October 31st, 2006 · Comments Off
My Blog Silence has been due to both my Busyness, and quietness in the last few days. Friday of last week I had Andrea and Anna, some friends come from Yorkshire who I knew in cornwall, but unfortunatly that day was overshadowed by a tragic incident, the sinking and consequent fruitless search and rescue mission [...]

Some things Ive seen today: I read a very long, but worthwhile transcript of a presentation relating to the DaVinci Code by Scot McKnight, who writes the ever popular "Jesus Creed" blog, its well worth a read. Ive not actually read or seen Da Vinci Code, but I am going to watch the movie in [...]

October 24th, 2006 · Comments Off

Generous Methodology: Evangelism
October 19th, 2006 · Comments Off
Often I cringe, and despair about some followers of Jesus approach to evangelism, and when Im in conversations with those who aren’t christians I find myself apologizing for the previous acts of Christians.

My Life as the Gospel
October 19th, 2006 · Comments Off

The testimony of Forgiveness
October 17th, 2006 · Comments Off
Im not sure there has been a better testimony to Jesus on such a large scale in the past few years than that of the Amish families response to the killings of their daughters a few weeks ago. As one friend remarked as we discussed it at Church that sunday "They have set themselves free…." [...]

Our little neighbours
October 17th, 2006 · Comments Off
A Sunday school teacher asked the children just before she dismissed them to go to church, "And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?"Little Johnny replied, "Because people are sleeping." Often in our church there is the sound of kids talking when they "shouldn’t be" and babys wailing, and in the last few [...]
