I wasn’t the only one who found they had a hoarse voice when our service ended over at Jubilee, London last Sunday. As part of our worship we had a run of African-style songs, and as we sang, we began to relax a little and get a bit excited about our Lord Jesus. At the end of the planned sequence of songs something happened that has never occurred before. Spontaneously, worshippers began crying out, “MORE! MORE!” It was an amazing... Read more
This autumn a Worship School will be taking place on the south coast of England. Home of some well-known Christian worship leaders such as Stuart Townend, Phatfish, Paul Oakley, and Simon Brading, among others, Church of Christ the King is something of a worship center. This autumn, if you want to learn more about leading worship or playing in a worship band, why not sign up to attend training sessions in which they will all be sharing. You can also... Read more
A few weeks back a guest writer over at Desiring God listed twelve sins for which we usually blame others. This is priceless—here are the first six. Please go and read the rest. AngerI wouldn’t lose my temper if my co-workers were easier to get along with, or if my kids behaved better, or if my spouse were more considerate.

UPDATE You can watch the Newday promo video right here: The summer is officially here, or at least it is in England, although with our odd weather, we can’t guarantee what we will experience over the next few weeks! But it is a good time to think ahead to next year and think about what events you are planning to attend. I will share a few of my personal picks. There are also a number of other Newfrontiers conferences in... Read more

In case the title of this post completely mystifys you and you have not heard of this group of Christians, I have written previously about them in “What is a Reformed Charismatic?” The phrase “1,000 reformed charismatic churches” has been going around in my head on and off for awhile now. Because several different applications of that number are running through my mind, I thought I’d share each of them with you here. The first thought I had was simply... Read more
Yesterday I preached at Jubilee and thought, as usual, that I would share my notes and the audio here. But before I get to that, since it’s Monday and my habit in “normal” times is to share a quote with you from Doctor Martyn Lloyd-Jones, this quote is a good one to begin with as, in many ways, it sets the scene for what I was preaching on. “What should we be seeking? We should always be seeking the Lord... Read more
This little video was used for the New Word Alive 2008 conference and does a great job of summarizing the glorious message of the Bible, which is that God forgives fallen people like you and me! Read more
One of my habits is that once per year I like to share with you a list of the top traffic referrers to my blog. This excludes search engines and blog aggregators. This time I thought I’d do it for half a year. So, here is the list for the first six months of 2008. You can compare the 2007 list — positions are placed in brackets after the current one. There are a few things that are worth noting.... Read more
