I have decided it is time I share my thoughts with you about books. I love books. There is something rather satisfying about sitting down with a real book flicking through its pages, which despite my love of everything electronic is not quite replaced by looking at a PC screen. I have benefited so much from books over the years that I thought I would share a little about books that I have read and loved and that I feel... Read more

This from Wittingshire supports my concern that “the generation that began killing its children will itself be killed by its children” Read more
A commentator on my post concerning Terris death stated: We in the States began sowing the wind decades ago and now we are begin to reap the smallest of horrific harvests yet to come. It was inevitable that a culture that, thirty-plus years ago, pronounced when life began would soon determine when life should end….. As an American, I am guilty of the sins of my government; as members of the human race, we all are guilty and share the... Read more
Terri has died in a way quite bizarre to me as a UK observer. How can it be that both the governor of the state and the president can express a desire for a different outcome and yet this woman was starved to death. How can the US parliment and courts disagree so publically? Why did the supreme court not get involved? How can a woman be starved to death without due process or evaluation by independent doctors being properly... Read more
Just spotted an old comment on my blog. It came from a man called Mick Porter who appears not to have a blog. I honestly hope he does get one at some point though. Here is what he graciously said on a post in which I stressed the precious nature of good preaching, and how critical it is that we preachers strive to get closer to the heart of it: I wholeheartedly agree with your comments. I am a “lay... Read more
Preaching the simple gospel is not as easy as it looks. I think that what Spurgeon says below is true to a greater or lesser degree of all preachers used significantly by God. Paul was not the only preacher of whom God has said “I will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name.” (Acts 9:16). But it is of course a great blessing to be involved whether as a preacher or as a friend... Read more
Thanks to feedburner, I think I can now podcast Jubilee Sermons. If any of my readers use this software I would be very greatful if they could give it a road test for me- does this thing work I ask myself? Also, I would be very interested in whether any other sermons are being podcasted, and which are the best podcasting directories. I think I may just get into podcasting as a consumer also. Read more
Why I Am Not A Christian, by Bertrand Russell is available online. Read more
Blogotional appears to be doubting the power of preaching to change lives. I have not taken this matter further lately, but intend to do so! All I have time to say right now is that faith is produced by preaching. It is faith that is the foundation not just of our salvation but of our transformation also. Thus to be transformed we need to hear more preaching not so much to take on board propositional truths (although that is important)... Read more
