You’re all sat together, crammed into a bus, or a plane or a car. Different peoples, all from different background but having the same shared experience. It’s quite a normal concept, that we share experiences. However sometimes the outcomes are so vastly different that you’re amazed that the experience was the same.

We all have things we regret in life. Most of us, if not all of us, have probably done something that causes us to feel guilty and ashamed. We’ve done things that we try to cover up. We don’t want people to see the ‘real me’ so we run, we hide and we shut ourselves off from the world. Sound familiar? Can Jesus make a difference to that? YES!

Over the years I’ve read a lot about depression. I have personal history with depression that I’ve written and spoken about on many different occasions. I’ve written a dissertation on how churches can best care for the depressed.

I’ve yet to meet a Christian who isn’t, at one point in their lives or another, reminded of their sin and feels guilt and shame. There are also Christians who feel powerlessly wracked with guilt that they doubt they are even a Christian in the first place. Satan knows how to remind us of our past transgressions and the daily battle we face against temptation, he knows how to plague us. But, if we are in Christ, we are forgiven. If you’re looking for a book to solidify that truth in your mind, this is it!

Justice, diversity and inclusion are three of the buzzwords in the world today. These are not bad things and christians should be calling for justice, diversity and inclusion. In some circles to say that the church should call for justice, diversity and inclusion would be enough to be branded a liberal. But it is vital to have these terms defined and to have the put in order of priority with the spread of the gospel being of first importance.
