I was thinking about death-bed conversions, as you do, and that led me on to thinking about how we often try to centralise the gospel around us as individuals with “heaven or hell” being the decisive choice that has to be made. So, the mission of the Church becomes that of saving people from hell.Continue reading “The main thing….”

The Wall
Have you ever run into a wall? It would be painful, right? I once walked into a plate glass door. I was working late in a church building. It was late and well after dark. I turned off the lights and put on the alarm ready to leave. I walked across the auditorium towards theContinue reading “The Wall”
Ready for the battle…
This week’s blog continues from last week. Take a few moments to read last week’s if you haven’t already. It will help. In the Film the Director and all his crew had to keep Truman Burbank from finding out who he really was and what he could do if he found out that the Director’sContinue reading “Ready for the battle…”
Get the right story
I’m not a great watcher of films. I’ve slept through more than I’ve actually watched. So, when I mention the film “The Truman Show” you need to understand that I haven’t actually watched it. I have seen the last few minutes of it and I remember the feeling of outrage inside me as my daughtersContinue reading “Get the right story”
Get ready
This might be the shortest blog I have ever done. It’s just a very simple thought, but important. I woke up thinking about Matthew 6 v 33, “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need”. At times in the past, I have approached thisContinue reading “Get ready”
And now for something completely different
Quite a few years ago, before I was married in fact, I used to have a small business repairing motorcycles. In those days it wasn’t complicated to repair bikes, not like now. I had a small workshop and by today’s standards fairly basic tools. One day I had a machine parked up outside to workContinue reading “And now for something completely different”
As close as close can be
There was a lovely short song by Incredible String Band called ‘Air’ which I used to love. It’s about the air that we breathe and it has this line, “You come right inside of me, as close as close can be….” (It’s on YouTube if you want to look it up). I have been runningContinue reading “As close as close can be”
It’s not complicated
You know what it’s like when someone that you know quite well dies, and after the funeral people are sharing stories about the person. Some of the stories you know. You might even be the one telling some of the stories. You might hear a story about something the person once did and it’s somethingContinue reading “It’s not complicated”
The Plan
“His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms,”Ephesians 3:10 NIV I keep coming back to the subject of The Church In these blogs. The title of this Website is about the Church being ‘out there’. By thatContinue reading “The Plan”
Part 2, The Beautiful Bride
Welcome back to the second part. This follows on from last weeks blog, so if you haven’t read that, read it quickly now. Here is the link for it, “The view from the other side” which is a quick overview of God’s unfolding plan and purpose from the perspective of the enemy. “….in order thatContinue reading “Part 2, The Beautiful Bride”
The view from the other side
We know that we are on the winning side, don’t we? We have seen the end of the book. There is NO doubt. We win. Actually we don’t just win at the end, we are winners on the way to the end too. We know that in all things, we are more than conquerors throughContinue reading “The view from the other side”
This week is a bit different
…and it is different because I haven’t written a blog! I normally like to do a blog about this time every week but this week hasn’t been as smooth as I had hoped, so I haven’t been able to write one. HOWEVER….. THERE IS A YOUTUBE VIDEO THAT I would really like to share withContinue reading “This week is a bit different”
Where are we now?
I don’t know if you’ve noticed or not, but one of the signs of the season changing is birdsong. as spring turns to summer, the month of May is quite full of lively birdsong. It all goes a bit quiet in June and July as they have young to look after. It picks up aContinue reading “Where are we now?”

Kingdom come or kingdom go?
I might annoy one or two of you today – I hope not, but bear with me and go back to the Bible and dig for truth yourselves if you need to. What I am about to write is for all believers, but especially so for those who lead Church, whether it’s established church orContinue reading “Kingdom come or kingdom go?”
