Trust Him and Pray. Even when you don’t feel like it. This is the only way to survive and even thrive in the significant suffering. In yesterdays blog post I spoke about the intersection between the series on the Commands of Jesus and the work I am doing on suffering, in particularly reviewing Tim Keller’s book backwards (see parts 1 and 2). Well today those two series completely collide. There is an old hymn whose words I initially remembered wrong.... Read more
Doctrine can be life-saving. As we think about the Truth it leads to thankfulness, and greater love for God no matter what we are facing at the time. I feel like I am juggling a couple of plates on here at the moment. One is the series on obeying Jesus commandments, and the second is the theme of suffering. They might seem unrelated. But they are not. For when we are suffering it is then that our foundation is tested.... Read more
This is a meditation based on Psalms 46:10-11 You can hear it read above via Spotify or on other podcast tools. Be still, And Know, That I am God. Stop, Pause, Sit down, Kneel. Or even lie down. Rest a while, Be still. Or, as you calm your mind, Come walk with me. Unplug the internet, Come meet with me. Put down your phone, Gaze upon my throne. And as we wander together, Just as I did with your first parents,... Read more
In an age of soundbites podcasts are striking back. I learnt recently podcasts are surging at the moment having gone through a phase of looking like they might die out a few years ago. Where they seem to work best it turns out is in producing relaxed long form interviews that get behind carefully honed communication messages. Perhaps people are yearning for more than pithy key messages. The recipe seems to be to take two people who get on reasonably... Read more
Airpool Karaoke with Kanye West immerses James Corden and his huge audience in the phenomenum that is the Sunday Service. What is there not to like about mainstream culture talking about Jesus and listening to gospel music? This is the very same popular culture which has been becoming increasingly Christophobic. Also on board the airplane were more than 100 members of a gospel choir who break into powerful unacompanied singing. James is clearly impressed and drawn in by the... Read more
Are you in complete service to God as Kanye West now describes himself? If Jesus is King we should surely be his obedient subjects. Or do you effectively see God as your servant to meet your needs? Sometimes a new Christian cuts right through the Christian jargon, and our over familiarity with the truth. When was the last time you heard a believer talk about serving Jesus? About obeying him? Watch Adrian talk about this article You can also watch on... Read more
