Josiah is one of those great people in my life who I dont have to see for ages and we can still hang out and have a great time. Although he may not remember it, he very patiently taught me how to play my first song on the guitar, a worship song at that. Along [...]

As if I had been as perfectly obedient as Christ was obedient for me
September 17th, 2008 · No Comments
“Even though my conscience accuses me of having grievously sinned against all God’s commandments and of never having kept any of them, and even though I am still inclined toward all evil, nevertheless, without my deserving it at all, out of sheer grace, God grants and credits to me the perfect satisfaction, righteousness, and holiness [...]

Rachel and I sang this song together the other night and went over the lines to understand them properly, whilst making a decision about whether to use it in our wedding in just over 2 weeks time. It is a great song and the original author Robert Robinson penned the words at age 22 [...]

The need to redress the balance in Charismatic Churches
August 21st, 2008 · No Comments
Though I wouldn’t self identify with the label Charismatic, I certainly believe in what are commonly referred to as the ‘gifts’ and have observed the tradition close up in recent years.

Is Theology actually useful for the Church?
August 19th, 2008 · No Comments
I was recently asked quite a common question so I thought I would share my two cents and see if any of you had any thoughts on the subject. The Question was really more of a statement which wanted an answer: "Sometimes I wonder what use theology is for real people in real churches" [...]

Please Pray for Todd Bentley
August 13th, 2008 · 10 Comments
I received an official looking email from an organisation today saying that Todd Bentley has begun Canadian law divorce proceedings with his wife.
