Tamasin attended the Newday Youth event for the first time this year. It seemed strange to see my grown up baby go off for the week, but given how important Bible weeks have been in my own Christian life I was also thrilled. She has kindly allowed me to use her notes and our chats as a basis for a report of the event. Our church took 36 young people with them. They had to leave on a coach at... Read more
Rick Warren loves Jesus. He also loves the Church. So I love him. I know this might offend some of you. He is not popular in some Reformed circles. But, I don’t care. Recently Rick Warren has followed John Piper onto twitter. In an email sent to supporters, Rick credits John with inspiring him to connect directly with people via this incredible telegraph system for the web. I am not embarrassed to say that Rick’s twitter feed is fast becoming... Read more
So asked TallSkinnyKiwi in a twitter post yesterday. My conclusion? Its that God designed it that way. It seems that the scarcity of true fathers in the church was described by Paul, rather than complained about by him. He writes I do not write these things to make you ashamed, but to admonish you as my beloved children. 15 For though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ... Read more
This is just one of several videos available on the Newday Blog, along with pictures and written reports of what several thousand young people, including my own Tamasin have been up to. It feels strange that my daughter is away, but great that she is being immersed in a group of thousands of passionate youngsters running after God. Pray for them today that many more will be saved, filled with the Spirit and healed. There are some great reports coming... Read more
If you are looking for an introduction to Church History, my friend Lex’s blog is a fantastic resource. It is well worth a read. Take for example, this entry on Lloyd-Jones’s take on a famous Welsh preacher who experienced a baptism of the Holy Spirit. Lloyd-Jones writes, [of Harris] ‘Another extract from his diary says, ‘In private society till two in the morning like a drunken man. Could say nothing but glory, glory for a long time.’ (p.292) ‘May 1749,... Read more

Who thinks that short posts like this one only belong on Twitter/facebook? The blog strikes back with this one. This is Bourmemouth, by the way. Read more
Only one book is absolutely essential to save us, to equip us to obey God’s will, and to glorify Him in whatever we do. Only one book gives us undiluted truth–the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Only one book serves as our ultimate and final authority in all that it affirms. That book, of course, is the Bible, God’s Holy Word. . . And yet the irony is that if we use only this book, we may in... Read more
It was a delight for us to have two sets of visitors from two different continents at Jubilee this past weekend. Andrew Fountain from New Life Church Toronto was one of them. He has posted a report on his time with us, which included the following view of our prayer meeting. The first 20 mins were a time for coffee and fellowship and as more and more people arrived I wondered how we were going to fit into the meeting... Read more
