My pastor has been on a ministry trip, here is his report, sent from the airport lounge and posted on the Jubilee Church news page.: The Zim conference was a success I believe. I am grateful and humbled. I preached 8 sermons in 3 days to A.O.G leaders. I preached Jesus again and again and again until they could see that – it’s all about Jesus. It always was. It always will be. I challenged them to stop playing games... Read more

Piper Friday restarts this week, and I want to share this quote on fasting which I encourage you to allow to get under you skin and provoke you deeply. It has me: Fasting poses the question: do we miss him? How hungry are we for him to come? The almost universal absence of regular fasting for the Lord’s return is a witness to our satisfaction with the presence of the world and the absence of the Lord. This is not... Read more
The age of martyrdom is far from over. Living in the West we may feel relatively insulated from such things but our brothers and sisters around the world wake up this morning to the knowledge that their lives are at risk because of their faith. We can feel powerless to help. But help we can, if nothing else by our prayers, by being informed, and by supporting the work of organizations set up to help the oppressed. As a child... Read more
Nigel Ring conducted an interview with Steve Oliver who heads a task force that explores how the 600+ churches of Newfrontiers can serve the poor in the more than 50 nations in which we are based. Steve believes it is vital to provide temporary relief for suffering – eg feeding the hungry. But, he also believes we must see that only the gospel can bring permanent transformation. Our goal is to see poor people saved, lifted from the bottom of... Read more

Now, Logos have a special offer for one month only of a FREE... Read more
I have quoted this before, but feel stirred today to quote it again. Listening to this recording of a man who ministered during the last significant revival in the British Isles stirred me when I first heard it a couple of years ago. It is guaranteed to stir you too. Wake us up O Lord! “One evening, an old woman 84 years of age and blind, had a vision. Now don’t ask me to explain this vision because I... Read more
This is a note especially to all you pastors out there, but also to many keen church members. Are you married to your ministry job? Are you married to your church? Well, if you are, do you realize that Jesus is your rival? The church is pledged to be married to him. And you have probably already been married to another woman yourself, in any case. Have you ever considered that it is possible to commit spiritual adultery by neglecting... Read more
