Happy new year

“For he chose us from the beginning” Ephesians 1:11 It is the start of a new year. A fresh start. A blank page. Maybe you feel tired. Maybe you are weary. You have walked these roads many times, you’ve been here before. New year, fresh intentions, ending up in failure. You wanted to do better, but […]

Best of All4God 2011

Earlier in the week we looked back at the most read posts of 2011, and now it is time to share what I think are the best posts of the year, the ones you should drop everything and read (unless you are carrying a sharp knife. Don’t drop that. Set it down carefully and then […]

Most read posts in 2011

Hope you have been having a great Christmas. Over the next few days we are taking a break from posting new devotional articles and instead are looking back at some stuff you may have missed first time around. Today I’m sharing the most read posts on All4God over the past year, and later in the […]

Christmas gift ideas

By this stage you may have already got your Christmas shopping all sorted, but if you are anything like me you won’t even have started yet, so I wanted to share a few ideas of some Christian books and CDs that would make good presents this year to give you some ideas. (NB all links […]

Thanksgiving

Today is Thanksgiving in America. I am not American but British (which is always awkward when I tend to spend July 4th working in the USA) however a holiday dedicated to eating turkey and watching sport on the TV is a bandwagon I am more than willing to jump on. In Luke we get a […]
