Last week I wrote an article about how transfer growth isn’t something that should be celebrated as much as it is. It’s fine, but it’s no indication of spiritual growth or sadly of people becoming Christians. You can read the article here. Naturally there was some discussion afterwards, publicly and privately which has lead meContinue reading “Transfer growth ≠ growth”

This is a privilege that many people can take for granted. I worry that many Christians today have become numb to the joy and honour that itContinue reading “Context keeps you right… or at least it should!”
