerous, reckless, foolish and harmful behaviour could never be sourced in the Spirit […]
Read More Solid September Signing: Living Properly Under The Spirit’s ControlI like history as it happens. The bit I like, obviously, is the story. I love a good story and the past has plenty to keep me going. So many tales of the good, bad and ugly. My own past is littered with all the above. Especially the ugly. A friend outlined to me recently […]

Today I stood with others in a church service as the efforts of the servicemen who died in the major wars of the last century were remembered. I was informed by the leader of the service, that these people made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Yesterday I was […]
Read More For Our FreedomI like walking. By walking, I’m not rejoicing over the act of merely walking like from my armchair to my fridge to get a drink and back to my armchair. Though I do obviously rejoice in this act, especially if the drink is ginger beer. What I’m referring to is a slightly more extended walk […]

Read More Of Course I’m FreeRandy Alcorn has done the world a favour again and encouraged us to have a look at an interview Os Guinness to the Acton Institute some years ago. You can of course go straight to the interview. Yet I would still encourage you to check Randy’s three-part blog covering No Freedom Without Truth in part […]
Read More Os Guinness and the Argument of Freedom From vs. Freedom ToLately someone informed me that ‘no one likes to be used’. I know what he meant, but I’m not sure he got the words quite right. We use things every day. We use them without being consciously aware that we’re using them. Take the clothes you’re currently wearing (of course I assume you are wearing […]
