If you know me personally and know the kind of ministry I’ve been involved in for the last few years, it will be no secret to you that I love Mark’s Gospel. over the years I’ve read it so many times in one-to-one settings, I’ve preached sections of it, I’ve taught it to others andContinue reading “The Beginning of the Gospel”

Saturday Snippets (February 25)
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…
4 ways to show your love for the Lord
What characterises the life of a Christian? Your answer will largely depend on your experience. You may say that a Christian is characterised by following certain traditions, by obeying certain norms within Christian-culture. You may jump to actions and think about Bible reading, church attendance, prayer and other kinds of Christian disciplines. But at theContinue reading “4 ways to show your love for the Lord”

A Divine Tapestry
The Bible is a very big book which can be quite daunting for some people, both new Christians and people who have been Christians for a while. Because the Bible is made up of different books, spanning across thousands of years, it isn’t always easy to know where to start reading or what the overContinue reading “A Divine Tapestry”
Slaves to time
In the majority of cases when people spend time with their family they’re not keeping an eye on the clock. When we’re doing things that we enjoy we’re not making sure that we’re keeping to a strict end time so that we can leave. When we’re in the coming of family and when we’re doingContinue reading “Slaves to time”

Every year there are thousands upon thousands of books published, even in the Christian world there are so many books out there.

That’s why thisContinue reading “Conspiracy theories, culture, chemistry and rest”

Most of them tell stories from the Bible, or about faithful Christians, all designed to point children from an early age to see the goodness of the gospel andContinue reading “Kid’s corner”
Passion isn’t bad, but it isn’t enough
I’ve seen a number of blog posts recently about sermons, most of which have been good. They’ve argued for expounding the text in front of the preacher, putting the passage in its context (both in terms of the Bible story and redemptive history), and applying the text to the people in front of them. ButContinue reading “Passion isn’t bad, but it isn’t enough”
Into His Presence
Over the last few years I’ve benefited massively from reading the prayers of the Puritans. Godly men who penned prayers that are full of awe of God. Prayers that are full of rich theology and that give words to your own heart as you cry out to God in praise, in repentance, in dependance andContinue reading “Into His Presence”
