Last updated on: June 13, 2020 at 6:51 am By Adrian Warnock

Yesterday I had the joy of meeting a new friend, Tim Chaddick. A group of us from Jubilee Church London met with a group from Reality LA.

It was so good to meet all of them, and especialy Tim with whom I have corresponded with on email... Read more

The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard. Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. (Psalm 19) Read more

What is relational Christianity?

Last updated on: June 13, 2020 at 6:51 am By Adrian Warnock

A few days ago Terry posted a couple of tweets about this: You are welcome to church life shaped & formatted by business psychology and procedure. I prize brotherly love and... Read more

When it comes to the issue of baptism, there is not a little disagreement among Christians. I am, as many of you will know, a baptist. I believe that the Bible is clear about baptism. I think it is easy to demonstrate it is an initiatory act that is supposed to follow faith, and hence cannot be performed on infants. I believe that baptism is the primary way a new believer is commanded by Jesus himself to dedicate themself to... Read more
