We all desperately want to hear God speak to us, don’t we? Those moments, rare as (we might think) they are, when the Holy Spirit speaks to us clearly and we know beyond any doubt at all that it was the Spirit of the risen Christ, dwelling in our inner man by faith, speaking.

Why Jesus is coming back to planet Earth for a bride not a husband
Easter Paradidomi
I’m colour blind – i.e. I can’t always discern between shades of brown and red and green. This means very little to me except that I can’t be an RAF pilot or a bomb disposal expert. It also means that I occasionally fowl in snooker by playing a brown by mistake. And it means that…
Make Us Dream
Who actually believed that Andy Murray would win Wimbledon last summer as the first British player in 77 years?

Some thoughts on Jeremiah

Jesus and Marriage
I was asked to write a blog article recently for the wesbite of the church that I work for but unfortunately the subject I chose upset several people and resulted in attitudes and accusations toward me, amongst others, of being homophobic.
