Churches that are truly multicultural are few and far between today. I am thrilled to be in a church in London which genuinely is not monocultural. We represent our area well and have people from many nations a part of us. I believe this approach is biblical- in Acts its says that there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who on coming to Antioch spoke to the Hellenists Acts 11:20 The believers did not try and start...

Winning a �Warnie� is so graciously received these days that it must cause non-bloggers to wonder. After all a Warnie merely represents me feeling that a particular blog is worthy of recognition. Previous Warnie winners do nominate new members of this exclusive club, but it is I who has the final say and should take the credit or blame! Some have wondered why most Warnie winners are non-Americans. Well, I suspect this may be because Warnies tend to be issued... Read more

Despite this, the subject matter was highly relevant to the more mature Christian and especially to... Read more
Blogotional: is insightful even for him with this quote “the reception of the gospel is not a one time event, but a lifetime journey.” I think we are beginning to converge. Without wanting to speak for David from Jollyblogger too much I think it is fair to say that neither he nor I would measure our success in preaching by the numbers raising their hands on a sunday morning or joining an altar call.

Wittingshire: On Boys and Bikinis shares a conversation had with her eight year old son: “‘Why do girls go around in bikinis?’ he groused. ‘Of all the dumb things to wear.’ This struck me as funny, which provoked him still further. ‘It’s just like underwear,’ he said. ‘They wouldn’t go walking down the street in their underthings, would they?

The Broken Messenger and Gadabout have both posted supporting the notion that preaching should be to both believer and unbeliver. The more I think about this subject that more I realise it is crucial to the church’s health. Spurgeon has been cited in the conversation, and as well as making clear that he beleived every sermon should take the shortest route to the cross he also believed that expectation for salvations is linked to the presense or absense of souls...
