“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.” […]

Doubt
I’m going to be honest with you. Every so often I have periods of doubt where I start to wonder if the stuff I write on All4God is having any impact. Is there anybody actually reading it? Is the stuff I’m writing inspired by God or is it my own ideas? Is it worth continuing? […]
Correcting a fellow believer
“If another believer sins against you, go privately and point out the offense. If the other person listens and confesses it, you have won that person back.” Matthew 18:15 Something you would know if you were good friends with me is that I like to engage in a bit of light-hearted teasing banter. I am quite […]
I'm not a vampire but…
I spent the summer working at a Christian camp in New York. As I’m from Northern Ireland where we get approximately 17 hours of rain-free sunlight a year I was somewhat lacking in sun tan at the start of the summer. This was especially obvious whenever I was swimming and had my T-shirt off and […]
In the end
“And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and […]
This little light
You probably know the classic kids chorus “This little light of mine”. Maybe right now you are singing along in your head “I’m going to let it shine…”. But unless you have a pretty strange musical taste it probably wouldn’t rate too highly on your top songs list. Because while the message of the song, […]
Where is _____?
Some day we are going to get to heaven. And the Bible tells us that when we do Jesus will welcome us with a “Well done my good and faithful servant.”(Matthew 25:23). But what if that isn’t the end of the exchange. What if He keeps going “It’s great to see you here, but where is […]
Come as you are
I’ve mentioned once or twice recently about spending the summer working at a Christian camp in Greenwich, New York. One of the things that happened there was that every Wednesday there would be a communion service to teach the campers what Eucharist was all about, what all the stuff that happens in an Anglican communion […]
Procrastination
Procrastination is something I’ve been meaning to write about for a while, but I’ve never quite gotten around to it until now. The Oxford English Dictionary defines procrastination as “postponing action”, and I have a suspicion that God isn’t too impressed when we engage in it. Because we only have a limited amount of time […]
Chosen and called
Quite often in Christian circles you hear how we have been called or chosen by God. The Bible states it quite clearly in Ephesians 1:11 when Paul reminds us that “he chose us from the beginning”. But what does that mean? What have we been called for? Why have we been chosen? The first thing to […]
