Rebecca Writes a fan of Lloyd-Jones and clearly a biblical scholar, Rebecca has a blog that is well worth a read. She completed the challenge of my last post with no problem at all, when rarely Libronix failed me. Read more

Someone has moved that bible verse….. Remember that game some of us played as kids in sunday school, well heres the challenge- find a verse (that I am SURE is in there somewhere!) that says something along these lines. ‘Jesus died for the sins of the whole world and especially those who believe.’ I so remember reading that verse, but can I find it!?! I can’t do a Paul and say ‘It is written somewhere’, not least because I know... Read more

One of the many ironys of parallels between the UK and US has to do with our view of politics, religion and the state. We don’t have a well developed Christian Media presense, but most of them, like most pastors would tend to take a rather detached view when it comes to politics. Although it would not be said, it is almost as though we believe that the church should be separate from politics on this side of the pond.... Read more

I really think we are blessed this side of the Atlantic. Christmas doesnt seem long ago and I am already on holiday from work for a week. It seems like every holiday the kids have from school I can manage to get at least some time off. It sure beats the NHS from that point of view.

This doesnt stop me linking to an American’s commentary by Jeff Jarvis who tries to explain the... Read more

Jason Hannagan has an interesting first post entitled “The Art of Raising Your Hand” it continues “There are those few who always seem to have an inkling to raise their hand in class and express their opinion. I happen to be one of those few. However, there is a fine line between being obnoxious and constructively contributing to the class discussion, but how do you tell?” This is an interesting way to start a blog in my view. No fanfare,... Read more

I am one of the first entries in a new Political Blog Directory Why not pop by and submit your own blog- it has categories for different political persuasions including ‘Religion’ which I thought mildly amusing. Read more

Men out there, don’t you forget it. If you do you can’t blame me. Sorry to sound smug but having forgotten more than once before I remembered this year. In fact I did more than remember, I got flowers a card, and I even wrote my darling wife a poem! If you are stuck for something to write you can nick this, which I made it up a few minutes ago. Let me know if you use it!! You are... Read more
