This week I reposted a blog post that I wrote in 2019 about the importance of letting women have a voice in churches. The article got more attention than expected and I was reminded that in the article I hinted at further articles on the topic. I said this… “There are so many gifted womenContinue reading “Let women speak (Part Two)”

Saturday Snippets (February 27)
As well as reading a lot of books, I also read a ton of articles every week. Here are some of the articles that I’ve read recently and have found interesting, helpful, challenging and encouraging. I hope that they will be the same for you, my dear readers…
Holistic care
As some of you may know, I’m in the process of writing my final year dissertation for seminary. It’s a 10,000 word document that focuses specifically on how to care for the depressed in the context of a local church. This is a topic that has been close to my heart for many years probablyContinue reading “Holistic care”
Saints, Sufferers, and Sinners
The church should be a place where people find comfort, where people find a family and where people are cared for. Caring for others within the church is not a job reserved for the paid staff of a church. Caring for each other is the job of every Christian. We are one body, called toContinue reading “Saints, Sufferers, and Sinners”
Don’t Be A Ticking Time-Bomb
Another famous Christian has been proven to have committed horrible acts. I’m not here to comment on the whole Ravi Zacharias thing. Enough people are doing that, some good and some bad.

Chesterton said this “When men choose not to believe in God, they do not thereafter believe in nothing, they then become capable of believing in anything.” When IContinue reading “The importance of truth in a truth-less world”

Don’t Substitute Your Pastor For A Screen
I know, I do see the irony, we are all on screens at the moment. However, there has been a problem with this whole thing way before COVID was an issue. The problem is that many Christians are very quick to make famous pastors ‘their pastors’. Whilst there are many great things we can learnContinue reading “Don’t Substitute Your Pastor For A Screen”
