Adrian begins with the importance of the death and the resurrection of Christ and the glorious promise that Christ will come again. It gives me chills just typing that! He then moves into a semi-apologetic approach to the resurrection of Jesus Christ by looking at what Scripture says as well as some historical external evidence of the reality of the resurrection. From here, we read chapter after chapter exhorting the regenerated person in Christ to live in the reality of... Read more
I am really enjoying this series of videos from Terry Virgo, I encourage you to subscribe to his blog if you haven’t already. In this one, he begins to speak about his very high view of Scripture and preaching. It is prompted by the second of a series of values that have governed his work with churches over the past decades. These values are expressed in the form of the kind of church he is looking to build: ‘A church... Read more

Imagine the pain of receiving the kind of phone call every parent dreads. Not one, but two teenage daughters involved in a terrible car accident. All their earthly hopes and dreams for their daughters extinguished at the side of the road, Phil and Heather Stoddart grieved. But they did not greive in the same way as those with no hope. Why? Because actually their hopes for their daughters were not extinguished that day. They had a hope for them that... Read more

As I grew up the NIV was very much the standard translation of Evangelicalism. There has been much controversy over the TNIV in particular because of gender language. I suspect that the release of a newly revised NIV which is said to be reversing some of the more controversial of the gender changes will lead to much interest. I certainly advocate Christians owning more than one translation and comparing them as they study. The text of the new NIV will... Read more

We simply cannot afford to neglect the medium of the Internet as Christians. It truly does represent a revolution in human communication as far-reaching as the book itself. The following article states that approximately a third of the worlds population will be online in just a couple of months: By the end of 2010, 71% of the population in developed countries will be online, compared to only 21% of people in developing countries. Regionally, 65% of the population is online... Read more
