Theology really matters and everyone is a theologian, whether you realise it or not. I have often heard people in the past say “I don’t like doctrine or theology, it’s quite divisive. I prefer to have a childlike faith and leave the deep thinking to others” However, if you have a thought about God (whichContinue reading “The Impact of Theology: Enhance Your Understanding”

Gospel Stories
Stories have a way of catching your attention, drawing you in and helping you explore another world. Not only that but stories have the ability to shape the way you think, the way you understand and see the world around you.

Saturday Snippets (March 22)
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…
Motyer by the Day
Alec Motyer was a well known British Bible teacher and author who has written lots of commentaries and books on a variety of topics.

If you’ve been around church for any length of time you’llContinue reading “Does God really love everyone?”
Productivity, Doubts, Dead Kings and a Deeper Faith

They doubt the salvation of others who disagree with them. Shocking, I know, but I’ve seen it.

Our lack of discipline and devotion can make it seem that the Spirit is not at work in us. I would sayContinue reading “Enjoying Jesus”
