As part of a course I am on with Crosslands I wrote this conclusion in a summary of a book by Richard Sibbes, The Bruised Reed. His theology of Jesus is balm to the soul, I pray it blesses you If as Sibbes states all is of Christ and our sanctification is gained by illumination and not decision then this is good news indeed.

I have been a Dad three times yet I’ve never met one of my children. No I didn’t put them up for adoption or fall out with their Mother I have been through three miscarriages, the latest is still quite raw. One of the things I have noticed in this process is how often this subject is taboo, how often we don’t talk about […]

Flowers Instead of looking at the fashions, walk out into the fields and look at the wildflowers. They never primp or shop, but have you ever seen color and design quite like it? The ten best–dressed men and women in the country look shabby alongside them. “If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers––most of which are never even seen––don’t you think […]

I remember hearing a story of a man who had been reaching out to a friend for some time, going through scripture, explaining the details of the meaning of Christianity and Jesus’s life.

Jesus told his followers that as they were going into the world, they were to “make disciples of all nations”. Note that word disciple. Jesus is looking […]

Too good to be true Up to 75% off then you get in store and that was for the brown slippers on display that no one wants! Or you receive an email telling you someone wants to deposit 20 million in your bank account, all you need do is pay £2k up front. So often in life when something has the ring of […]

As we continue a two week campaign across Italy we have just completed a couple of days in Rome, what history that capital has. Every time you turn your head or walk another corner there is another building, another artifact, another story. It was quite moving to see the site where the great apostle Paul would have been jailed prior to his execution, to […]

Jesus undoubtedly existed, the historical records, archeology all point to it, his existence and presence on this earth are beyond refute. However, wasn’t he just a good person, wise beyond his generation, an inspired teacher with wise sayings that you can take or leave? This is what so many believe about Jesus, however this so far removed from what Jesus said about himself, for […]

The gap between wanting and having can often be unbearable can’t it, you really want something and your not getting it. Our hearts can often be like that wanting the next thing, the bigger place, the higher pay rise, the approval, the acceptance. Do you remember too the Israelites after they had been freed from captivity, when Moses had led them out under God’s […]
