With the beautiful game ongoing in South Africa we are going to have several short (half-time sized?) articles looking what spiritual lessons we can learn from the World Cup. Because football is good, and God is awesome, so anything that could combine the two should be pretty epic, right? (And for any Americans reading – […]

Permission to watch the world cup
Not long to go now until things kick off in South Africa, and I don’t know about you, but I personally can not wait. For the next few weeks the World Cup is going to be dominating all aspects of most males (and probably quite a lot of females) lives. Between watching the matches (3 […]
I am not
“Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are” Kurt Cobain. (Never really thought I’d be quoting the Nirvana frontman on All4God, but then Paul quoted a pagan poet in Acts 17:28 so why not? ) I think most of us are familiar with the whole idea that God created us; made […]
Cast all your burdens
I’ve just finished exams. I’m a first year medical student, so while they aren’t the most difficult exams anyone has ever had to do; they aren’t exactly a walk in the park either. They’ve been causing me a bit of concern and stress, and as well as that have been eating up huge chunks of […]

Time to start a new regular feature – from now on each Tuesday I’ll post up a question for you to answer and discuss (in a feature I have imaginatively entitled ‘The Tuesday Question’ – a lot of thought and consideration went into that…) Basically the idea is that some weeks it’ll be a question […]
Labelled Love
The world puts many labels on people. Labels that hurt. Labels that demoralise. Labels that break you down. Maybe you’ve had such a label put on you by society. Maybe you’ve been called a failure, a loser or a waste of space. Maybe you’ve been labelled as too fat. Or too thin. Or ugly. Or […]
Sunday is Coming – Parody Video
This post is dedicated to everyone revising hard for exams at the moment – take a couple of minutes out to unwind and watch this video. If you have been to any modern contemporary services (especially American ones, but there’s lots in the UK too) you’ll probably be aware that they tend to run their […]
It never rains but it pours
Have you ever been caught out by an unexpected changed in the weather? Last Friday was shaping up to be a real beaut of a day. I had had a few lectures in the morning and then was finished up with university for the weekend. And as I was walking out from the lecture theatre […]
