A Lethargic Faith?
You know the feeling; life is hard, work is busy, the kids annoy you, church feels ‘weird’ and your Bible goes unopened for weeks on end. Faith, like other ‘journeys’ in life, can become a bit stale at times. We can loose enthusiasm, we feel depleted of joy. Maybe we get bogged down in theContinue reading “A Lethargic Faith?”

The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth
Imagine every Christian is standing before a judge. They’re then ordered to tell the gospel, but before the begin they must promise to say the truth. How many Christians would be able to do so?

A Death-Blow To Modern Productivity
We all know that feeling, you wake up in the morning and all you see is a massive to-do list. You sit in a staff meeting and you talk about the week ahead and with every task your anxiety rises.

A Dozen Things God Did with Your Sin: And Three Things He’ll Never Do
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 ourContinue reading “A Dozen Things God Did with Your Sin: And Three Things He’ll Never Do”
