Here is Bible saturated wisdom in the form of meditations which will help you calm your heart and focus on the presence of Jesus. Today I interviewed Naomi Trenier and Mark Wagner both from the Soultime app. Both video and audio are available. We can sometimes think that we need saving from our souls rather than that our souls need to be restored.

1 Kings 17:17-24 On Sunday 26 April my friend and pastor Tope Koleoso preached this sermon online at Jubilee Live. I found it very encouraging and relevant to today’s situation. Here are some brief notes or you can watch the video. At the end of the sermon we sang the outstanding and topical song “Psalm 23” which I have embedded at the end of these notes. 1) Recognise the Mess “What do you do when life takes a bad turn? How...

I have read one too many negative comment about the UK government and their attempts to handle this unprecedented crisis. It’s surely the biggest world wide catastrophe since World War 2. And yet some people just want to still carry on politics as normal and score points and talk about “controversy”. It does somehow seem incongruous with the attitudes of the public, and especially volunteers and key workers. We are coming together in a strong sense of community, for example in... Read more
How do we handle it when we can’t achieve what we wanted to? This morning my friend Keno Ogbo the founder of Tiny Life Moments wrote here on Facebook about how to handle the being in the moment during lockdown rather than rushing to the next to do list and stressing about tomorrow. Many of us can’t achieve what we want to right now, and of course Covid19 confronts all of us with our frailty and mortality. I was inspired... Read more
What would it look like if this happened elsewhere? I am not trying to be alarmist here. But here are some facts. If you look at the entire population of people who live in New York State one in every thousand has now died of Coronavirus. To be clear this is out of the whole population not just of those who have caught coronavirus. And as of yesterday if you consider New York City only the number is even higher... Read more

Poor people in Pakistan are starving because of a coronavirus lockdown. Today is my birthday and I was thinking about the many things I have to be grateful in my life. One major thing I am thankful for is I have never spent a single day worried that I would not be able to eat. So I wanted to ask you to consider supporting a charity using a network of in-country volunteers to deliver food packages direct to some of... Read more

It is easy to pray for your friends, and for your family. But what about your enemies? And I don’t mean praying down God’s righteous judgement on them! Jesus urges us clearly: “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” (Matt. 5:44) Perhaps you have a difficult boss? Someone cut you up on the road (remember when we could all drive freely?) Or someone who has treated you appallingly. Sometimes our suffering is the direct result of someone else’s... Read more
