Changes are afoot

Saturday, October 4th, 2008

I’ve just finished preparing a set of talks on Ecclesiology (the Church) for the regional WordPlus course next weekend, and these recent Newfrontiers developments seemed appropriate.
Most people reading this have probably already seen the links I’m going to point to, but in case you haven’t…
By way of introduction, this summer in Brighton (as it is […]

Florida Revival

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

If you’ve looked at anything even remotely ‘Christian’ on the internet recently, you’ve almost certainly heard about the so-called ‘Florida Revival’.
Recently a couple of people have written some very insightful commentaries that I wanted to point to.
Terry Virgo has two very good posts. Absolutely recommended:
Lakeland, Florida
Lakeland, Florida (continued)
Adrian Warnock has a round-up of Jesse Phillips […]

Do you care enough to pray?

Sunday, May 18th, 2008

At Grace Church recently, the topic of the day has been ‘healing’. Nick Sharp has been preaching a longer series on the power and manifestation of the Holy Spirit (archived here) and has more recently narrowed his focus done for a mini-series on praying for healing (listed near the top of the page, here).
That’s the […]

Christmas & whatnot

Saturday, December 22nd, 2007

It’s been a while since I last blogged - I’m surprised to see how long! I’ve had a busy month at work and at Grace Church and I haven’t been great at making the spare moments needed to write my thoughts here.
Rest assured - because I know you were panicking - there will be more […]

Incomparable

Wednesday, October 17th, 2007

Long time no blog! Hopefully I’m going to begin blogging again on a more regular basis.
Anyway, I’d like to tell you about a book. A very good book. A very very good book.
Frankly, I really hope I’m coming late to this party. This is a book too good to have gone largely unnoticed for the […]

No middle way

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

As I’m imagining you’re well aware, the Protestant doctrine of salvation is ‘justification by grace through faith alone,’ although it is most commonly taught as ‘justification by faith.’ Generally it is considered that the opposing Roman Catholic doctrine is ‘justification by works,’ and while this is unfair to their theology (it’s actually something more like […]

Dawkins again

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

So, there’s a new paperback edition of the God Delusion out. Apparently it has a new preface in which Dawkins responds to the claim that he is, in fact, a fundamentalist himself. His denial is … less than convincing. The assumptions of his naturalistic worldview are pervasive.
Peter Williams has posted it in its entirety and […]

Clothed In Righteousness

Monday, May 21st, 2007

I’d like to point your attention over to the new section on the right above my blogroll entitled ‘A Look Around.’ The Name will change to something better when I think of it. It houses the currently empty ‘essays’ page and a link to my dissertation: Clothed In Righteousness.
I’ve talked about this before. It’s an […]

Jesus. Is. Supreme.

Thursday, May 17th, 2007

Go and watch this. Watch it and marvel at the glorious Christ and his supremacy.
You can spare 10 minutes for this. Trust me, you can.
“There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry, ‘Mine!”

On Blogging

Monday, May 7th, 2007

In a comment on another post Matt said, “you are a busy chap! When do you find time for studying.”
Well, there might be a reason behind that somewhere that would explain why I used to post daily, and I now post about three or four times a month: only really when I have time to […]
