The sudden death of popular Christian blogger Rachel Held Evans at age 37 has shocked the English speaking Church online. Rachel was a mother, wife, author, and our sister in Christ. Earth has lost a strong voice. Heaven has gained a daughter of the King. Rachel’s death at such a young age reminds us all that we cannot assume we will live on Earth for ever. Are we ready to meet our Lord as she now has? We grieve for... Read more
His father lost to suicide, Leo turned to London youth drug culture. Jesus had a different plan, and suddenly interrupted his life. Instead of a journey that might have ended in prison or worse, Leo is now the Youth Pastor at Jubilee Church London. You can watch Leo’s story in the video below. Today there is much concern about knife crime, drugs, and gangs. Jesus and His Church can totally turn lives upside down. It is a story told over... Read more
The UK is in crisis over Brexit. We are split more thoroughly on this than I can ever remember us being split about anything in my lifetime. As Christians, we pray for the future of our nation at this time. But I also think we have a responsibility to try to understand the perspective of people we disagree with. We should not be so partisan as to refer to those on the other side of the argument to us... Read more
I wanted to share with you how my year has been going so far. Below is a Facebook Live post I just recorded. In it I share about what has been going on so far for me in 2019. My year so far has been dominated by my health situation and I talk about that, but also by the 21 days of prayer, and the Manifest Presence Conference at the church I am part of. We have had a great... Read more
Do we make it impossible for others to get saved? Do we sufficiently demonstrate and proclaim the unconditional LOVE of God? In the following quote from a sermon on Grace, Tim Keller explains that we don’t have to DO anything to be saved, and shows the outrageous, almost reckless love of the Father who represents God: "Jesus mugs you with his love" @timkellernyc @DailyKeller Read more: https://t.co/6htSWPy2eq pic.twitter.com/MOUo6MStFR — Adrian Warnock (@adrianwarnock) January 7, 2019 Christianity is the only religion...

This is the top 40 most read posts on my blog from this year. There is a good mix of old and new. It is good to see that some of the posts in my Jesus Commands series have been quite widely read. If you are looking for a review of the year, the closest I have written to that this year is my post summarising ten commandments of Jesus, and my health update video. If you have some Christmas...

I have been a little quiet on here recently and will share more about my health soon. But now that I have a bit of mental energy, here is a video review or walkthrough of the new Logos 8 Bible Software. This also shows how I use it with Notability which is a fantastic note taking tool I have recently discovered. Notability allows me to mix handwritten notes, text, PDFs, Word documents, and audio files all in one fully searchable... Read more
Do you really LOVE Jesus? If so, Jesus himself says to you as the year draws near to a close: “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” (John 14:15) Many of us want to live our own way. And so to hear that someone else wants to tell us how to live may challenge our sense of independence and self-determination. But everyone serves a master. The only question is who is yours? What if your master loved you... Read more
Fear and trust sound like opposites. And yet Jesus commands both from us. We are much more comfortable with the idea that we are meant to trust Jesus, so I will start there. View the PDF of this post for ease of printing. Perhaps surprisingly, when you search the gospels in most English translations, you don’t actually find Jesus commanding us to trust him. One notable exception, however, is found in the Living Bible: “Don’t be afraid. Just trust me.”... Read more
