It seems that at the moment all my friends are writing books! Steve Tibbert has been at the helm of one of the largest churches in Newfrontiers as it grew to that size. As such he has received attention both from those who assume that any large church must be doing something wrong, and from those who assume it must be doing everything right! The truth is of course somewhere between those two extremes! I am thrilled that his book,... Read more

When I die, I want to go peacefully like Fred did, in his sleep — not screaming, like the passengers in his car. # Read more
I know many of my readers are pastors. So this video will be especially relevant to them as three great men of God talk about the losses that aging brings, and wise transition. But it is also of relevance to all of us as we remember our human frailty, and strive not to allow ourselves to be defined by what we do for God. Read more
This is the message that Terry Virgo preached at Jubilee Church last Sunday. Next week I will begin sharing my notes from his talks at 300 Leaders followed by an interview I filmed with him. Downloads: mp3 video Exodus 4 This is Moses’ reply to God’s call. Rather unexpected. You would expect a man to say “thanks for a great privilege.” Instead he is reluctant and slow to respond. His life was not a clean sheet. Like most of us some... Read more

This is a further post in my series on the attitude of the Christian to work. Other posts in this series and the sermon itself are also available here. Act 3, of Esther, makes the point that it’s all very well to fit in, and to do good, and that’s very important. But there may well come a time, where you will have to stand up for God; that there may well come a time when it is obvious that... Read more
This is a further post in my series on the attitude of the Christian to work. Other posts in this series and the sermon itself are also available here. There are three types of workers. What are you? 1. There are those who wont do anything and they just get fired ultimately. Although in some careers it can take longer than it should! 2. Some people will do the bare minimum to avoid getting fired. Anyone remember that? I hope... Read more
