Pigwotflies appears at least open to the possibility that a relationship struck up with a fellow blogger might have offline implications for her. Just one thing guys, if you are all going to stampede over to her blog and make your affectionate feelings known to her at least have the decency to do it via email- I dont want you to embarrass the poor girl! Meanwhile Marla has also been wondering if blogging may be a matchmaking tool and has... Read more
It seems that some peoples mechanistic idea of the trinity “It cannot be separated in any way” is behind at least part of the disagreement with penal substitution which is rampant these days. Spurgeon would have had exactly the same things to say about the people today who deny the plain teaching of scripture that Christ bore in his body the punishment due for our sin. And yes, Steve Chalke is among the number of those who deny this teaching... Read more
Solo Femininity claims not to be either for or against Online Dating, but seems to have spotted a lot of draw backs to it. I cant help but wonder whether building relationships through blogging (which is of course open to others) may actually be a successful way of at least beginning a relationship which might subesequently flourish in private emails and eventually offline. After a little bit of google blogsearch research I discovered that back in July Real Live Preacher... Read more
Anyone would think Spurgeon had met Steve Chalke It is amazing how our battle never changes throughout the centuries. PyroManiac has done us a great service by finding this fantastic quote which I stand behind 100% “Those who set aside the atonement as a satisfaction for sin also murder the doctrine of justification by faith. They must do so. There is a common element which is the essence of both doctrines; so that, if you deny the one, you destroy... Read more

The man I delight to call my pastor and my dear friend is back from his trip to Africa, which has been a great success by all accounts. The audio of the sermon he preached this morning entitled “the importance of friendships” is now available online. We as a church are so priviledged to have him as our leader- I want to spend the rest of my life following him as he follows Christ. I know that many will benefit... Read more
The Marks of a Spiritual Leader is another outstanding article by John Piper. There is much meat there, here are just some of the quotes that stood out to me: “All true spiritual leadership has its roots in desperation…. Spiritual leaders have a holy discontentment with the status quo. Non-leaders have inertia that causes them to settle in and makes them very hard to move off of dead center. Leaders have a hankering to change, to move, to reach out,... Read more

You can apply to join simply by clicking HERE and following the instructions. They will... Read more
Blogotional has picked up on my plea for more disaster relief. He seems to have grasped the point that it is in our own best interests to show the Muslim world we care about the dying hoardes. My dream seems to have helped prompt him to write. We cannot discriminate about where we send our aid based on location or religious affiliation. Consider this, an influx of aid from Christians may be the best evangelizing possiblity we have in the... Read more
Something that seems to be of God is happening this week. If the truth be told, I have never had so much feedback on any audio sermon I have posted online as I have already had from Sunday’s one entitled “Good News for the Rejected”. Some of the comments have been so encouraging, and others have raised interesting points. It is such an honour to stand before God’s people and share his word. It is such an honour for that...
