2, Jan 2010

In his BBC New Year Message the Archbishop of Canterbury sets out that in this global society we now inhabit “risk and suffering are everybody’s problem, the needs of our neighbours are the needs of the whole human family.”

As we enter a new decade, the Archbishop reflects on The Millennium Development Goals, eight key objectives [...]

His Mercies are new EVERY morning

1, Jan 2010

The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning… (Lamentations 3:23-24 RSV)
He fills my life with good things. My youth is renewed like the eagle’s! (Psalm 103:5 NLT)
Skepticism isn’t hard to come by. Another lap around the track, another year on life’s treadmill, [...]

Immanuel: God With Us – Come & Worship

25, Dec 2009

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6
“The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”–which [...]

Advent Conspiracy – Love All

24, Dec 2009

When Jesus loved, He loved in ways never imagined. Though rich, he became poor to love the poor, the forgotten, the overlooked and the sick. He played to the margins. By spending less at Christmas we have the opportunity to join Him in giving resources to those who need help the most. When Advent Conspiracy [...]

Advent Conspiracy – Give More…Take Time!!

23, Dec 2009

What is giving really all about? It seems today that so much of life makes demands on us… and especially within Christian circles. There seems, to me, an expectation on our lives to constantly be giving of our time, resources, of ourselves. Giving too much of yourself is not necessarily a good thing – and [...]

Faith Comes by Hearing – Free Audio Bibles

22, Dec 2009

I have to admit that I am a BIG fan of good quality audio Bibles. I say “good-quality” because there have been and probably still are some pretty horrendous cheap recordings.
I was first given a “faith comes by hearing” set of New Testament tapes many moons ago when they were first released. It was the [...]

Advent Conspiracy – Spend Less

19, Dec 2009

This year I have managed to buy less presents for people – though I must admit it has been fuelled more by the emptiness in my purse than it has to do with the call by the Advent Conspiracy lot. It’s not a bad idea though I love buying presents. Gift buying is often my [...]

Advent Conspiracy – Worship Fully

18, Dec 2009

What does it mean to WORSHIP FULLY? To live a LIFESTYLE of worship? How do we worship?

It starts with Jesus. It ends with Jesus. This is the holistic approach God had in mind for Christmas. It’s a season where we are called to put down our burdens and lift a song up to our God. [...]

Advent Conspiracy – Christmas is coming!

14, Dec 2009

What should Christmas really be about? I don’t think I am the only one asking this question. Just have a chat with a few different people and you can often hear the frustration of this season – the presents, family gatherings, expectations, credit crunch…and the list goes on.
So how did we get to this point? [...]

What is it with Christians? Making Judgements!

8, Dec 2009

Please forgive me… it is rant and rave… vex and vent time… and if I withhold you can bet I won’t be able to get on with my study!!
Yes, what is it with certain Christians that they feel they are able to judge what God is doing in anothers life, as if they have the [...]
