Salvation belongs to the Lord. The whole Bible is a story of deliverance. God delivers his people by miracles. When they came out of Egypt they sung “who is there like you O God” They were also destined by promises. He tells them “I will give you the land.” The slavish mentality needed to be broken. God opens the sea for them. He guided them with heavenly GPS, he made sure their shoes never run out. They were kept by... Read more

Brian Mowrey began by explaining how this passage has haunted him. It took just one generation to forget what God had done for the nation. In the USA church scene it can look as though the best days are in the past. The decline in percentage of evangelicals is striking: 65% of Builder generation (pre-war), 35% of the boomer generation, 16% of Gen X, and of the Millenial generation, just 4%. There is a generation who does not know God,... Read more
Almost 500 raucous students and twenties just created a whole lot of noise in this place. But, as a hotel guest who was not part of the conference noted, it was not because of too much drinking. The music sounded at times like it would not have been out of place at a party. There was dancing, there were hands lifted. We celebrated our Great God. There is truly no one like our Jesus. Our God really does reign. We... Read more

So they not only let me into the country, they also let me into the students and twenties conference! Back home in the UK I am routinely banned from going to students and twenties events, even when they call it twenties PLUS as our guys back at Jubilee London do. I suppose that as I do actually turn 40 in just a couple of months, I should not be surprised. Shh…don’t tell my American friends or they might throw me... Read more

Today, I will conclude my review of 2010’s blogging. At the begining of June I shared notes from a sermon I preached, A People on a Mission. I also began some work on a planned online study guide for Raised With Christ. This included video footage and questions for people to consider or discuss in groups as they read the book. Unfortunately I had to put that on hold due initially to sickness, but later due to a season of... Read more
The year began for me in Enfield Cineworld where I would of course spend most Sunday mornings, and many other meetings during the year. I love being rooted in Jubilee Church, it helps keep me sane! Tope’s sermon on prayer, and the prayer of blessing which began it helped set the tone for what would be a busy year. Just a few days into the year my first book, Raised With Christ was launched. Response has been overwhelming to me,... Read more
At this time of year I always like to thank all those who have sent readers here, and of course the readers themselves. In the past twelve months a staggering 2,090 sites other than search engines sent traffic to this site. I wish I could thank all of you individually. Many of these will have sent just a tiny handful of individual visitors. I know for some of you, you run a small blog with few readers and maybe you... Read more
